Waking up early
Greeting from full moon
Dawn, few hours away
Harmony’s sweet tune
Stirring black coffee
Adding some sweetness
Careful, not too much
Gathering up thoughts
Transcribing each word
Quietness, dear friend
Each breath shares what’s heard
Capturing moments
Penning one more line
Steady, without pause
Searching mind’s landscape
Unlocking each view
Terrain, coming clear
Every prompted cue
Finish line ahead
Reaching for sunrise
Writing’s journey ends

When you get right down to the root meaning of the word “succeed,” you find that it simply means to follow through.
Almost all men are intelligent. It is method that they lack.
F. W. Nichol was a Vice President and General Manager for IBM (International Business Machines).
Elizabeth is flying in coach seating on her way to Minnesota. She occupies the window seat, and a quiet gentleman has been sleeping in the aisle seat.
The flight attendant offers her refreshment and a snack. She selects a diet Coke and a bag of peanuts. The attendant graciously leaves her the entire can.
As the plane nears its destination, Elizabeth begins to clean up her tray table. There is a little bit of Coke left in the can, and she pushes her empty peanut bag inside of it.
WARNING!
KIDS DON’T TRY THIS WITHOUT ADULT SUPERVISION!
Inside of the can, a surprise chemical reaction is taking place as the salt in the peanut bag mixes with the Coke.
Without warning, Elizabeth experiences Mount Vesuvius at 30,000 feet. Her little napkin is all she has to snuff out the volcano before disaster covers her lap.
What will she do?
Glancing to her right, she spies a blanket covering the sleeping gentleman.
