Dear Friends,
Right now, the buds outside my office window are blooming. It is beautiful. Spring seems to have awakened. Flowers are blossoming and butterflies are floating in the air. Winter has ended and the longer days have restored our senses. Yet, I find myself also reflecting on the fact that it is already May! Where did the last five months of our year go? How did we get here? What are we to do?
President's Message
Greetings,
My daughter asked me the other day what my favorite word is. I thought about it for a few seconds and said "peace." Just the sound of the word creates a feeling of serenity for me.I looked it up on the internet to see how it was specifically defined. One definition was "a state of tranquility or quiet".....that is my initial thought when I think of the word.
