I saw this saying for the first time many years ago.  I say it to myself frequently to remind myself of what is really important in life.

Have you ever wondered about this yourself?

Today we pause to honor those who are serving, who have served, and those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.  We owe you our freedom, our gratitude and our respect.  We give you our love.

Parenthood - a rich, rewarding, wild, frustrating, scary, wonderful experience.  I've learned a lot from mine.  I ran across this quote recently and it make me chuckle.

3 Simple Rules in Life......................

Today's thought is about the choices we make in life.

Everybody who has kids talks about how hard it is to be a parent. I have a teenage son and I will admit that it is challenging at times, but I think I have stumbled onto the solution while reading my mail.  I found this in a catalog and since then I have seen it several other places.  I have no idea who the original author is, but I wanted to share his/her wisdom with you.

Today's thought is about money and life.

Every so often, we all need to take a break and contemplate things  -  the world, life, our families, etc.  My Thought for the Day columns are meant to do just that - to make us think.  They will be short and sweet; sometimes they will be philosophical, sometimes they will be humorous.  Whatever strikes my fancy.  Just a blip in the middle of your day.
