The Idea For A Lifetime

A few days ago I read an article in our local daily that resonated with me for its wisdom, common sense, and living life to the fullest. That's a lot to be said for a newspaper in this day and age. It was about creating a personal safety net in this changing world of ours.

It is based on the book, Personal Safety Nets: Getting Ready for Life's Inevitable Changes and Challenges
, written by life coach John Gibson and Judy Pigott, an educator and philanthropist. The book will help each of us to set up a network of people and resources that provide peace of mind for the rest of our lives.

Cecelia Goodnow of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer is to be commended on the article.

Those Gift Cards

Cheers for the person who thought of the gift cards!

As you grow older, there is less and less you want for gifts. You already have a lot of stuff. Many times you have no place to display a gift. Your wardrobe has changed and you are the only one who knows exactly what you want or need to wear - and we're not telling unless you ask.

A GIFT CARD - What an idea! It could be to a neighborhood restaurant for morning coffee or lunch or even Sunday breakfast. It could be for a play or musical event. How about a baseball game or two? Or the local market? Try the Post Office. See how long the list grows?

The cards are available for most any service so you can't go wrong.

And what a relief for all concerned.
