Happy New Year…
With the holidays over, I typically ponder how well I will “winter” this
year? But in the few years that I have been privileged to come to
work at our center everyday, it does not matter which season it is
be-cause it is always pleasant here! There are such delightful “nuggets of
pleasantness” all around to distract the ills of the day! I see them in your
faces or words kindly spoken. I hear your friendships as you go about
your activities or volunteer duties. I see new members finding the center
and pleased with their discovery. Such a necessary distraction we have
going here! Left to our own worries and cares, life can sometimes be
troubling. But striving to be aware of the happy things around us can
de-tach us from some of those troubles and often in the process make a
positive difference in someone else’s day. Thank you for being the best
members ever and for caring enough to make that difference. If I could, I
would “toast” to that!

A GRATEFUL HEART
Everyday that we wake up healthy, we’re grateful. When the sun is shining, we
are grateful, and so on. Or at least we should be.
The following is from Woman’s World Magazine:
You are rich beyond measure, cash flow may vary, but life brings us a constant
stream of blessings, possibilities and opportunities. Every single sunrise gives us
something more precious than any jackpot: a brand new day, and the best things
in life are still free.
Have a wonderful New Year!
