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.
