    True?

    Death can come at any minute, in any way.
    We do not know what is in store tomorrow,
    or,
    whether there is a tomorrow,
    or even a tonight! But still,
    we have the golden present.
    Now we are alive and kicking.
    What should we do now?
    Love all, serve all.

    From Marianne Elwell concerning the cruise next summer:

    Re the cruise – if someone is interested in the cruise, or even think they might be interested, they only have to put a deposit of $25.00 per person by 8/26.  They can always cancel (up to a certain point and I will find out what the latest cancel date is), but we need at least 8 cabins booked by then or we lose the group status. 


    If you can put in the blog to encourage anyone who even might be interested (including yourselves in case your hips fail) just to put the deposit down, if we get at least 8 cabins, we’ll be good to go.

    True?  Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed.
    Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love,
    grace, and gratitude.

    Note: Following discussion among the board members, we decided that we have to give up inviting our dogs to Mass.  Some people have allergies, some are skittish, but above all the Health Dept. might get upset and invite us out.  So sorry, you kids and dog lovers.  J.S.
