COUNTING MY BLESSINGS

I put on my nightcap

Said my prayers,

But couldn't sleep -

Went down the stairs.

To drink a cup

of comforting tea,

( to be sure, you know

twas caffeine free. )

I made a list

As mother said -

Of trials and blessings

in my head.

I watched the list

Of blessings grow,

Clothing the trials

With a warming glow.

When sleep began

To nod my head,

Then up the stairs

And back to bed.

VIRGINIA BISHOP

Friendship with oneself is all-important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else. -- Eleanor Roosevelt

Of all the trains in the New York subway system, only one never enters the island of Manhattan. It's the "G" train, the Brooklyn-Queens crosstown local.
