Poem for today ~ To Make a Prairie
To Make a Prairie
Emily Dickinson
To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee,
One clover, and a bee.
And revery.
The revery alone will do,
If bees are few.
Joke of the Day
Joe: “My grandfather would make me stand up still for three minutes and not speak?”
Pete: “Why did he do that?”
Joe: “He said he as getting me ready to ride elevators.”

It’s freely offered without expectation for return
It brightens blesses the receiver and the giver
Make kindness as much a part of your day as breathing
