    Tuit's are hard to come by...
    Especially round ones.
    After years of searching I have finally managed to obtain a round Tuit.
    No longer will I have to wait to do all those tasks I have put off.

    So guard this one and
    Never lose it.
    Don't let anyone take it away from you.
    Now that you have one,
    There should be fantastic results.
    I have heard people say,
    "I'll be more, I'LL join in, just as soon as I can get around to it."
    Thankfully, it is finally here!
    And now that you have your very own round Tuit,
    many things that have been needed to be done
    for lots of things should finally get done.
    Have you ever said,
    "I'll go visit a Friend
    as soon as I get a round Tuit."
    Or
    "I'll get that done
    when I get a round Tuit"?

    Perhaps you have used one of these,
    "I'll go to mom's or join an club,
    if I get a round Tuit.."
    "I'll help my parents or neighbors,
    I'll help the needy,
    I'll be there for someone,
    I'll do a good deed,
    I'll tell a friend about fish'in
    I'll tell someone I love you,
    I'll visit a sick friend,
    if I get a round Tuit."

    These are all in the past.
    Great new things will be in
    store for you in the future.

    FOR NOW YOU HAVE A ROUND Tuit.​

    Lve it, mingling! I'm afraid I'm guilty, I seem to have been searching for round tuits most of my life.:(

    This is a song I absolutely love, by a group called Casting Crowns. It never fails to reduce me to tears when I take the time to really listen to it, not just hear it in the background.

    "Just Be Held"

    Hold it all together
    Everybody needs you strong
    But life hits you out of nowhere
    And barely leaves you holding on

    And when you're tired of fighting
    Chained by your control
    There's freedom in surrender
    Lay it down and let it go

    So when you're on your knees and answers seem so far away
    You're not alone, stop holding on and just be held
    Your world's not falling apart, it's falling into place
    I'm on the throne, stop holding on and just be held
    Just be held, just be held

    If your eyes are on the storm
    You'll wonder if I love you still
    But if your eyes are on the cross
    You'll know I always have and I always will

    And not a tear is wasted
    In time, you'll understand
    I'm painting beauty with the ashes
    Your life is in My hands

    So when you're on your knees and answers seem so far away
    You're not alone, stop holding on and just be held
    Your worlds not falling apart, its falling into place
    I'm on the throne, stop holding on and just be held
    Just be held, just be held

    Lift your hands, lift your eyes
    In the storm is where you'll find Me
    And where you are, I'll hold your heart
    I'll hold your heart
    Come to Me, find your rest
    In the arms of the God who won't let go

    So when you're on your knees and answers seem so far away
    You're not alone, stop holding on and just be held
    Your worlds not falling apart, its falling into place
    I'm on the throne, stop holding on and just be held (stop holding on and just be held)
    Just be held, just be held, just be held, just be held

    Shedding a tear or two myself spots. Beautiful song and applies so much right now in my life and my family's. I've never heard it so will see if I can find the music for it....

    Spotsbox,

    Thank you for introducing me the song. pnp, I just heard the song in youtube. Music & voice are good to. Downloaded it to my computer. I particularly love the following lines.
    "Your world's not falling apart, it's falling into place"
    and
    " And not a tear is wasted, .....painting beauty with the ashes"
    We have a saying 'its the rock that bears the rigorous hitting of chisel becomes a sculpture'.

    " Hold it all together
    Everybody needs you strong
    But life hits you out of nowhere
    And barely leaves you holding on
    And when you're tired of fighting
    Lay it down and let it go.
    "

    Learning to let go many things in life make us strong & free.



    mingling,
    I never heard of Tuit before. So I am slowly understanding the concept. Thanks to you too.

    My father always kept his 'Round Tuit' on his desk, that way he could just point at it. xD It now sits on my desk. ;)

    May be I didn't know it because it couldn't find a route from there (USA/Europe) to here in my home in the southernmost point of India and got lost. :D;) xD:p and mingling must have with his bats and their sense of radar got it here to me. :p Now how does this story sound. Good ? xD:p


    Mistakes are painful when they happen
    but years later collection of mistakes are called experience
    which leads you to success.

    I got this as a SMS from my friend many years back when I started my practice as an advocate and didn't know several things. I was criticising myself for it and when I read this SMS, it struck me that without doing mistake you cannot become great or without being ignorant you cannot become experienced. Last year I was re-reading Great Expectations of Charles Dickens and I liked the Character, Joe. Dickens put such words of wisdom into his uneducated blacksmith character Joe. Just the expert from it, it made a great impression on me and I wish toshare it with you too :-

    " I have learnt next to nothing, Joe. You think much of me. It's only that."

    "Well, Pip," said Joe, "be it so or be it son't, you must be a common scholar afore you can be a oncommon one, I should hope! The king upon his throne, with his crown upon his ed, can't sit and write his acts of Parliament in print, without having begun, when he were a unpromoted Prince, with the alphabet.--Ah!" added Joe, with a shake of the head that was full of meaning, "and begun at A. too, and worked his way to Z. And I know what that is to do, though I can't say I've exactly done it."

    There was some hope in this piece of wisdom, and it rather encouraged me. "


    :) A good and nice way of putting it.xD
