By Ted Grussing
… going about our daily business I wonder how many people we pass by in the same manner as this Great Blue Heron who was looking for a better fishing spot than he had just left. No saying hi as he passed with a rather grim face … the mallard seems to cock his head with a little attitude and in split seconds the encounter is over and both creatures go on with life … so at least proffer a smile to those you pass today.
Into the weekend have a beautiful one, be safe and remember those who gave it all for this incredible country … no more hotdogs and family gatherings for them, but perhaps the briefest remembrance, a smile knowing that their death and sacrifice enabled you to be here in a free country today. Respect those who continue to serve and daily remain willing to give it all for us.
Back Monday morning
Ted
O Passer-by, O passer-by!
Have you good words of me
Upon your lips as I draw nigh
To you each day?
If so, I ask
That you’d them say,
For soon I’m gone and cannot hear,
So speak the kindly word
I beg, and smile while I’m yet near …
— Max Ehrmann
