And He Did It!

It's been a little while since I've updated my blog, hasn't it! One of the main reasons I haven't had many blog posts lately is because I don't have my camera anymore (I sold it to a friend who is using it quite a bit more than I did!). Very soon I will be posting photos of the snow that we got today (we got around 8 inches). It's about time we got a real snowfall up here! 

So, without further procrastination, here is another blog post. Oh, and speaking of procrastination... here is a poem to make this update a little more interesting. ;-)

And He Did It!

Somebody said that it couldn’t be done,
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t” but he would be one
Who couldn’t say no till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing and he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it.

Somebody scoffed: “Oh, you’ll never do that;
At least no one has ever done it”;
But he took off his coat and he took off his hat,
And the first thing we knew he’d begun it.
With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin,
Without any doubting or quitting,
He started to sing and he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it.

There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done,
There are thousands to prophesy failure;
There are thousands to point out to you, you by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you.
But just buckle in with a bit of a grin,
Just take off your coat and go to it;
Just start to sing as you tackle the thing
That “cannot be done”, and you’ll do it.
