“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”

Let’s begin with some trivia relevant to January, which is coming to an end. I’m ready to see this month go – how about you?

Monday, Jan. 30th is Bubble Wrap Day! Don’t you just love these unnecessary holidays? Who comes up with these ideas, anyway? Probably “they” – you know what I mean because we don’t know so we pin the blame on “they” for lack of a known entity.

Bubble wrap is used for protecting delicate items while in the process of being shipped. Now it’s touted for other uses, for example, a toy or a stress reliever. And here’s an interesting fact about Bubble Wrap…

Each year Bubble Wrap hosts a ‘Young Inventor’ award that encourages them to find ways to use Bubble Wrap outside of packaging. Whether you need a Bubble Wrap door cover to help you keep out the dings, or a Bubble Wrap cushy wheelchair to ensure your loved ones are safe from every danger, these young inventors work every year to try to create the newest Bubble Wrap rage.

The world isn’t a gift, you know

All tied up with a pretty bow

With how-tos on what to sow

Unfolding what we may reap

The unknown can make us weep

Sweeping ideas under the rug

Creativity forbade by the smug

A colorless world it would be

If not shared by you and me

Encasing the world in bubble wrap

Blurs the task for this and that

Our realization of imperfection

Will fuel throes of a revelation

By the way, the earth isn’t flat
