My late-husband's sister told me a joke earlier today which I found amusing:

A pastor stood before his congregation, delivering the weekly sermon. The theme was the subject of alcohol and the evils of overindulgence. The minister said, "If I had my way, I'd take all the beer in the world and throw it in the river!" He continued, "If I had my way, I'd take all the wine in the world and throw it in the river! If I had my way, I'd take all the whiskey in the world and throw it in the river!"

He finally finished his sermon and called upon the Choir Director to lead everyone in a closing song. The Choir Director hesitated for a moment, sheepishly stood and said, "Please join us for the closing hymn, 'Shall We Gather at the River.'"

The point of my sharing this story today, besides [hopefully] spreading a chuckle or two, is to illustrate how things can easily go awry if we don't communicate with others while making plans. We often become entangled in our own little worlds and don't think about how our plans and actions can impact others. Communication and forethought should be practiced, or unexpected results can happen otherwise!

More information about #thoughtfuldailypost which was started by @wesphilbin can be read in the initial post about it (linked below), and everyone is invited to come on-board with an inspirational story, quote, or image which can uplift others and spread positivity on the blockchain:

Did you hear about the major fire at Jim Beam?

The whiskey ended up in the river, nearby
they ended up getting fined for the toxic affects of Jim Beam on the river eco system

@thekittygirl,

That's pretty good lol... I remember growing up, being raised Southern Baptist, and all the stories of Brother So and So worshipping Sunday, then being found at the local tavern... anyway... :)

This is yet, another perfect example of my #thoughtfuldailypost initiative. This is a wonderful explanation:

We often become entangled in our own little worlds and don't think about how our plans and actions can impact others. Communication and forethought should be practiced, or unexpected results can happen otherwise!

It's like that old saying, "The best of intentions, can have the worst of results". Realizing it takes ALL of us, working together... all creating our own little pools of positive energy... think of the impact... all of us being thoughtful about each other. Communicating our intent, to make a better environment... a blockchain capable of anything, we put OUR minds to!!

Thank you for your continued support and your friendship. I believe this #thoughtfuldailypost is perhaps... starting to make a difference...

Love and light to you my friend...

Cheers! Great joke and even greater post.

Ha! What an interesting name on that can! 😂

Isn't that a great name for a beer! And it is a very good beer.

Thanks for the laugh and the message that communication goes a long way in preventing little mixups (though the results can bring some memorable moments). 😁

Hehehe, nice one.
I will have to do one of these #daileythoughtfullpost's
