"Near the end of a journey, too,"

Thought for today.

“It is better to have tried and failed, than never tried at all.”

Have you ever noticed how some TV programs go on and on,

well beyond their ‘best before date’?

The one that springs to mind straight away is

“Last of the Summer Wine”.

It dragged on and on even though members of the cast had long departed.

I think it would be far better if these program had ended on a high note,

rather than lingering on and painfully dragging things out.

It was two years ago that I started blogging

and I have over that period mustered up a staggering

(to me at least) 650 posts,

that’s almost one every day for two years.

I was also amazed to read from my ‘stats’,

that over that period I had received

an amazing total of 3,342 comments across these two blogs.

This was also staggering to me,

until I read that quite a number of those were mine!

But never the less,

it was kind of you to leave me,

not only a comment but also encouragement.

I would on this anniversary, like to thank you all.

I had thought of showing a sort of table as some blogger’s do,

and an award to the person for the most comments,

but decided against that.

You have all been very kind for any comment of any sort.

So,

When you come to the end of a Perfect Day,

And you sit alone with your thought,

While the chimes ring out with a carol gay

For the joy that the day has brought,

Do you think what the end of a perfect day

Can mean to a tired heart,

When the Sun goes down with a flaming ray,

And the dear friends have to part?

Well, this is the end of a perfect day,

Near the end of a journey, too,

But it leaves a thought that is big and strong,

With a wish that is kind and true.

For mem’ry has painted this perfect day

With colours that never fade,

And we find at the end of a perfect day

The soul of a friend we’ve made.
