THINGS TO CONSIDER TODAY - A column by Leland Pulley that looks at issues and concerns in the lives of people and provides insights to help address them. Make Each Day Count Most goals in life are not accomplished in a day, week, or month. Many things are accomplished over an extended period of time. Achievement is measured in steps or degrees of improvement. It often shows up in better quality or more quantity. Whatever you want to do or accomplish, you will eventually learn that consistent daily effort and progress will pay you great dividends in the long run. click here for rest of article Moving Beyond Disappointments And Failure Over the years any adult will have some disappointments and experience failure to various degrees in activities, endeavors, and relationships. And the older this adult becomes, the more real and meaningful this statement becomes in his life. I now have a few decades of adulthood behind me, and with this has come increased
perspective. In looking back I can certainly see mistakes and wrong decisions. I wished I
would have done certain things instead of other things. I wonder how much I could have
achieved compared to what I did achieve. But my track record is absolute. It bears witness for
and against me. The only thing I can do at this point is learn from the past and strive to do better
in the present . Hopefully in the future I will look back on today and be happy with what I see.

Several years ago I was worried about the moss that was growing on an oak tree in our yard. I took a sample of the moss to our local nursery, and was told not to worry about the moss. The nurseryman told me that the relationship between the moss and the tree was a benign symbiotic one. Basically neither species was being harmed by the other. Based upon this information, I left the moss on the tree, and noted that they did exist one with the other without any outward damage. click here for rest of article Guest Article by Sarah Gentili Take The Time To Remember Veterans Memorial Day has become associated with many things in our society. Sadly, most of us associate this holiday with four day weekends and great shopping. Very few of us take the time to appreciate what this special holiday is all about, remembering those who have died in war to protect our freedom. Their sacrifice gives us the freedom to enjoy that long weekend or take advantage of all those good sales. Like everything else, the real meaning of this holiday has gotten lost in the reality of our daily lives. Cemetery Visit To Honor Fallen Soldiers (by Justina Gentili , age 12) When you hear Memorial Day, most people think of four day weekends and no school. I thought just that until I heard at my church, that we youth were going to a cemetery to put flags on Veterans’ graves. To me, that was not my idea of fun. The whole week, I thought about how the cemetery activity wouldn’t help me learn anything. I was clueless on the meaning of Memorial Day. I didn’t understand it enough, nor truly appreciate it. click here for rest of article
