Hi all,

I hope you are enjoying your holiday weekend. Please share what you have been up to so we can enjoy it with you.

If you are stuck working then remember to take a moment and be thankful.  Jobs are hard to find these days.

Have a good one!

Good morning all!

What a beautiful day it is.  Love Saturday mornings with the Farmer's Market, yummy hot scones, samplings and pupupas.  Soon, it will be turning chilly and it will be fireplace time.  Aaaaaah.

I am so happy to be here in VA again.  I hope that someday, soon, I can meet some of you.

Here is some information on two teleconferences you may want to consider listening to. Nice four days off.  Enjoy your holiday all.

Hi all,

How are you doing?  I am good.  Enjoying this fine cool morning.  We soon will be heading towards the cooler days of fall.  It is good to feel happy once and awhile.  I like it. 

Today is more work work and then work.  We are starting to gear up for our September promo and lots to do.

Let me think.  What can I do to get this board rocking?  Any suggestions?  Not that it's my responsibility or anything.  I just thought it would be fun.

Later all....

Hello all,

So far I have only gotten one response on the support group survery.  I will keep it up for a couple more weeks.  What I may do and I did last time was try to find a place in the library and hold it there.  The Wellness center is going to expect a good response and I know from past experience, this is not usually the case starting out.  As people get wind of the group, that is when it takes off.  I don't want to waste their time and effort if there is no interest.  In that case, I would go the library route.

Also I wanted to remind you that the virtual group is up and running under, Like Dust We Rise.  It's free to join.  Just type the group name in OH search window above and it should take you there.

Today, I am not working but I am going in anyway to get more files to input.  I am so enjoying doing this even though it is more typing than my hands like.  I am learning the members though.  I think that is important.

Have a great day all!
