From Joyce Lawrence Cahoon ('65) of VA - 08/11/08 - "Perspective":
This is the most beautiful advice I have ever received in an email .... please don't close this one before reading!
An Angel says, 'Never borrow from the future. If you worry about what may happen tomorrow and it doesn't happen, you have worried in vain. Even if it does happen, you have to worry twice.'
1. Pray
2. Go to bed on time.
3. Get up on time so you can
start the day unrushed.
4. Say No to projects that won't
fit into your time schedule, or that will compromise your mental health.
5. Delegate tasks to capable others.
6. Simplify and un-clutter your
life.
7. Less is more. (Although one
is often not enough, two are often too many.)
8. Allow extra time to do things
and to get to places.
9. Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time; don't
lump the hard things all together.
10. Take one day at a time.
11. Separate worries from
concerns . If a situation is a concern, find out what God would have you do and
let go of the anxiety. If you can't do anything about a situation, forget it.
12. Live within your budget;
don't use credit cards for ordinary purchases.
13. Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key buried in
the garden, extra stamps, etc.
14. K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut).
This single piece of advice can prevent an enormous amount of trouble.
15. Do something for the Kid in
You everyday.
16. Carry a Bible with you to read while waiting in line.
17. Get enough rest.
18. Eat right.
19. Get organized so everything
has its place.
20. Listen to a tape while
driving that can help improve your quality of life.
21. Write down thoughts and
inspirations.
22. Every day, find time to be
alone.
23. Having problems? Talk to God
on the spot. Try to nip small problems in the bud. Don't wait until it's time to
go to bed to try and pray.
24. Make friends with Godly
people.
25. Keep a folder of favorite
scriptures on hand.
26. Remember that the shortest
bridge between despair and hope is often a good 'Thank you Jesus .'
27. Laugh.
28. Laugh some more!
29. Take your work seriously,
but not yourself at all.
30. Develop a forgiving attitude
(most people are doing the best they can).
31. Be kind to unkind people
(they probably need it the most).
32. Sit on your ego.
33 Talk less; listen more.
34. Slow down.
35. Remind yourself that you are
not the general manager of the universe.
36 Every night before bed, think
of one thing you're grateful for that you've never been grateful for before. GOD
HAS A WAY OF TURNING THINGS AROUND FOR YOU.
'If God be for us, who can be against us?'
(Romans 8:31)
Thanks, Joyce - and a big AMEN!

From Bill Hobbs ('66) of Northern VA - 08/11/08 - "I Believe":

From Jerry Blanchard ('62) of VA - 08/12/08 - "Jimmy
Dean":
Carol,
I have a story to tell about Jimmy Dean myself.
Back in the mid 50's we lived in Md. on the line with D.C. My mom worked in a
restaurant that was next door to a small night club. The headliners at that club
were Jimmy Dean and Patsy Cline. At that time they had a 15 minute T.V. show out
of Washington. They would do the night club act at night. Lots of times between
shows they would go over to the restaurant to get something to eat. Mom struck
up a friendship with them. On several occasions Mr. Dean and Ms. Cline sat at
our kitchen table and played cards with them. I can just barely remember it.
Even in those days Jimmy Dean wore his cowboy duds.
I doubt if he would remember me or any of my family (both parents passed away in
1997).
WOWZERONI-RINI!!!
And you might be surprised! Thank you for sharing that with us, Jerry!
Keep your chin up girl, Friday is coming!
Jerry Blanchard Class of 62
Friday, eh? Well,
this Friday will be payday - always a good thing, even with (or
especially with!) a part-time job! And this Friday is also our 39th
Wedding Anniversary, so yeah, it should be a good day - thanks, Sweetie!

You Can't Get a Man with a Gun
Words and Music by Irving Berlin,
1946 for "Annie Get Your Gun"
Oh, my mother was frightened by a
shotgun, they say
That's why I'm such a wonderful shot.
I'd be out in the cactus and I'd practice all day,
And now tell me what have I got?
I'm quick on the trigger with targets not much bigger than a pinpoint
I'm number one, but my score with a feller
Is lower than a celler, oh you can't get a man with a gun.
When I'm with a pistol, I sparkle like a crystal
yes, I shine like the morning sun,
but I lose all my luster, when with a bronco buster,
oh you can't get a man with a gun.
With a gu-un, with a gu-un, oh you can't get a man with a gun
If I went to battle with someone's herd of cattle
You'd have steak when the job was done.
But, if I shot the herder, they'd holler bloody murder
and you can't shoot a male in the tail like a quail,
Oh you can't get a man with a gun.
I'm cool, brave, and daring to see a lion glaring
when I'm out with my Remington.
But a look from a mister will raise a fever blister
oh you can't get a man with a gun
The gals with umbrellas are always out with fellers
in the rain or the blazin' sun
But a man never trifles with gals who carry rifles
oh you can't get a man with a gun.
With a gu-un, with a gu-un, oh you can't get a man with a gun.
A man's love is mighty, he'll even buy a nightie
for a gal who he thinks is fun.
But they don't buy pajamas for pistol packin' mamas
and you can't get a hug from a mug, with a slug
oh you can't get a man with a gun.
