New Year's Resolutions for Mothers of Multiples
by Elizabeth Lyons
(courtesy of the author)
It's time for a cleansing. Don't worry; I am not referring to your house.yet. I'm asking you to cleanse your frazzled mind. Leave all the frustrations, challenges, and tantrums of 2003 behind. Said Norman Cousins, an author, poet, and writer, "Life is an adventure in forgiveness." Take a minute (or an hour, if necessary) to forgive your children for the things they damaged or destroyed last year. Forgive your husband for not realizing or acknowledging with enough frequency how much you accomplish each day. Forgive yourself for reacting less than calmly in your more frustrating moments. Wipe the slate clean. Remember that this year, your children will likely lose their interest in the breakables of yesteryear. Your husband has another 365 days to work toward the moment when you can no longer ask in desperation, "Honey, when are you going to get it?" And by all means, hit the mall this weekend and buy one cute skirt; the sales this time of year are reason enough!

John Greenleaf WHITTIER (1807-1892) But, by all thy nature's weakness,
Hidden faults and follies known,
Be thou, in rebuking evil,
Conscious of thine own. Philip J.BAILEY (1816-1902) from 'Festus' All animals are living hieroglyphs,
The dashing dog, and stealthy stepping cat,
Hawk, bull, and all that breathe mean something more
To the true eye than their shapes show; for all
Were made in love, and made to be beloved, Thus must he think as to earth's lower life, Who seeks to win the world to thought and love. Christina ROSSETTI (1830-1894) from 'A Nursery Rhyme Book' Hurt no living thing: Ladybird, nor butterfly, Nor moth with dusty wing, Nor cricket chirping cheerily, Nor grasshopper so light of leap, Nor dancing gnat, nor beetle fat, Nor harmless worms that creep. from 'To What Purpose this Waste?' And other eyes than ours Were made to look on flowers, Eyes of small birds and insects small: The deep sun-blushing rose Round which the prickles close Opens her bosom to them all.

85. Settle
Keep on with your weary battle Against triumphant might; No question is eversettled Until it is settled right. Ella Wheeler Wilcox (18501919)
http://www.saves.asn.au/resources/wilcox.htm
South Australian Voluntary Euthanasia Society (SAVES)
Settle the Question Right
The Euthanasia Laws Act 1997 was passed by the Australian Federal Parliament in the early hours of 26 March 1997 and was signed into effect by the Governor General on 27 March. The Act outlawed the Northern Territory's Rights of the Terminally Ill Act 1995 and prohibited any other voluntary euthanasia legislation in the Australian Territories. There was intense media coverage of the decision, including a full page article in the Week End Australian of 29-30 March. Headed "Holy Alliance", this article documented the role of an influential Catholic dominated network in undermining the democratic process to the extent that a majority of senators were able to convince themselves that they were right to ignore the clear wishes of the Australian people. (See The Death of Compassion Lynda Cracknell, President of the NT Voluntary Euthanasia Society, quoting "An Inspiration" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox, provided a fitting comment on this sad demonstration of the fallibility of our democratic process: However the battle is ended

    Remembering Martin Luther King av John Martin Pro-vit dikt om minnet av Martin Luther King. Urspungligen publicerad i tidningen 'Liberty Bell', 1978. The Stranger av Rudyard Kipling Från Rudyard Kipling's vers: Inclusive Edition, 1885-1918 (London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1919). Diktens verkliga datum är okänt. Hyllad av pro-vita organisationer som ett bevis på att Kipling var för en seperation mellan raser. The Stranger within my gate, He may be true or kind, But he does not talk my talk— I cannot feel his mind. I see the face and the eyes and the mouth, But not the soul behind. The men of my own stock They may do ill or well, But they tell the lies I am wonted to, They are used to the lies I tell. And we do not need interpreters When we go to buy and sell. The Stranger within my gates, He may be evil or good, But I cannot tell what powers control— What reasons sway his mood; Nor when the Gods of his far-off land Shall repossess his blood. The men of my own stock, Bitter bad they may be, But, at least, they hear the things I hear, And see the things I see; And whatever I think of them and their likes They think of the likes of me. This was my father's belief And this is also mine: Let the corn be all one sheaf— And the grapes be all one vine, Ere our children's teeth are set on edge By bitter bread and wine.

    In Defense of the TRUTH
    By Siahyonkron Nyanseor
    The Perspective

    Atlanta, Georgia September 20, 2002
    If you ever had the occasion to converse with a Liberian and he or she voluntarily told you midway into the conversation, "Baa I swear that's the truth", you're most likely in good company and it should dawn on you not to take any information provided lightly. Conversely, if the person you're conversing with began the conversation with "My Man You Know... blah, blah, blah", you're better off being polite and passing off whatever information provided. Believe it or not, this simple conversation rule could save you a lot of headaches and big time political trouble in Liberia if you know how to play your cards well.
    Social, economic and political inequalities in Liberia made skirting the truth such a lucrative vocation for some people that even friends and relatives were in the same striking range as outsiders. That is, it didn't matter whether you were a friend or relative, you could be lied on to authorities by a closed associate or family member seeking favor from the authorities for a lucrative government job or the like. And successive governments in Liberia have never been denied the opportunity to find people willing to go the extra mile to dirty their hands for the government. The post-cold war democratic fever gripping every nation has not made any significant dent in this unsavory practice by some Liberians. As a matter of fact, the situation could even be worst today with the prevailing poor standards of living and severe economic hardships in the country.

    If you have never been to a puppy mill auction, Toni Webb from Stockbridge, GA will share her personal experience with you. Our thanks to her for allowing us to use her story on our web site and to Small Paws Rescue for passing it along to us.
    A personal report of a mill auction:
    I do not believe I will ever look at the world in the same way again.
    This weekend was worse than I had imagined, worse than I had even been told to expect. I attended my first puppy mill auction in Missouri Sunday, determined to bring home every last cavalier on the auction block. Lucky Star was successful. We got all six cavaliers being sold. Hoorah!
    But that was only 6 dogs out of 200+. I wanted them all. I wanted to run, ranting like a mad woman through the dirt isles of stacked cages, a screaming pied piper, opening and releasing every last one of those imprisoned souls. What I saw behind those latched doors broke my heart, and made it almost impossible to maintain my equilibrium or my sanity, much less the undercover role I was expected to play. Every 15-20 minutes my husband was at my side, asking if I was okay, telling me I could do this, HAD to do this, for the dogs. For the dogs....
    Periodically, I had to escape the nasty atmosphere of the barn for a gulp of the cold Missouri air, hoping the frigid gusts would calm and fortify me.

    Ella Wheeler Wilcox was born November 5, 1850, in the village of Johnstown, Rock County, Wisconsin, (not in Johnstown Center as sometimes stated.) Her parents were Marcus H. Wheeler, and Sarah Pratt Wheeler, with three older children they had followed, "Grandsir Pratt" from Vermont in 1849. In the spring of 1852 the Wheeler family settled in Dane County, Wisconsin and in 1853 were at home on Section 2, town of Westport, where Ella grew up, in the home where she made her reputation as a writer of appealing poetry, until her marriage in 1884, when she went to Connecticut; from which state her Grandfather Wheeler had migrated to Vermont years before. Her education was acquired in a district school, now named Ella Wheeler Wilcox School, except one short term at Wisconsin University, which was as she saw it a "waste of time." Riding horseback, dancing, visiting girl friends, dreaming great dreams and being kind, was better than trying to master mathematics, of which she had a "holy horror." Recently the old Wheeler home was accidently burned.

    Biography of Ella Wheeler Wilcox
    Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850 - 1919)
    Ella Wheeler Wilcox (November 5, 1850–October 30, 1919) was an American author and poet. Her best-known work was Poems of Passion , and her autobiography, The Worlds and I was published in 1918 shortly before her death. A popular rather than a literary poet, her poems express sentiments of cheer and optimism in plainly written, rhyming verse. Her world view is expressed in the title of her poem "Whatever Is—Is Best" (suggesting an echo of Pope's "Whatever is, is right."). None of her work was included by F. O. Matthiesen in The Oxford Book of American Verse , but Hazel Felleman chose no less than thirteen of her poems for Best Loved Poems of the American People, while Martin Gardner selected "Solitude" and "The Winds of Fate" for Best Remembered Poems. She is frequently cited in parody collections ( Pegasus Descending , others). Sinclair Lewis indicates Babbitt's lack of literary sophistication by having refer to a piece of verse as "one of the classic poems, like 'If' by Kipling, or Ella Wheeler Wilcox's 'The Man Worth While'".

    Thank Fate for foes! I hold mine dear
    As valued friends. He cannot know
    The zest of life who runneth here
    His earthly race without a foe. I saw a prize, "Run," cried my friend; "'T is thine to claim without a doubt." But ere I half-way reached the end, I felt my strength was giving out. My foe looked on the while I ran; A scornful triumph lit his eyes. With that perverseness born in man I nerved myself, and won the prize. All blinded by the crimson glow Of sin's disguise I tempted Fate. "I knew thy weakness!" sneered my foe, I saved myself, and balked his hate. For half my blessings, half my gain, I needs must thank my trusty foe; Despite his envy and disdain

    A l l love that has not friendship for its base, Is like a m a n s i o n built upon the sa n d ~ Ella Wheeler Wilcox Journalist and poet Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850-1919) was born in Johnstown Center, Wisconsin. Called the "Passion Poetess," the popular writer published nearly 40 volumes of verse, including her Collected Poems in 1921. "Laugh and the world laughs with you," she wrote in her poem Solitude . "Cry and you cry alone." Like contemporaries Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Walt Whitman , Wilcox created rhyming quatrains that "raised hope and made the blood sing." In 1882, her Poems of Passion was rejected as "immoral." When published, the book sold about 60,000 copies in two years. "With every deed you are sowing a seed, though the harvest you may not see," she believed and achieved wide popularity in her lifetime. Wilcox celebrated kindness over selfishness, the positive over the negative. "There is no chance, no destiny, no fate that can circumvent or hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul ," she said. "I always expected wonderful things to happen to me."

    Ella Wheeler Wilcox
    "Laugh and the world laughs with you,
    Weep, and you weep alone."
    "It is easy enough to be pleasant
    When life flows by like a song."
    Born in Johnstown (within Rock County), Wisconsin, in 1850, Ella Wheeler Wilcox would grow up to become an internationally known poet. At the age of two, Ella's family moved to Lake Mendota in Dane County. She received her education at a district school, which would later be named "Ella Wheeler Wilcox School."
    A photo of Ella's birthplace in Johnstown, Wisconsin. Even though it no longer stands, a marker has been erected on the site.
    By the time she was nine years old, Ella wrote a novel ten chapters long, titled "Minnie Tighthand and Mrs. Dunley." The novel was bound with wall paper, which Ella had torn from the kitchen walls. Just four years later, she began to write stories for the Mercury Newspaper
    Ella revealed later in her autobiography that she was plagued by loneliness during her youth. Her struggles with isolation inspired her to write "Solitude" in 1883. When it was printed in the New York Sun that year, she received five dollars for the piece.
