Gryphon's Word of the Day, May 19, 2007

The word of the day for May 19, 2007 is “persevere” — intransitive verb : to persist in a state, enterprise, or undertaking in spite of counterinfluences, opposition, or discouragement.

I finally got my photos downloaded. It took me all day, not because the files are so huge, but because I was running up and down stairs to the laundry as well. Also, I was trying to print them out to see which of them were really worth keeping.


Lloyd, Tim and Jan at picnic in Portland,
May 7, 2007.


The best of them, of course, are of the places and people we visited. Most of the photos were taken while on the road. America is so vast and amazingly spectacular! Something new appears every few miles. Lloyd said he had seen way too many mountains on this journey. Still he enjoyed the trip. However, the next trip we take, I intend to fly if the drive will take more than six hours in a day.

The quote for today is from Bill Clinton (b.1946), U.S. president. New York Times, p. A17 (September 12, 1994):

     I will get things done for America.... Faced with apathy, I will take action. Faced with conflict, I will
     seek common ground.... Faced with adversity, I will persevere. I will carry this commitment with me
     this year. I am an Americorps volunteer.
