A holiday...

gives one a chance to look backward and forward, to reset oneself by an inner compass.

Initiative..

Initiative is indespensible for first rate performances.
You receive recognition..mainly through initiative...

Just do it - part 2

If you don’t go when you want to go, when you do go, you’ll find you’ve gone.

"There is a story in the Talmud about a king who had a son who went astray. The son was told, 'Return to your father.' The son replied that he could not. The king then sent a messenger to the son with the message...'Come back to me as far as you can, and I will meet you the rest of the way.'"

Ah parents...

Just Do It!

Novelist Sinclair Lewis was supposed to deliver an hour-long lecture to a group of college students who planned to be writers. Lewis opened his talk with a question: "How many of you really intend to be writers?" All hands went up. "In that case," said Lewis, "my advice to you is to go home and write."

With that, he left.

Life is full of surprises..

Some good..some bad..
Take everything in your stride...

Expression of gratitude...

For the rise and set of the sun each day, I am thankful.

For the home where the heart of my family resides, I am thankful.

For the enduring devotion of steadfast friendships, I am thankful.

For the pleasure of unrestricted laughter and silly moments, I am thankful.

For the numerous shoulders that share the weight of my sorrows, I am thankful.

For all I have and all I am able to give, I am thankful.

I am thankful...
