Vacation and Renovation

Photobucket


JerichoMonster will be on vacation while I take care of some real life responsibilities. I will also be making changes to the blog.

JerichoMonster will return as soon as possible but will no longer be a part of the Jericho fandom.

Thank you.


NAILS IN THE FENCE


"
There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His Father gave him
a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must
hammer a nail into the back of the fence. The first day the boy had
driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned
to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually
dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to
drive those nails into the fence.
Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He
told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out
one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.

The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father
that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led
him to the fence. He said, "You have done well, my son, but look at the
holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say
things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put
a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter how many times you
say I'm sorry, the wound is still there."
A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one. Friends are very rare
jewels, indeed! They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They
lend an ear, they share words of praise and they always want to open
their hearts to us."

Good luck with everything you need to do, Jane, and we eagerly await your return. Jericho Monster indeed has been evolving and I look forward to its new incarnation.

I agree with Amy V
I hope your resting by the sea
or eating fruit
or drinking tea
while feeling fine
and trouble free
