Even during October nature still radiates colour and energy. This Monbritia flower stands out in some beautiful sunshine that we have been enjoying recently across Ireland.

The 95 year old woman at the nursing home received a visit from one of her fellow church members. “How are you feeling?” the visitor asked. “Oh” said the lady, “I’m just worried sick!” “What are you worried about dear?” her friend asked. “You look like you’re in good health.” They are taking great of you aren’t they?” “Yes, they are taking very good care of me,” came the answer. “Are you in any pain,” she asked. “No, I have never had a pain in my life.” “Well what are you worried about?” her friend asked again. The lady leaned back in her rocking chair and slowly explained her major worry. “Every close friend I ever had has already died and gone to heaven. I’m afraid they’re all wondering where I went!”
