Rotary-Kiwanis Joint Meeting

Nov, 2011 Spoken…joint meeting a few times…wondered why.. Figured it out.. I talk like a Kiwanis and I look like a Rotarian. (Note to myself: Begin by complimenting both groups.) Highlight of Your Thursday…Coonridge Digest Let me save you the trouble of reading this week’s Coonridge Digest…or in the case of _________, help those of you who are still struggling with reading. A man in our town who I called John..not his real name.

Uncle Pete…Hay Horse. “That was close.” Air Italia….Coming out of a week in Rome…not a happy time. Alan Bradish…Plaza to Park Brock…Frozen Penguin… kidnapped…spent the rest of the night telling him what they appreciated about him.

A grateful heart does more than just pay your obligation to give thanks…it’s therapy for your soul. It’s nearly impossible to hate when you’re giving thanks. You can’t hang onto envy and gratefulness at the same time. You’ll have to drop one or the other, You can’t dwell very long on yourself when giving thanks. Nearly every blessing you have involves other people and there’s nothing like a good dose of getting your mind off yourself that’ll be as satisfying as any pumpkin pie you’ll encounter this week. If you run out of reasons to give thanks this week, try giving thanks for the very act of thanks-giving. It’s more than therapy….it’s a life-saver. Thanks!
