August 14,

Life is too short! This is a line heard and expressed often, but have you thought about it lately and made some adjustments in your list of things you would like to do? It is helpful to have a list and check it periodically. Continuing to do what brings meaning and joy in life and staying active in your community are important ways to contribute to the quality in your life. I am grateful for people that inspire me in life and encourage me to keep growing.

This image brings such meaning to me. It was taken in Vondelpark last summer in Amsterdam. These women captured my attention because one does not see this in our country. These ladies might have been going home from work or going out for some event. It was their age, style of dress, and companionship that captured my interest. This image speaks to me of staying young at heart and active.
