I am thankful to have loving family and friends who
are a treasure to be around. They hold dear the same
values we do: Freedom, hard work, personal responsibility,
civilized behavior, honesty, respect for the rule of law,
appreciation for life in the United States of America,
a belief in our lord Jesus Christ. Charity for those who
are in need.
We cannot choose our family, but we can choose our friends!
We can also choose our own behavior.
If you have been blessed with good health, you can do anything
you choose if you are willing to work for it. If you have good
health, you have hope.
Money appears to be the solution to all problems, but it
is not. If you do not treat yourself and others with dignity and
respect you will always have a void that you are trying to fill.
You cannot buy true friendship. When the money is gone,
those “friends” will be gone. Your true friends will be with you
in hard times as well as the good times. You have to be a
friend to have a friend.
If you have the love and respect of family and friends, you are
blessed. Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Election Day Today
Today is election day in the USA.
Voting is a privilege as well as a freedom
that you should not take for granted.
Vote for the person you view as the most honest.
The only solution to bad government is to
elect honorable, civilized, law abiding citizens.
An honorable person will not lie, cheat or steal
even when the opportunity presents itself. It is
the only way democracy works at its best.
We each can contribute to the strength of our
country by doing out part to be an honorable,
civilized, law abiding citizen and to teach
these values to our children.
When people cannot be trusted, no system will work.
Honorable, civilized, law abiding citizens know
how to work together for the good of all. It does
not matter which party they belong to. Diplomats
are noted for their good manners and the ability
to work together with people who do not share their
same views.
Vote today, November 8, 2011, and then plan to celebrate
Law Abiding Citizens Day (L.A.C. Day) this coming April 15, 2012

Uncontrollable Anger?
Are you always yelling and screaming at family members?
The reason is because you feel they do not respect you.
Keep in mind, yelling does not beget the respect you want and need.
The solution is to give yourself permission to not
yell. You are giving yourself permission to yell;
therefore, you can just as easily give yourself permission
to not yell and you will then feel more in control. You can
do this. It is surprisingly easier than you may think.
Disregard what others are doing, and concentrate on your own
behavior and not yelling.
By not yelling at them, family members will then begin to feel you
are treating them with respect and will begin to show you
the same respect. It is called civilized behavior. Even small
children recognize when they are not being treated with respect.
The behavior they learn, they learn from their parents.
It takes practice to not yell. You can spend thousands of dollars
on therapy to find out why you yell. I can tell you it is because
you feel you are not getting the respect you need. It is our common
bond, we all want to be treated with respect.
