A Bit of Inspiration, a Lot of Information

Today I have two sets of links.: one link to inspire, the rest to inform.

The first is the link to the poem by Henry Wadsworth Longellow recites in English class in Bryony.

The rest of the links are news releases I briefed for The Herald-News.

Today I'm editing for clients, working on fiction, working out, running one errand, popping into two meetings, drinking coffee, and taking time to breathe and enjoy the day.

I hope today brings you many blessings.  Here is the link to A Psalm of Life.
