      This and That Concept!

      Not ready to read a long drawn out novel. Try a short story.

      Need a little inspiration. Try reading a poem.

      Need to cry, shed a tear, try reading a heartfelt eulogy.

      We are all related.

      We are all family.

      Politics got you down, read an editorial and let go of those inhibitions to scream.

      My This and That Book is just what you need to let your mind

      wander and your spirit soar.

      Be the first one to say when asked what you’re reading,

      "I’m reading a little of This and a little of That!"

      (Joyce Marie’s Song)

      My new world will be

      A place I have only dreamed of…

      Where sunsets

      Like my weary soul

      Will rise and fall

      On waters

      That run deep

      No storms… no more storms

      Ripples of peace and calm…

      Trees will comfort me

      Rustling leaves will lull me to sleep

      Peaceful sleep

      Restful sleep

      Where dreams will beckon me to

      A tomorrow of new beginnings

      I cannot wait

      To see what joys my future holds…
