Take time each day to write something about your life's journey. Reflect daily on that which has meaning for you. There is always something but we often let the little miracles go unacknowledged. Capture them, cherish them and claim them as part of the wonderment of your life ~ Mary Francis Winters

CROSSWORD

I like to do the quick crossword over breakfast to see if I can complete it before I finish my toast.  Sometimes yes.  Sometimes no.

ME:  Percussion instrument 4 letters - not DRUM - ends in G.
HIM:  BONG
ME:  What's a BONG?
HIM:  Singular for BONGO
ME:  The answers GONG you idiot
HIM:  It could have been BONG
ME:  No it couldn't
HIM:  A GONG isn't an instrument
ME:  Neither is a BONG
