Where were you?

Hello Readers,

What a week so far!!! Last minute school shopping, Hurricane Irene (coming this weekend), and the EARTHQUAKE.


WHERE WERE YOU? Where were you when the earthquake was felt? I was at the Barclays Golf Tournament at the Plainfield Country Club in Edison, New Jersey. I didn't felt it because A: I wasn't sitting on the ground and B: I wasn't paying to much attention. I was on a Camp Field Trip. As some of you know, the Barclays Tournament has been a VERY big deal for the past two weeks, I saw some of the Cameras move around; but didn't think much of it. A 5.9 Magnitude Earthquake, struck the Richmond, Virginia area; and aftershocks were felt in NY, NJ, NC, OH, and MA. Did you feel it? Were you scared? What are your thoughts toward it?

-REASSIGNED 

I went to the Board Meeting on August 16th, 2011 and was it an INTERESTING one. I don't blame parents one bite for being concerned about their Principal being reassigned to another school. What I don't understand is, Why do it two weeks before the new school year? Was your child's Principal transferred/reassigned? How do you feel about it? Why do you think it happened?

Today's Youth becoming tomorrow's Leaders

Today I Will Make A Difference

Today I will make a difference. I will begin by controlling my thoughts. A person is the product of his thoughts. I want to be happy and hopeful. Therefore, I will have thoughts that are happy and hopeful.
I refuse to be victimized by my circumstances. I will not let petty inconveniences such as stoplights, long lines, and traffic jams be my masters. I will avoid negativism and gossip. Optimism will be my companion, and victory will be my hallmark. Today I will make a difference.

I will be grateful for the twenty-four hours that are before me. Time is a precious commodity. I refuse to allow what little time I have to be contaminated by self-pity, anxiety, or boredom. I will face this day with the joy of a child and the courage of a giant.
I will drink each minute as though it is my last. When tomorrow comes, today will be gone forever. While it is here, I will use it for loving and giving. Today I will make a difference.

I will not let past failures haunt me. Even though my life is scarred with mistakes, I refuse to rummage through my trash heap of failures. I will admit them. I will correct them. I will press on. Victoriously. No failure is fatal. It’s OK to stumble…I will get up. It’s OK to fail…I will rise again. Today I will make a difference.

I will spend time with those I love. My spouse, my children, my family. A man can own the world but be poor for the lack of love. A man can own nothing and yet be wealthy in relationships. Today I will spend at least five minutes with the significant people in my world. Five quality minutes of talking or hugging or thanking or listening. Five undiluted minutes with my mate, children, and friends.
Today I will make a difference.
