Current events have caused a great deal of concern and uncertainty across our country.  The airwaves are swollen with yea and nay sayers,  pitching their opinions in octaves high and low.  With two wars and the financial debacle, even the steeliest nerves get rattled.  We cannot  let the uncertainty of our times rule the day, freezing us in our tracks; it is time for action! Let yourself be gratified.  Life gives us many tasks that are MUSTS, so take care of those first, and quickly. Keep things simple and forward moving.   Put the things that you like to do least at the top of the list, dispatch them with haste and feel great about it.  Tidy up the house,  file those papers away and move on.

Success is the ticket!

Let yourself be relied upon.  Offer a couple of hours per week to others.  We are told that "getting out of ourselves" by helping others can bring great rewards, and I agree.  Our community offers myriad opportunities to keep things moving In a positive direction.  Helping at The Village Store on behalf of  the EmilyAnn, for example, generates real dollars to the heart of our community.  Sign up, suit up and show up.   Just do it - every little bit really does help.

Let yourself go for a dream with gusto! I am watching for the sun to show me the perfect spot for a kitchen garden- a small plot on which to build  small raised gardens (and I mean a few feet off of the ground) that I can fence against the deer.  I have been thinking about this for a couple of years, but somehow right now seems perfect. A little victory garden, something doable, and I do LOVE having fresh herbs and vegetables at my fingertips.    What would make your heart sing- just do it - we'll all be glad we did!
