So go forth, explore, nominate, disobey, decide, become, appreciate, see the beauty in simplicity, celebrate birth and understand that all we have is today.

Today I'm watching 84 women receive their high school and ESL certificates. What an achievement especially with children and jobs. That's worth celebrating!

Great trip down memory Lane! Today I celebrate the wonderful members and guests at our NY Health and Longevity luncheon and later, the privilege of seeing Tennessee Williams never-before-performed one act plays. Wonders surround us everywhere.

I love how much I learn from these blogs, and how much I am reminded of, so, once again, thank you! Actually I am grateful for news I received that helped make today begin quite nicely. If we all work at it perhaps we can help move towards a future of nicer days--- thank you Cayce for reminding us there are more than negatives out there.
