Stone cold motivation. (Whiskers optional)
Once, when the Greybeards talked, people listened.
Wisdom carved in stone.
Whether the pillar of the community, a supporting role, or merely a peg in the portal rosette,
All hushed for messages.
Reverent.
Thankful for shared insights and guidance.
Don’t need that now.
There’s Google and WebMD.
Get info on demand anytime.
In a group. All alone
Dressed to impress at Starbucks or dressed for quest at home.
Something to be thankful for.
Another thing to be thankful for?
Being surrounded by those who matter during your choice of holiday celebrations.
They’d really be delighted to repeat it all next year, too.
And you – only you – can do something to make sure that happens.
Get those cancer screening exams and tests done now.
Perfect time to make that call.
So easy to get the Scheduling Office to pick up the phone this time of year.
Big selection of available appointment times.
Because everyone else will be crushed shopping at the mall!
(How unhealthy is that anyway? Let me count the ways….)
Now is the perfect time to find presence.
Life isn’t written in stone.
But your totally avoidable demise could be.
Thankfully, it doesn’t have to be.

Thankful you stopped by! (No way headed anywhere near any sort of retail store until people are back at work and kids back in school.(besides it’s another sleepover with the German – can’t leave those 2 alone for too long…they tend to move furniture around.) Hope some sun arrives to help warm your day!
