Oh, C’mon People, Please “Ask Away”🤓

C’mon everyone! There has to be something you’d like to ask or want to know!

I know most of us usually don’t ask complete strangers trivial things but I love trial things and in the sidebar on this website there’s a little bio of me so I’m not a stranger anymore. Now I’m an acquaintance so feel free to ask away!

Think of me like Jill the Encyclopedia! I know Wikipedia has things pretty much covered but in this age of technology, I wanted to try something different. I want to engage with you. And I thought the best way was through asking questions. Now I know I said it can be trivial (which it absolutely can) but you can also ask questions about me! I am going to try to get the ball rolling here. I’m going to ask you a question. Don’t worry, I promise it won’t be hard. And then if you feel like answering, leave the answer in a comment. If you answer the question, please ask me something. Then we have a dialogue started and let’s see where this post goes! Who knows the skies the limit!

 

Okay here’s your question:

Define happiness. What is true happiness to you? And how often do you experience your kind of happiness?

 

I will answer this question too, but I have it in prose form which I’ll publish in the comment section once I’ve read your answers.

 

I really appreciate any time you take to answer the question or ask me one! Thank You for reading my posts and for being loyal supporters! Make it a Great Day!

 

All My Best,

Jill

Too be honest…I love Upcycling!

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00U6CQPBK

Upcycling can be fun, and it is a wonderful way to let your creative side loose. With upcycling, you take an item that is old and worn or not being used. You can then make it into something that you do use or that you share with someone else.
As you explore the art of upcycling, you will be very excited about all it offers. Since there are no limits to the materials you can use or what you can create, it is interesting to see what you can come up with. The only limits will be those that you set for yourself!

This is the ebook edition and the paperback is out March 10th!

Thanks you to all my friends, family, and to you reading this post for all your enthusiasm and support!

To be honest…I love the words to the Star-Spangled Banner (All of them)

The Forgotten Verses of“The Star-Spangled Banner”

In 1814, the poet and lyricist Francis Scott Key penned the lyrics to “The Star-Spangled Banner,” originally known as “Defense of Fort M’Henry.” During the War of 1812, Key witnessed the burning of Washington and wrote the words based on his experiences this night. These lyrics were printed in local newspapers and set to the tune of an existing song called “Anacreon in Heaven,” and then officially arranged by John Philip Sousa. Key’s famous lyrics entered the world as a broadside ballad, or a song written on a topical subject, and printed for wide distribution.

More than a century later, in 1916, President Woodrow Wilson signed an executive order designating “The Star-Spangled Banner” as the national anthem, and in 1931, the US Congress confirmed the decision. The tune has kicked off ceremonies of national importance and athletic events ever since.

While the first verse of “The Star-Spangled Banner” is widely known by the American public, the last three verses are generally omitted in performances. Here are all the four versers, as they were written 200 years ago by Key:

O say can you see, by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hail’d at the twilight’s last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight
O’er the ramparts we watch’d were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there,
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep
Where the foe’s haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o’er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream,
’Tis the star-spangled banner—O long may it wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore,
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion
A home and a Country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wash’d out their foul footstep’s pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave,
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

O thus be it ever when freemen shall stand
Between their lov’d home and the war’s desolation!
Blest with vict’ry and peace may the heav’n rescued land
Praise the power that hath made and preserv’d us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto – “In God is our trust,”
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
