And, sooner or later, on the heels of random thoughts comes a few from the heart.

HEART THOUGHTS
Admit your mistakes before someone else exaggerates them.
When it comes to hard work, there are three kinds of people:
Those who turn their sleeves up.
Those who turn their noses up.
Those who won't turn up at all.
Nothing is ever really lost. It's just where it doesn't belong.
Common sense is the knack of seeing things as they are, but doing things as they ought to be done.
When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.
There are no shortcuts to anyplace worth going.
A gossip is a person who creates the smoke in which others assume there is fire.
Mankind is a living contradiction. We are great enough to split the atom, and small enough to split hairs.
Patriotism is not so much protecting the land of our fathers as it is preserving the land for our children.
See how the human body is connected? Pat a person on the back and watch their head swell.
If you're ready and willing, you will often be able.
Defeat is not bitter unless you swallow it.
[with thanks to Menards and list member Cliff R.]

Well, I figured out yesterday that I have a non-work-related rehearsal, meeting, deadline, or event about every two to three days between now and the end of April, so if I don't get back to you right away on e-mail, please understand.
I will, however, see you on Monday.

WEB SITE of the WEEK: Because everyone can use some help in this area - even yours truly - this week I'm picking http://www.grammarbook.com/. Jane Straus has authored this site and book, and while there are lots of things for sale, there a some good free things here, as well. Some basic English rules, as well as some free English quizzes, to see how much you know (and need to learn). There's also a link to her blog that has some interesting stuff.

Mark's Musings is sent each weekday using Ezine Director and I pay a little more to make sure my posts are certified by Habeas to be a safe source of e-mail. That means no ads, no spam, and no worries. Subscribe, view past issues in my Archives, and do other things over at my web site. To contact me and someday get a reply, click here. Someday, indeed. You can forward or reprint Mark's Musings freely but please keep the credits attached. This means you. Original material and musings © 2010 by Mark Raymond. I update this blog with a copy of my e-mail post daily (plus I often add graphics) and very occasionally with "bonus material" whenever the mood or muse strikes. Look for the label that says "bonus" and you can bring all that extra material up with one click. My personal mission statement remains John 3:30. Find me on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/baldmark/. Wind the frog!
