Good morning from Collegeville,
It is a crisp sunny morning in central Minnesota. The sun is rising earlier every day and I can see a sunset from my kitchen when I get home. Spring is on the way and it is only four months until we go to Woody’s Fairley Reliable Resort in Ranier.
Barby gave me a four gifts for Valentine’s Day. I am blessed. One of the books is titled “How Full Is Your Bucket?” I read it twice already and it is a wonderful read. It reinforces my belief in positive thinking and it provides insight to what works and what does not work in relationships. When your bucket is full you feel great and when it is empty you feel awful. It is estimated that we experience about 20,000 individual moments every day and they are either positive, negative or neutral. In some cases, a single encounter can change your life forever. I sourced an antique copper bucket and dipper which I placed in my office to remind me every day about the opportunities that I have to help to fill someone’s bucket or to dip in and take from someone’s bucket. Check it out at www.bucketbook.com.
I also received the traveling trophy for the Hagstrom/Osberg golf tournament this week via UPS. It was shipped to me by Brother Geoff who was in our foursome last year. This July 3rd will be the 25th Annual H2O Open. Cousin John’s name appears 7 times on the trophy but I am quite sure that Cousin Kevin and I won it a number of years before we started the trophy. We won so many times that we named our foursome “Ming” because we were a dynasty. Cute?
The show this week is a live broadcast from The Fitzgerald Theater in vibrant downtown St. Paul. Special guests include vocalist Andra Suchy and Peter Ostroushko. Enjoy the show.
By the way, I deactivated my Facebook account. I simply did not take the time to do it justice. I did not “unfriend” you. Take care of yourself, you are important.
