Donate Blood – Save a Life!

Donate Blood – Save a Life!
by Sheryl Roush

I was called this morning by the San Diego Blood Bank needing my (rare) “A-” (A Negative) blood type… so I went in immediately to donate.

As is the case more now than ever before – the blood banks are in short supply of ALL types of blood.

After all these years, they finally explain the special “lime green tag” on my blood packs.
I also have rare antibodies — which makes my blood ...

Toastmasters Poem: Twas the night before Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas as I was thinking of Clubs
to practice my speech for ums and ahs to scrub.
This one was special with lots of hoot,
filled with stories in my birthday suit.

The Toastmaster members will surely share in delight
as I entertain them of my wee flight
from the local authorities that one day
refusing to sit still and stay.

As I practice, the lights started flashing;
then out came the squeaker with that old familiar ...

Reciproci–Tea

A Tea Prayer by Dharlene Marie Fahl

God gives and returns to me from within me.
I look out, I look in, and God is all I see.
God is all there is.
Eternal giving and eternal receiving—
together they work in complete harmony.
Like a dance choreographed so beautifully.
We flow together, live together, move, and have our being as one.
This interchange is mutual and divine and mine.
I claim it. I claim ...

Quotations for Thanksgiving

Gratitude is the sign of noble souls.
~Aesop

Thankfulness is the beginning of gratitude.
Gratitude is the completion of thankfulness.
Thankfulness may consist merely of words.
Gratitude is shown in acts.
~ Henri Frederic Amiel

Thanksgiving is the holiday of peace, the celebration of work and the
simple life . . . a true folk-festival that speaks the poetry of the turn of
the seasons, the beauty of seedtime and harvest, the ripe product of the
year—and the deep, deep connection of ...

Happy Thanksgiving Poem

The turkey is cooking; we’ve all been to church,
Our grandparents soon will arrive.
The table is set; the best linen is used,
What a grand day to be alive!

There’s a nip in the air; we’re planning on snow,
We kids have new scarves and new muffs.
The cat, a new bell—the dog, a new bow,
And the phone is ringing for us.

“Hurry up, kids! Talk to great Uncle Joe,”
Who lives a long ways away.
Then we’ll call Cousin ...

Celebrating Holidays

The truest “holiday,” or “holy day” is in the essence of gratitude
we carry in our heart, and live in each day. Not a date on a calendar.
Celebrating holidays gives us an opportunity to pause
from daily to-do’s and survival to find greater meaning
and significance in our life.

May EVERY day be a Holiday in your Heart.

(C) Sheryl L. Roush

Heart of a Military Woman

Introduction to the Heart of a Woman book

When I sit and think about all the military influences in my own life
today, I don’t have to look very far. I reflect first on my immediate
family tree. My father, Hiram Roush, served in the Army Corps of Engineer,
and went on to become one of the best military aircraft design checkers,
masterminded the hydraulic wheel lift system on ...

Military Women: Poem by Ginny Ellis

MILITARY WOMEN
by Virginia (Ginny) Ellis

We are military women,
Who’ve never left this land for war,
Our battleground is here at home,
And our home’s what we fight for.
Our attire has no insignia,
No ribbons, epaulets, or bars,
No shining medals of distinction,
No gold, or bronze, or silver stars.
Our normal dress is jeans and sweats,
That’s a sort of uniform, I s’pose,
Just right for what we do at home,
Thus, they must be military clothes.
Our ...

Quotations for Veteran’s Day

Twenty-five million veterans are living among us today.

put on the uniform and serve us.
