A sense of humor doesn't mean
the ability to tell jokes
or make wisecracks.
It's a sense of proportion
and the courage to smile.
It's the ability to take yourself
and your problems with a grain of salt,
the ability to smile at yourself
and the world as well.
John Luther
GOOD MORNING !
I’m off early today to join some of my family at the Central Ohio Stroll for Epilepsy that we’ve been doing once a year in honor of ‘Our Sweetheart’. This event is to aide people suffering from Epilepsy.
We’ve all taken pledges from friends and family and money is donated to the Epilepsy Foundation. Our walk (stroll) that we are doing is just a formality showing our support.
One family had 150 people in their group last year. Our team won’t be that large, but it seems to grow a little every year as more and more people join us. It is very heart warming to see all the people who donate their time and money for this cause.
I’ll be taking some pictures which I hope to show you later this weekend.
My little granddaughter is handicapped but the amazing strength and devotion of DS#1 and his wife has helped to make her life as normal as possible.
There is never a time when she doesn’t join in at whatever we are doing and as I’ve said before, the SMILE on her face is worth any effort put forth.
I’ve got another long drive ahead today as do some of my other children that will be joining us. Please pray for safe journeys for us all. It is wonderful being able to get together and show our support, it is just too bad we are all so far away.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Give this day a real, honest purpose that truly means something to you. And you'll build value that continues long after the day is over.
Ralph Marston
May your day be blessed with a few SMILES and lots of SUNSHINE to warm your heart !
