Thank you for your Service

Ahh, the Third Quarter begins with a 250 Year celebration of America. A BIG THANK YOU to those who serve and have served in the military.

As I celebrate these 250 years of freedom, I think back through the ages of those men in my family; Husband, Fathers, Fathers-in-law, Grandpa's, Great Grandpa's, Uncles, Cousins who served in the wars. And those friends I grew up with as well as the Marines, Navy, Coast Guard, Air Force, and Army retired military I had the privilege of working with at Havelock Campus, Craven Community College.

July arrived with a heat wave of 100-degree temperatures following a week or so of no rain. And so far, still no rain. I don't remember a July this hot in my lifetime. My poor bushes are wilting, and I can't help them as now we are on water restrictions. I am using this indoor time to review my wins from Second Quarter and decide what Third Quarter goals I want to work for July, August, September. A week late, but better late than never! I think this will be the perfect month to work through several rooms sorting through those things that fall into the Save, Donate, or Throw Away bin.

Let me know what your goals are for Third Quarter. And I love to hear how you are Taking Care of Yourself.
