I have a plaque on my wall that a dear friend gave me many years ago, but
the author of the piece is not listed. Many of you have probably read the
following verse sometime over the years: "I shall pass through this world
but once. Any good therefore, that I can do or any kindness that I can show
to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect, for I
shall not pass this way again."

Wherever we are and have been, our lives have touched many other
lives...family, relatives, friends and even those people who our lives have
touched only briefly and whom we won't see again in this lifetime. We all
hope we have left a good impression and a positive attitude with them. Life
is so fleeting...Take care, my friends and stay as well as you can! Mary
P.
