Our oldest daughter just completed her first year at Bradley University. Where did the time go? Our other daughter will be a senior in High School this fall. I went with her on the HS French club’s trip to Belgium and France – Fantastic sights. During our last 22 1/2 years, we have moved 5 times. We currently live in Northern Illinois. Our family includes a dog and a cat.

The Longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than what other people think, or say, or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you. We are in charge of out attitudes. — Charles Swindoll
