I WAS THINKING…
about 9/11, as were most people. Nineteen years ago, seems so long ago, yet some of those same feelings came alive. I remember feeling guilty because I was safe and they weren’t. I felt helpless because I saw anguish, but there was nothing I could do. I felt gratitude for fire fighters and first responders. I felt grief for people I didn’t know. As devastating as it was, our country stood together. It wasn’t about politics or race. It was about the loss of our fellow Americans. Our country mourned together. It felt good to be “One Nation Under God” at such a problematic time.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
“Nothing is miserable unless you think it so; and on the other hand, nothing brings happiness unless you are content with it.”
( Boethius, The Consolation of Philosophy)
YOU KNOW YOU’RE GETTING OLD WHEN…
You still feel young on the inside, but it doesn’t show on the outside.
You’ve done it all, heard it all, but just can’t remember it all.
ON THE LIGHTER SIDE
3 Stages of Life
Teen Age: Have Time + Energy…But No Money.
Working Age: Have Money + Energy…But No Time.
Old Age: Have Time+ Money…But No Energy.
BRIGHT SIDE OF GETTING OLD
You don’t have to be concerned about dying young.
There’s not as much peer pressure.

Use reflection tape on the end of outside steps to make them easy to see. Or you can use white paint.
Make use of lighting systems designed to minimize shadowy corners. Motion-sensitive lighting along corridors and around corners allows you to see where you’re going at any hour of the day or night.
