Regrettably,
Keith Stewart of “Keith & Enid fame”, as well as boasting a stellar career as a
cabaret artist on the North Coast back in the 60s & 70s, has passed away. His velvet voice can
be well remembered as he captivated numerous audience at the famous
Yellow Bird club back in the 60s. He was also a good amateur tennis player.
May his soul R. I. P.

A sign in a pet store read, “If anybody has seen the Bluebird of
Happiness, would you please notify this pet store?”
..
Happiness seems to be in short supply for many people. If the
results of recent surveys can be trusted, there is a general decline
of happiness in today’s world. And people were not all that
cheerful a few years back! It was Oliver Wendell Holmes who stated,
“I might have been a minister for aught I know, if a certain
clergyman had not looked and talked like an undertaker.” (I have to
say, though, that some clergy and undertakers I’ve known could teach
the rest of us something about joy.)
..
Joy and happiness are not always the same things. Happiness can be
thought of as more of a temporary, emotional condition, often based
on outside circumstances. Joy, on the other hand, is deeper. It is
often contentment in spite of the unsettling present. We can be
basically joyful, regardless of a particular unhappy situation that
we may be enduring. It is sometimes just a matter of keeping
perspective on our troubles, and especially when those troubles
seem to be in long supply.
You may know the story of the man who had a marvelous way of keeping

Albert Einstein said that wonder is the source of all true art and all
science. “He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer
pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes
are closed.”I remember standing in rapt awe when I gazed upon the wonders of the
ancient Incan city of Machu Picchu in Peru. That amazing city was
built above the clouds, and it was more than the high altitude that
took my breath away. Can you say, “Awe”? I’m reminded of the little girl who rode a train with her mother. Read More
