Premium Member YESTERDAY, TODAY, TOMORROW

I am blessed to return to the words of Eleanor Roosevelt
on days when my spirits need a lift…

‘Yesterday is history’ she reminds me
‘Tomorrow is a mystery
But today…
today will always be a gift’.

Premium Member Beauty of Dreams


"The future belongs to those who believe in the 
 beauty of their dreams."  _ Eleanor Roosevelt

              I dream at night
         intricate tapestries of beauty,
      and fantastical landscapes captivating.
         I take a journey to the future,
  transported beyond my present reality  
  with visions of what this world could me.
     I take a magical escape,
  for I believe that my dreams give me hope.

Sarah Palin Answers Her History Teacher

Sarah Palin Replies to Her History Teacher

By Elton Camp

I don’t care if you were my history teacher in school
By what you ask, you surely must think I’m a fool
For you to say that to your class I now should return,
Why that’s ridiculous and makes my face red burn

I assure you that I know American history very well
And that about almost anything I am very able to tell
You can’t know how bad about your remarks I felt
I’m not some dumb blonde like Eleanor Roosevelt
