Monae, aka southernmush, has asked me to guest edit an entry to her journal. Well, now, that's a big undertaking. Getting a couple of paragraphs for my own WOTD is sometimes akin to pulling hen's teeth. Seeing as the chicken is the most widespread bird in the world, and not a one of them has actual teeth (cartoons notwithstanding) everyone understands this is a daunting task.
This is me with Bubbles, our "Juan Russell" terrier.
I am supposed to put something about myself in this entry. Those who have been reading my diatribes know that I like words. My home is littered with sesquipedalia, who annoy my husband and the dog and get into my writing whether I want them to or not. I like to read Monae's Dear Diary, Sybil's Village Life and Jeannie's Day to Day Life in the Lakes. I also read Jeannette's Jottings, Guido's Seawall Jokes and Northern Trip. Jan's Serendipity and Mrs. T's eternity are also on my list. I participate occasionally in the J-Land Photo Contest, the AOL Community Photo Challenge, and Val's Weekly Sentence.
Our quote for the day is from Abigail Adams (1744–1818), U.S. matriarch; wife and mother of United States President. Familiar Letters of John Adams and His Wife Abigail Adams, During the Revolution, letter dated July 10, 1775 (1875):
How difficult the task to quench the fire and the pride of private ambition, and to sacrifice
ourselves and all our hopes and expectations to the public weal! How few have souls capable
of so noble an undertaking! How often are the laurels worn by those who have had no share
in earning them! But there is a future recompense of reward, to which the upright man looks,
and which he will most assuredly obtain, provided he perseveres unto the end.
