Bottled Lightning

"Bring in the bottled lightning, a clean tumbler, and a corkscrew."
Charles Dickens

You can pretty much imagine what he had beside him on a cold night when he was working on his latest novel!!  Adds flavor to his work I would think!

Even Charles Dickens... Believed

There is always something for which to be thankful.

A Simple Rule by Charles Dickens

 I wonder if this still holds true  and I wonder what he was thinking at the time that caused him to write this quote?

**The first rule of business is: Do other men for they would do you.

A Christmas Quote by Charles Dickens

Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childhood days, recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth, and transport the traveler back to his own fireside and quiet home!
Charles Dickens 

For it is good to be children sometimes, and never better than at Christmas, when its mighty Founder was a child Himself.”  
Charles Dickens

A Quote From "A Christmas Carol"

"In the bleak mid-winter
Frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron,
Water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow,
Snow on snow,
In the bleak mid-winter,
Long ago."
Christmas Carol

Have you watched it yet this year?? It's a tradition in a lot of homes.

Just in case you need a reminder ;)

Reflect on your present blessings of which every man has many, not your past misfortunes, of which all men have some. Charles Dickens



And that goes for me too. I complain about what I don't have more often than I smile about what I do!
