Our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this planet.
We all breathe the same air.
We all cherish our children's future.
And we are all mortal.
- John F. Kennedy

Still working on computer issues but hopefully will start the process of a good resolve today.

Count your blessings.

Once you realize how valuable you are

and how much you have going for you,

the smiles will return, the sun will break out,

the music will play, and you will finally

be able to move forward the life that God intended

for you with grace, strength, courage, and confidence.

- Og Mandino

"A positive attitude may not solve all your
problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort."



-- Herm Albright

The problem, often not discovered until late in life, is that when you look for tings in life like love, meaning, motivation, it implies they are sitting behind a tree or under a rock.  The most successful people in life recognize, that in life they create their own love, they manufacture their own meaning, they generate their own motivation.  For me, I am driven by two main philosophies:  know more about the world today than I did yesterday, and lessen the suffering of others.  You'd be surprised how far that get you.

Neil deGrasse Tyson

Hi Ladies,

My thoughts and prayers are with you for strength, healing and good health.

I just wanted to ask if any of you have any experience with the Breast Health Center at Central DuPage Hospital in Winfield? I had my first mammogram (twice this week) and a ultrasound. I have to go back in a few months for another US. Just wanted to know anyones thoughts and good/bad experiences.

Thank you

Thank you, ChiSandy! I did not know that they were affiliated. That's good news, thank you again

To honor and respect means to think of the land and water and plants and animals who live here as having a right equal to our own to be here. We are not the supreme and all-knowing beings, living at the top of the pinnacle of evolution, but in fact we are members of the sacred hoop of life, along with the trees and rocks, the coyotes and the eagles and fish and toads, that each fulfills its purpose. They each perform their given task in the sacred hoop, and we have one, too. - Wolf Song

The really important kind of freedom involves attention, and awareness, and discipline, and effort, and being able truly to care about other people and to sacrifice for them, over and over, in myriad petty little unsexy ways, every day.

David Foster Wallace

"Hope arouses, as nothing else can arouse, a passion for the possible."

– William Sloan Coffin, Jr.

There are no guarantees.
From the viewpoint of fear, none are strong enough.
From the viewpoint of love, none are necessary.
- Emmanuel (Pat Rodegast)

That's what we're here for:to make the world new.We know what to do:seek justice, love mercy, walk humbly, treat every person as if he or she were yourself.These are not complicated instructions.It's much harder to decipher the instructions for putting together a tricycle than it is to understand these. - Nancy Mairs

The truth is, your attitude and mine are always our choice. No matter how bad things are, no one can force you to have a bad attitude if you don't want to, and no matter how good things are, no one can force you to have a good attitude if you don't want to. Now that should come as really good news because it says our attitudes don't have to be the victims of our circumstances or of other people. We choose our responses.
