About our Sponsors...

I come to the SSA column  more often than anyone, and for many reasons. The most obvious is that I write the column. Anoother reason that I visit frequently is to view and try out our sponsors. The program we use for ads is Google. While I am not a fan of advertising per se, I have come to realize that I simply could not afford to spponsor this website myself. Given that it was ncessary to use advertising, I am relying on Google to have good ads to my readers. So of course I click often and visit the sponsors. What I have found, much to my own surprise, that there are services and products that I have found and used here on the SSA site. I do keep an eye out, but if there are ads that you find disturbing, please let me know. At the moment, only ads for tobacco products are blocked, and I am not seeing a problem there.

SO....Given all that, do click on a sponsor ad. Internet services, and marketing on the internet is the newest success and the way of the future.  Some great information and products are out there for YOU...

All Good Thoughts

Always do right!  This will gratify some people and astonish the rest.

A "NO" uttered from deepest conviction is better and greater than a "YES" merely uttered to please, or what is worse, to avoid trouble.

Nothing is worth more than this day.

'Age' is the acceptance of a term of years. But maturity is the glory of years.

Inspirational Reading by Steve Goodier

LIVE IT!

Editor, diplomat and poet James Russell Lowell had a wonderful
attitude. One day, when passing a building in the outskirts of Boston,
he noticed an identifying inscription: "Home for Incurable Children."
To a friend he remarked, "They'll get me in there some day."

If he means that he'll never be cured of an overriding enthusiasm for
living, then I also hope they'll get me into a place like that some
day. I never want to outgrow my zeal for life. I never want to become
so jaded as to take living for granted.

Whoever compiled this list knew how to live with enthusiasm! Here's
all the advice you'll need to live well and with zeal.

    Life is beauty; appreciate it.
    Life is a dream; realize it.
    Life is a challenge; meet it.
    Life is a duty; complete it.
    Life is a game; play it.
    Life is a sorrow; feel it.
    Life is a song; sing it.
    Life is a struggle; accept it.
    Life is an adventure; risk it.
    Life is luck; make it.
    Life is a puzzle; solve it.
    Life is opportunity; take it.
    Life is a song; sing it.
    Life is a mission; fulfill it.
    Life is life; live it!
