No problem, Amy. And Good Morning to you!
It was a busy time, and I was celebrating something else!
The re-election of a good man to an essential post at a crucial time in history!!
Next to that, anniversary dates pale by comparison. At least I don't feel like a Noobie anymore.
Besides, I have the feeling that my real anniversary will be around February, when I started posting poems.
That's right! Inundated as you may have been by my rhyme-storm, it has been less than a year since I put up my first poem! Conspiracy Guy was right -- I had too much time on my hands!

Isn't living in Carbondale sort of like being in occupied territory? I mean, Jackson County has got to be one of the very few "downstate" areas that went for Kerry. And the folks there are still mourning Paul Simon's passing.

LOL! Yeah, the area has a lot of liberals in it. During the campaingn there were Kerry signs all over the city, but if you went outside of town it was Bush country.
To: tuliptree76
Been to Carbondale quite a few times and one of the papers there, maybe the Southern Illinoisan, reads like Pravda.
Good luck down there!

Ain't It Awful!
Read: Lamentations 3:25-42
Let us search out and examine our ways, and turn back to the Lord. —Lamentations 3:40
Bible In One Year: Lamentations 1-2; Hebrews 10:1-18
A friend told me about a man who shouted the same three words each day from his street-corner newsstand. "Ain't it awful!" he would say to passersby while extending a newspaper. People bought a paper because they just had to know what terrible thing had occurred.
Tragedy and dire predictions always make the front page, but if we become preoccupied with bad news, we will succumb to what my friend calls "awfulizing"—a pervasive pessimism that clouds every situation with gloom.
If anyone had a good reason for being despondent, it was the prophet Jeremiah. For 40 years, he declared God's judgment on the rebellious and unrepentant nation of Judah. Jeremiah suffered because of their disobedience, but he clung to his faith in God's goodness. Even after witnessing the destruction of Jerusalem and the captivity of his people, Jeremiah wrote: "The Lord will not cast off forever. Though He causes grief, yet He will show compassion according to the multitude of His mercies. Let us search out and examine our ways, and turn back to the Lord" (Lamentations 3:31-32,40).
Disobedience to God can cause great pain, but the doorway out of discouragement leads to the Lord, who "is good to those who wait for Him" (v.25). —David McCasland
Turn not aside, discouraged one,
Stir up your gift, pursue your goal;
In God's own time you'll see Him work,
He'll give you hope and lift your soul. —D. De Haan
Awful circumstances cannot alter the goodness of God.
