I'm in the mood for...

DREAMING

Do you ever have one of those days when you just feel like dreaming the day away?

What do you dream of when you day-dream?

I dream of lost lovers

and lovers that never were
true of heart

I dream of places I've been

And of places I am going

I hope you have wonderful dreams today

hugs

Houston A.W. Knight said...: Blodeuedd,

Once I get a book published (expect that to be soon) you'll see I spend my time at the same far away places as you.

Enjoy the dreams

A man called Valance said...: I dream about a nice plate of steak and onions. Once in a while that dream comes true. I also dream about a bushy tailed cow that climbs trees and lives in the woods. That dream ain't come true yet. Till it does, I'll just have to carry on catching squirrels.; January 3, 2012 12:27 PM
Houston A.W. Knight said...: Well Valance,

I can't do much about that COW dream but I do believe Miss Housty answered your steak and onion dreams last night.

Something to REMEMBER:

Back in September of 2005, on the first day of school, Martha Cothren, a social studies school teacher at Robinson High School in Little Rock, did something not to be forgotten. On the first day of school, with the permission of the school superintendent, the principal and the building supervisor, she removed all of the desks out of her classroom. When the first period kids entered the room they discovered that there were no desks. Ms. Cothren, where're our desks?' She replied, 'You can't have a desk until you tell me how you earn the right to sit at a desk.' They thought, 'Well, maybe it's our grades.' 'No,' she said. 'Maybe it's our behavior.' She told them, 'No, it's not even your behavior.' And so, they came and went, the first period, second period, third period. Still no desks in the classroom. By early afternoon television news crews had started gathering in Ms. Cothren's classroom to report about this crazy teacher who had taken all the desks out of her room. The final period of the day came and as the puzzled students found seats on the floor of the deskless classroom. Martha Cothren said, 'Throughout the day no one has been able to tell me just what he or she has done to earn the right to sit at the desks that are ordinarily found in this classroom. Now I am going to show you.' At this point, Martha Cothren went over to the door of her classroom and opened it. Twenty-seven U.S. Veterans, all in uniforms, walked into that classroom, each one carrying a school desk. The Vets began placing the school desks in rows, and then they would walk over and stand alongside the wall. By the time the last soldier had set the final desk in place those kids started to understand, perhaps for the first time in their lives, just how the right to sit at those desks had been earned. Martha said, 'You didn't earn the right to sit at these desks. These heroes did it for you. They placed the desks here for you. Now, it's up to you to sit in them. It is your responsibility to learn, to be good students, to be good citizens. They paid the price so that you could have the freedom to get an education. Don't ever forget it.' By the way, this is a true story. And this teacher was awarded Teacher of the Year for the state of Arkansas in 2006. Please consider telling others about this message...tell them to come here to read and ponder then pass along, so none of us will ever forget that the freedoms we have in this great country were earned by U. S. Veterans.
