LOST in LAS CRUCES - Three Marbles in the Desert

SOMEONE  LOST  THEIR  MARBLES

in the desert of
 Las Cruces, New Mexico.

I  know  because

I  FOUND  THEM !!!

Funny  thing  is
 that  I  found  each  one
on  consecutive  days
 and  in  varying  locations,
 miles  apart,
 as  I  was  rock  hunting
around  the  region.



I  can  only  surmise  that  losing  one’s  marbles
in  the  wastelands  around  Las Cruces
is  a  rather  common  occurrence…

-  OR -

 ... the  gods  had  me  strolling  in  the  same  path
as  the  one  poor  soul  who  lost  them  all. 

COINCIDENCE  ? 

What are the odds ?


So, if  you  are  the  sad  soul,

{ or souls },

who  lost  their  marbles  in  the  desert,

PLEASE  e-mail  or  LEAVE  A  COMMENT

with   a   description  of  them

-  
AND  -

IF  IT'S  A  MATCH,
 
I'LL  SEND  THEM  BACK  TO  YOU

ASAP !
 

I  really  don’t  need  anyone  else’s  marbles.

I  still  have  all  of  my  own.

I  know  because  I  checked.

Thank you.


In the meantime, 


supposing   that   Abraham Lincoln   was   correct   when  he  said,



“MOST  FOLKS  ARE  ABOUT  AS  HAPPY 


AS  THEY  MAKE  UP  THEIR  MINDS  TO  BE.”,

just  for  today,

I  WILL  BE  HAPPY  !
 
How ‘bout you ?

Thoughts at the Setting of the Sun

It isn't the thing you do;

It's the thing you leave undone,

Which gives you a bit of heartache

At the setting of the sun.



The tender word forgotten,

The letter you did not write,

The flower you might have sent,

Are the haunting ghosts at night.






The stone you might have lifted
Out of a brother's way,
The bit of heartsome counsel
You were hurried too much to say;



The loving touch of the hand,
The gentle and winsome tone,
That you had no time or thought for
With troubles enough of your own.


The little acts of kindness,
So easily out of mind;
Those chances to be helpful
Which everyone may find -


No, it's not the thing you do,
It's the thing you leave undone,
Which gives you the bit of heartache
At the setting of the sun.

1
. 
Promise yourself
to be so strong that 
NOTHING
 disturbs your peace of mind.


2
. 
Promise yourself
 to talk health, 
happiness and prosperity
 to every person you meet.


3
. 
Promise yourself
to make all your friends
 feel that there is
something in them.






4
. 
Promise yourself
 to look at the sunny side of everything
and make your optimism come true.


5. 
Promise yourself
 to think only of the best,
to work only for the best,
and to expect only the best.

6. 
Promise yourself
to be just as enthusiastic about
the success of others
as you are about your own.

7.
Promise yourself
 to forget the mistakes of the past
 and
to press on to
 the greater achievements of the future.

8.
Promise yourself
 to wear a friendly countenance
 at all times
and
 give every living creature you meet
a smile.

9.
Promise yourself
to spend so much time improving yourself
that you have no time left to criticize others.

10. 
Promise yourself
 to be
 too large for worry,
too noble for anger,
too strong for fear,
and
 too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
