livfully

What a pleasure to enjoy the hour-long talk by the staturesque Howard Wright portraying Abraham Lincoln at the Northwestern CT Community College Campus Hall on September 10th, 2015.

The lovely evening marked part of NWCC's 50th anniversary and a memorial celebration of a monument to soldiers from the Civil War over the weekend. Abe was just the fellow I wanted to hear from as the events of September 11th, 2001 were being reviewed in the media and in a very poignant reading of all the names at a Patriot Day event in Canaan CT for the fifth year in a row on September 11th, 2015.

I have had

In the last week, I've met folks from Japan (twin boys and their little sis and parents, grands, and family) at an agricultural fair where we all oohed and awed over cows that go, "Moo" in English but apparently go, "Moe" in Japanese. Ohsi means cow while Oosi means delicious (from memory and my own spelling, but may intrigue others to learn a word or two in another language.

Instead of saying 'Holy Cow' we can now say "Holy Ohsi" but google in case that actually means "holy delicious". Hay bales were climbed over by little folks and frying pans, yes cast iron ones, were flung in a contest.

I'm adding a great new FREE DAY of TALKS by Humanity's Team on October 24th, 2015. Go to their website and sign up (you can usually listen for 48 hours after each talk.) Share a summary here or some inspired ideas if you get to listen, making this post team effort. What a nice way to keep the momentum going from the Pope's visit to our United States of A-Miracle!

We need to live and learn (vote and work, talk and walk in our lives) in ways to make that kind of country a reality, starting with caring for Ourselves and Others in a Balanced Way!
