John Heisman, the innovative football coach for whom the Heisman trophy was named, was born this day in Cleveland, Ohio in 1869. Heisman implemented the audible 'Hike' as a signal to start play.
Though no one can go back and make a brand new star
t, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY
You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call 'failure' is not the falling down, but the staying down.
Mary Pickford
I had to put the picture of the deer crossing sign in my post today. I know that around here there are a lot of them. Not right here in my part of town so far, but just outside the city limits they are every where. The early morning and just before dusk is the time to really watch out for them, but I did have one cross the road right in front of me one day this past summer in the middle of the day. Any time is really a good time to be alert and watchful. I was thankful that my reflexes still work just fine and no damage was done to the deer or to my car.
It is wonderful that we all get a fresh start, a new beginning every morning. If yesterday didn't go just right, today is a day to start over and make the best of it.
You may have noticed that I've included the countdown till Thanksgiving now. One of my online friends reminded me that I should have that listed too. Hopefully I can keep on track counting all these days for you all. All I can say is that I'll try.
Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday!
PRAYER REQUEST
Please join me in praying for some near and dear ones for comfort today. May our dear Lord bless and comfort them as they are going through a difficult time right now.

That was a cute deer sign, Ma. I know many a person who has hit a deer driving the roads when we lived in Montana. Haven't seen any deer here in the city, which would be really unique if I did, couple coyotes though.
Thanks for the countdowns you do!
betty
