Contact an old friend

Receiving a few kind words from an old friend is a joy beyond measure.

Be the person who reaches out and gives that joy.

There is a friend in your past you really identified with, but your lives just took you in different directions. Reach out to that person. Send a card. Or phone. Just say hello and ask how him or her how life is these days.

It only works for the truly sincere and unselfish.

A new baby; and, childhood literacy

Welcome to the new baby in our family!
May he enjoy good health and much happiness
in his lifetime.

Just think of all the wonderful books and nursery rhymes you can
read to a child!

Please read to your child every day. It is never too early to start.
Even looking at pictures and talking about what you see is a great
start for a really young child.

And when your child can read alone, by all means let him/her.
But please also continue to read aloud with your child.

There is an added bonus: you will get just as much joy as your
child.
