An Inspiring Tale

Here’s an inspiring story about a father-son team who are amazing.  I especially like the line, “You have the ability to do something special and its up to you to make that become a reality," Now, that’s something to think about!

Have a good weekend, everyone.

A Special Letter

Posted this week is a special letter, written by the sister of an Apple Computer employee.  I was so very impressed by this that I decided to use this as this week’s blog.  It shows that with a little compassion and understanding, a person can go far in this life.  Kudos to Apple!

P.S.  I won’t be posting next week because I’ll be off on an early spring jaunt.   I’ll be back the next week, though, ready to continue on this Journey of Hope.

Knowledge

Hey All,

I’m back from my foray to upstate New York, and what fun it was!  I’m glad to be back home, though, enjoying the last of the summer days. 

I was away for over two weeks at a Mennonite home, and I must admit, I came home with an entirely new perspective on life itself.  It’s not the daily things that are important—it’s the connections we make on a deeper, human level that count the most.  When everything is said and done, it is what we will remember all the rest of our lives.  I wanted to share my newly found wisdom with you today.

Have a great weekend, all!

A Quote from the Past

Here is a quote from one of my most favorite women in history.  It reminds me that the passage of time does not change our human feelings and our connection to each other.

“You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ . . . You must do the thing you think you cannot do.”
-Eleanor Roosevelt

Have a good weekend, everyone!
