A Few Words from Michelle...
Today
started out well. Of course any day when I wake up in the same state as
Robert is a good start. Being married to a consultant has its price. We
do sightsee and enjoy our surroundings whenever and where ever we are.
We are currently in Connecticut, a state we have not spent much time
recently. There is a lot of greenery here, which is just a glow with
spring growth. What a difference from last week when much of New
England was threatened by floods!
Now
that the decent weather is returning to the northern hemisphere, it is
time to make summer plans. Do your plans include a trip to New Orleans
to help with the Nineth Ward cleanup??? SSA staffers will be
making a visit in August to do whatever is needed. How about you?
Will you glow from a sunburn or from inner thrill that you get by doing
something for someone else.

Whatever
course you have chosen for yourself, it will not be a chore
but
an adventure if you bring to it a sense of the glory of striving ....

says, 'I will.' The man says, 'I will climb this mountain.
They told me it is too high, too far, too steep, too rocky and too
difficult.
But it's my mountain. I will climb it. You will soon see me
waving from
the top or dead on the side from trying.'

YOUR SUPPORT
SYSTEM
Have you
noticed how help is often available just when you need it? A
few years ago,
a California artist carved a unique Christmas gift for
his parents in
Connecticut. It was a four-foot-tall statue of a
hitchhiker,
with thumb extended. (The perfect gift for the
discriminating
homeowner...) His gift was unusual, but his method of
shipping the
statue to his folks was even stranger. He simply set it
beside the
road and let it "hitch" its way across the continent.
Around the
statue's neck he hung a sign bearing his parents' New
England
address, and across its chest was printed the word
"Connecticut"
in large letters. Several weeks and some 2,500 miles
later, unknown
hands delivered the gift to the woodcarver's parents
in time for
Christmas.
I find it
heartening to remember that there are always those willing
to help. And
it's true regardless of the circumstance. There is
someone
willing to extend a hand, lend an ear or share a heart.
Whether you
need temporary assistance or your life has experienced a
meltdown,
there is someone who wants to help.
In every
important way, you are never really alone. You have a life
"support
system" consisting of people you may have never met! And it's
one of
your greatest resources.
