MISERABLE & MAGICAL:
A GRADUATION SPEECH FOR PARADOXICAL TIMES
I don't usually do this but I was just given this gift from a friend and was so moved by it, I wanted to share it with you.
Some may have seen it... if so, a re-read of something good is always a delight I find. If not, I recommend it highly.
Take some time to take it in. I'm sure glad I did.

**************************** QUOTE BREAK *************************
On some positions, cowardice asks the question, is it expedient?
And then expedience comes along and asks the question, is it
politic? Vanity asks the question, is it popular? Conscience asks
the question, is it right? There comes a time when one must take
the position that is neither safe nor politic nor popular, but he
must do it because conscience tells him it is right.

A reward of laughter for reading this far
PENGUINS SING TOO!
A cyber forward from Susan Lea GHC Tuesday Alto
Some very interesting facts about dead penguins that I never knew!
Did you ever wonder why there are no dead penguins on the ice in Antarctica?
Where do they go? Wonder no more ! ! !
It is a known fact that the penguin is a very ritualistic bird which lives an extremely ordered and complex life. The penguin
is very committed to its family and will mate for life, as well as maintain a form of compassionate contact with its offspring
throughout its life.
If a penguin is found dead on the ice surface, other members of the family and social circle have been known to dig holes
in the ice, using their vestigial wings and beaks, until the hole is deep enough for the dead bird to be rolled into, and
buried.
The male penguins then gather in a circle around the fresh grave and sing:
"Freeze a jolly good fellow."
"Freeze a jolly good fellow."
You really didn't believe that I know anything about penguins, did you?
It's so easy to fool OLD people.
I am sorry, an urge came over me that made me do it!!!
Oh quit whining I fell for it, too
