Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's starting out misty, and may be mostly cloudy, "only" low 90s. There's a chance of showers; but they said that yesterday, and while a lot got storms, we got nothing. Maybe today will be our turn! :)
Last night was another seeking and sorting paperwork night - not as successful - and not much else. Oh, wait, I did go shopping on the way home first, for a baby shower gift. That was fun! :) Tonight I don't know what I'll be doing ... but I'm going to push to get something done, and not just sit in front of the TV or computer. (not sure why tonight should be different? LOL!)
We'll see how that works out! :)
Today is "Bastille Day (France)"
Quotes of the Day:
"An ignorant person is one who doesn't know what you have just found out.

"When I was young, my ambition was to be one of the people who made a difference in this world. My hope still is to leave the world a little bit better for my having been here."
-- Jim Henson (It's Not Easy Being Green And Other Things to Consider)
Inspirational Joy for the Day:
"Lord, when we are wrong, Make us willing to change.
And when we are right, Make us easy to live with."
