Serendipity

I'd like to let everyone know that Sabrina Leavens has been found alive and well. I know little else other than she said on her FB page that she just needed some time to herself. Thank you all!  I normally don't do this but I have known this young lady a long time and she's a long time friend to my son, Shawn (Campbell). She is a wife and mother... Please share far and wide...she's been missing for too long.  Thank you!

I was reading something earlier today that prompted me to write this little piece...the questioned posed was: What do you want to be remembered for?   I had never thought about that before...have you? After spending a fair share of the day pondering that question, here is my answer:  I would want to be remembered for: <> Being a good mom, despite my failings. I am not perfect, but I know that I did the best I could. <> Being the best friend that I could be.. . always being there when my friends need me, mentally and emotionally.     <> Being compassionate, understanding, forgiving, and gentle spirited.   <> Having touched peoples lives in a positive way...leaving with them a part of me that somehow made their lives different....bearable.   <> Being a good writer, someone who expressed their thoughts, feelings and beliefs in a way that others could understand and perhaps agree with.   <> Alwa...

He may be a skilled gardener, mechanic, roofer, brick layer, builder...the list goes on and on. He provides for us a service that is needed at a lesser cost, without leaving us with shoddy work and a huge dent in our checking accounts. Or that's what we initially think and hope. When you open your door to him, what is the first thing that you notice? In my experience, it's not only an air of professional quality, but also a personality that breaks through the ice and if he should try to sell you the Golden Gate Bridge...well, you'd be might interested! This is, maybe, where we make our mistakes. This man, who you've welcomed into your home, told him what you need done.....
