TO SEE OURSELVES AS OTHERS SEE US.

   This is one of those unusual holidays generally

not observed here in the United States. It is

celebrated in certain areas of Europe and

certainly in Scotland! This "Robert Burns

Day" marking the birthday of that world know

Scotish poet Robert Burns. The title of today's

Blog recounts a noted line from one of his

verses which suggests it would be good to have

the gift of seeing ourselves as others see us.

In Scotland the day is celebrated with a big

feast similar to our Thanksgiving. Burns wrote

many poems all in a thick Scottish dialect when

recited as written. You probably don't know most

of them. But you should be familiar with at least

at least one. Chances are you sing it every New

Year's Eve. "Auld Lang Syne," A Robert Burns

poem set to music! Hope you have a great day

and that all your NEWS is good!
