I Am Your Child- Happy Father's Day!


Grandma Ruby, my mother, Mary Jane, Aunt Judy and Grandpa Kenny (1951), Wabash , IN



On this Father’s Day weekend, I would like to give gratitude for the “’men’tors” in my life, including Grandpa Kenny, Grandpa Shaffer, Dad and Uncle Roger.

One of my favorite song lyrics about “’child’ren” was written by Barry Manilow, “I am Your Child:”

I am your child
Wherever you go you take me too
Whatever I know, I learned from you
Whatever I do, you taught me to do
I am your child
And I am your chance
Whatever will come, will come from me
Tomorrow is won by winning me
Whatever I am, you taught me to be
I am your hope, I am your chance
I am your child
Whatever I am, you taught me to be
I am your hope, I am your chance
I am your child

I am your child and thank you for the teachings, hopes and chances throughout my life.

Talking With A Man of Faith & A Mentor



 mentioned in a previous Facebook post that I was looking for a mentor. Since my post, I have subscribed to Daniel Ally's Youtube channel. I listen to one of his segments every morning.
Daniel is more than a guide. He is a man of faith.
What a pleasant surprise. We talked yesterday for maybe 45-minutes. I give gratitude for our conversation and connection.
Thank you, Daniel!

Don't Discount...


...the good customer service and the people who give it, no matter how a building looks or a perceived physical limitation.
My trusty, longtime computer would not turn on. Okay, it was still running on Windows XP. I tried to revive it to no avail. My laptop deserved a proper burial. I stopped by REPC. I shared with Darren my questions and concerns.He provided the answers and demo the equipment for me. (Please take time and see their free computer museum.)
Then last evening I popped into T-Mobile. A young man helped me. He obviously had a hearing deficit as he wore very large hearing aids. His personal phone also flashed a notification light when it rang. He gave the best customer service besides Kevin, who originally worked at this location.
I shared with this young man about the project I was working on so he could assist me better. I appreciated his words, "You're inclusive."
