What the Beck???
“The
purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out
eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.”
Eleanor
Roosevelt
I
am really going to embrace this quote and remember to enjoy each day and each
new challenge that is out there for me.
I was
reading Real Simple Magazine in September of this year when I saw my birth year
on the Simple List. Do you know
what childrens' toy was invented in 1956??
Play-Doh!!
Now, I was
never a big Play-Doh fan, since to me it was a messy substance. I thought it was
interesting that it was originally used to clean wallpaper. What?????
Apparently,
the maker listened to a preschool teacher, who was a relative, who suggested he
add color, take out the soap, add fragrance, and make it a kids' toy. The brilliance of a teacher should
never be underestimated. Of
course, I am a bit bias, ya think??
I was
cleaning off my desk yesterday, and I found a clipping from May of 2016 that
said that Alan Young had died. For some reason, that made me really sad. Do you
remember who he was??? Hint: he
was the original horse whisperer. Okay, that is a little out there – he played Wilbur on Mister Ed.
I
always thought that it was a dumb show, but of course we watched it. We never for a minute believed a horse
could talk, but that was T.V. in the 1960s.
I’m ending
today with a Bible quote:
“Let
us not grow weary of doing good, because in due time we will harvest.”
Sometimes
life can get us down, and we tire of doing something for everyone else, but by
doing so, we truly enrich our own lives. I believe that God blesses those who
help others.
