Welcome to another beautiful day in the neighborhood. It’s beautiful because you’re my neighbor and you’re part of it.

On this Memorial Day it is good to not only remember those who died in service but all those who touched our lives. I remember hearing about my dad’s youngest brother. He was killed in WWII; I remember my mom & dad and my wife Barb and all they gave me and did for me. What will people remember about me? What will people remember about you?

Over the phone, his mother told him, “Mr. Belser died last night. The funeral is Wednesday.” Memories flashed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days.

“Jack, did you hear me?”

“Oh, sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. It’s been so long since I thought of him. I’m sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago,” Jack said..

October 14th is Indigenous Peoples Day! A day to remember and honor the wisdom and gifts that the Indigenous People/Native Americans have given us. They especially showed us how to respect all life, including Mother Earth. They deserve a good life, equal opportunities and our respect and gratitude. There are many ways to help and support them. check out: the Northern Plains Reservation Aid at NPRAprogram.org (for the elderly) and St. Labre Indian School at stlabre.org (for the children). These are just two examples of how you can help.
Here is a bit of Native American wisdom:
“We all come from the same root, but the leaves are all different.”

Good Morning Everyone! Welcome to another beautiful day in the neighborhood. It’s beautiful because you’re my neighbor and you’re part of it.

It’s a new day, a new week. Tomorrow starts a new month. We are entering a season of change. All of nature will be changing. Animal’s coats and furs will be thickening so they can be warm; trees will begin to drop their leaves leading to their dormant stage, etc. These changes come about smoothly. This is life, ever evolving, ever moving forward. It’s a never ending process and it is beautiful. We love the changing colors, the cooler temperatures, the wonderful sights, smells and tastes of autumn.

Welcome to another beautiful day in the neighborhood. It’s beautiful because you’re my neighbor and you’re part of it.
