The heart is unique. Unlike strong hands which grow calloused from their work, a strong heart only grows softer and more loving.

The Photo Album
Your memories, especially those that are full of emotion, become like a photo album- you see it every day on the coffee table and it evokes a quick flash memory then it’s out of your conscious thought for the day. But some days you just simply can’t walk past it. You stop and pick it up. You sit down and gently open the cover. Your past is there staring back at you as you scan…

Leaders
I would like to thank Dr. Wayne Norton for this guest thought of the day. Though this appears to be a simple concept, it is one that many people seem to struggle with.

A Very Special Man
I wanted to take a few minutes to thank you for a very special gift that and only you could have given me. I’m not sure that you recall the story of my dad’s brother Wally, and the fact that he was killed in WWII. But it was a story that each of us kids learned more from overhearing grownups talking than from a discussing with Dad. In time, as we each reached an…

Choose to Fill Your Glass
Science promises us that every glass is full, but life is all about what you choose to put in your glass. Will you be inattentive and just let your glass remain full of air, a colorless odorless gas? Or will you spend your journey filling your glass with rich, colorful memories brimming with emotions and lessons which can only be acquired by living each day to its fullest? Will you learn to search for…
