This blog is a a collection of my experiences and thoughts. I am making a concerted effort to try new things. I will record my experiences here.
I also love to bake, so any new recipes that I try I will share here with photos of the results and my opinion of how it turned out.
Being of a creative nature, I love writing and doing things with my hands. I am a journalist for two online publications Justmoney and Moneybags. They are financial publications where I cover a range of topics relating to consumer finance, however, I have also written on a number of other topics including fashion, health, travel, and a new book review section which I am leading on Moneybags. Some of the things that I do for Moneybags will be shared here.
As You Go Through Life
by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Don’t look for the flaws as you go through life;
And even when you find them,
It is wise and kind to be somewhat blind
And look for the virtue behind them.
For the cloudiest night has a hint of light
Somewhere in its shadows hiding;
It is better by far to hunt for a star,
Than the spots on the sun abiding.
The current of life runs ever away
To the bosom of God’s great ocean.
Don’t set your force ‘gainst the river’s course
And think to alter its motion.
Don’t waste a curse on the universe –
Remember it lived before you.
Don’t butt at the storm with your puny form,
But bend and let it go o’er you.
The world will never adjust itself
To suit your whims to the letter.
Some things must go wrong your whole life long,
And the sooner you know it the better.
It is folly to fight with the Infinite,
And go under at last in the wrestle;
The wiser man shapes into God’s plan
As water shapes into a vessel.
