I am old and I am bent,
first spring came and then it went,
then burnt out in summer’s glee–
thought like fool that I was free–
autumn’s achings crisp unravel;
now, mind gone… Where’s that shovel?!
Oh, a WOW-Wonderful message for us, Melody!! I’m seeing, “Shovel the Snow” on T-shirts, billboards, coffee mugs, ball caps, you name it–think of all the people who would ask, “what does it mean?” An opportunity to encourage, give testimony even. Wowza!!
There is comfort in the safe bet, the familiar, but I want to grow too…be so much more.
Good girl, Tina!! Grow well! π
This reads like a Rumi proverb. Cool.
π Thanks Rob!

Awesome!! π
Not as awesome as you, Melody. You are the awesomest (poetic license about to be revoked!). π
You’re forgiven – my husband was insisting yesterday that if ‘funnest’ wasn’t a real word, it should be! π
That’s just the way husbands are. π
HAHA! π

*giggle* I can’t believe I got a WOWZA! π
I think these items, with your slogan, will sell way better than my fuzz chia deals…
I love what Caddo is thinking! And the message / lesson / take away is terrific! Let’s shovel! God bless you!
π Thank you so much, Debbie..
Wonderful, Melody.
Thank you Uta! π
