A new year is beginning tor all of
us. For some it will be good and for
others not so good.
But as they say, "Hope springs
eternal in the human heart,’’ and
so we hope for good health to ac
complish all the things that we
didn’t get done last year.
Sometimes it seems as though
there are more unpleasant things
happening than pleasant ones. 1
suppose we just remember them
longer. All these little frustrations
go to maite up the pattern of our
daily living and so we must accept
them.
Recently 1 bought myself a
sterling silver necklace with a
Lancaster Farming, Saturday, January 2,1982—815
beautifully cut crystal from
Austria. You guessed it the first
tune that I wore it, it fell off on the
driveway. A very tiny link had
&. r 9ifen. Believe it or not, I was able
to mend it with invisible thread
after all other methods failed. I
happened to have some remaining
from stringing a broken strand of
Job’s Tears. These are hard and
shiny gray seeds which when dried
are strung as beads. They've been
used, especially for children, since
tune began.
Another nasty little thing that
happended this winter made me
angry. I discovered that mice had
eaten most of my bunches of
peanuts which 1 had hung from the
basement rafters. They apparently
jumped from a nearby box and had
a feast.
Of course there are pleasant
thugs to remember like the
surprise I got when my husband
mentioned eating out after church.
Although other folks might do this
quite often, it was a real treat for
me because it was the first time in
over thirty years of marriage that
we’d done this.
And when our son landed safely
at the Harrisburg Airport on nis
return from snowstorm-ridden
Chicago by way of Peoria and St.
Louis without a mishap of any
kind, it was a ihoment to
relish. So we mix the
good with the bad and
try to make the best of
whatever life deals us.
