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.

Ideas from pillar to post.

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.

Windows for the thankful soul.

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.

It’s in style year round

Life isn’t written in stone.

But your totally avoidable demise could be.

Thankfully, it doesn’t have to be.
