“Count Your Blessings”.
Count your blessings one by one, When dawn appears and day has just begun. They will light your heart with happiness, Make each hour bright and bring you gladness.
Count your blessings one by one, When twilight falls and toil of day is done, And in sweet dreams they’ll come again to you, If you will count your blessings each day through.
Count your blessings while you may, For we are here but little time to stay. All around are hearts sincere and true, Lovely things abound just waiting for you.
Count your blessings while you may, The big or small, whichever comes your way. For then you’ll find this world a place of love, If you will count your blessings from above.
Lyrics: American singer, songwriter, actress, philanthropist, and businesswoman Dolly Parton. Vocals: The late American country singer Charley Pride(1934-2020) and the aforementioned Dolly Parton.
God’s Coloring Book.
Today as I was walking, In the fields just down the way. I sat down on a fallen log, To pass the time away, And as I looked around me, The more that I did look, The more I realize that I was viewing, God’s coloring book. I saw a golden ray of sunlight, A silver drop of dew, A soft, white floating cloud, Sailing cross the sky of blue, A yellow dandelion, A pretty evergreen, And some red and orange flowers, Growing wild along the stream, And the more I look around me, And the more that I do look, The more I realize that I was viewing, God’s coloring book. The greyness in an old man’s hair, The pink in baby’s cheeks, The blackness in a stormy sky, The brown in fallen leaves, And the multicolored rainbow, Stretched across the sky, And the purple haze at sunset, Just before the night. And the more I look around me, The more that I do look, The more I realize that I am viewing, God’s coloring book. Then I turn my face toward the sky, And say a silent prayer. And though God doesn’t speak to me, I see him everywhere, He is all around me. He’s everywhere I look, And each new day is but a new page, In God’s coloring book. Yes, each new day is but a new page In God’s coloring book.

Everybody Hurts.
When the day is long, And the night, and the night is yours alone. When you’re sure you’ve had enough, Of this life, hang on, Don’t let yourself go, ‘Cause everybody cries, everybody hurts, sometimes. Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it’s time to sing along, When your day is night alone. When you feel like letting go. When you think you’ve had too much of this life, Hang on. Everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends. Everybody hurts. Don’t throw away your hand, Don’t throw away your hand, If you feel like you’re alone, No, no, no, you’re not alone. If you’re on your own, In this life, the days and nights are long. When you think you’ve had too much, Of this life to hang on. Well, everybody hurts sometimes, Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes. Hold on, hold on Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Everybody hurts, Sometimes everybody hurts, Everybody cries.

He Would Know.
In my mind I’ve made love to you often, But only in my mind can it be so. ‘Cause there’s someone at home that’s countin’ on me, And if I did, I’m sure that he would know.
Chorus Yes, he would know, yes, he could tell, For he has loved me long enough to know me very well, And if I lied, he’d see it in my eyes. I know my guilt would show and he would know.
But I must admit you’re someone very special, And it would be so easy to let go. Making love to you could be so easy, But if I did, I’m sure that he would know.
Repeat Chorus
My conscience just won’t let me make love to you, I know it would be sweet, but I just can’t. When I go home to him, I must be able, To look him in the eyes and say I ain’t.
The following reply was received from Tipperary Co. Council, following a formal complaint having been made by this website, last Thursday. The complaint referred to the pollution of the River Suir over the past 12 years.
The Reply Reads:- Dear George, Thank you for your e-mail regarding Pollution of River Suir in Thurles. I have forwarded your e-mail to Environment Section for their attention and direct reply to you. Should you wish to follow up on this case, please contact Customer Service Desk quoting reference number ENV-11308-F6L3.
The formal complaint was sent to Tipperary Co. Council, when this website received confirmation that Tipperary Co. Council and Local Authority Waters Programme (LAWPRO), and the Office of Public Works would object to local volunteers attempting to improve the general appearance of the area. Work would have involved the removal of discarded clothing; bottles; cans; weeds; plastic bollards, wooden pallets, rushes, bags of sand and a mountain of sediment, currently clogging the area from Barry’s Bridge to the area south of the Swinging Gates, same a poorly lit spot where persons gather regularly to partake in alcohol consumption.
WE have also formally complained to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)info@epa.ie, asking the question; “Does the EPA have any real teeth or are they like LAWPRO, latter simply passing information, same to land on other departmental desks, where seated are people who refuse to be motivated? The EPA were also asked if they held the power to prosecute local authorities?
We now await a reply from the EPA, which we will publish here, in full, on receipt of same.

Pass It On Down.
We live in the land of plenty, But many things aren’t plenty any-more, Like the water from our sink, They say it’s not safe to drink, You gotta go and buy it at the store. Now we’re told there’s a hole in the Ozone, Look what’s washing on the beach, And Lord, I believe, from the heavens to the seas, We’re bringing Mother Nature to her knees.
Chorus. So let’s leave some blue up above us, Let’s leave some green on the ground, It’s only ours to borrow, then save some for tomorrow, Leave it and pass it on down.
Well, there’s a change taking place way on the mountains, Acid rain is falling on the leaves, And down in Brazil, the fires are burning still, How we gonna breathe without them trees?
RepeatChorus.
Well, there’s a place where I live called the Canyon (Canyon), Where Daddy taught me to swim, And that water, it’s so pure, And I’m a gonna make sure, Daddy’s grandkids can swim there like him. Now we all outta feel just a little bit guilty, When we look into the eyes of our kids, ‘Cause, brothers, it’s a fact, if we take and don’t put back, They’ll have to pay for all we did.
