• TWO MOVES THAT CAN BRIGHTEN YOUR DAY…

    How many of you said, “THANK YOU” this morning, for getting up, having the strength to walk around, and carrying on with the day?  I did; actually I do that every day.  Not trying to preach here, I just know how to accept that I can still do that.  Some people can’t.  A person that I really don’t know, but she came from my home town, Peoria, Illinois; she went on that cruise, recently, that a fire broke out, and everything stopped.  Time, destinations, and hope.  Took several days for the cruise to come to port.  This person that I am talking about, had to be helicoptered out, thought she…
