What? My lilies were too lily-livered to come out when they were supposed to, but here they are. Still, lovely. Better late than never! Never quit tryin’! Don’t be afraid! Absorb th...e sun of hope and the water of humor…and bloom! Beauty is still in the eye of The Beholder! The Lily of the valley! Don’t be a bloomin’ lily-liver. Be a bloomin’ lily! Oh! And, the word "lily-livered" started years ago. It was thought health and temperament were the products of a balance or imbalance of four bodily fluids, or humors: blood, phlegm, black bile, and yellow bile. It was believed that a deficiency of yellow bile, or choler, the humor that governed anger, spirit, and courage, would leave a person’s liver colorless or white. Someone with this deficiency, and so white-livered, would be spiritless and a coward. Love it. It all depends on the humors! Humorous, huh? Bloomin’ right, it is!! Hope you have a bloomin’ humorous day. Stop by some of my other Shootin The “Bull”etin Board stories here and at my blog. A book idea. Trace
