Hayden

Hayden is the son of Jana House (Fulton). He will be celebrating his 5th birthday, Sunday.

This is his first year to play T-Ball, but he looks like a professional. I wish you could see those beautiful eyelashes.

Have a great day,

Shanda

Johnna...

thanks so much for helping the Aberdeen girls out by filling in for them. I know how crazy it can be running here and there filling in. I never have any complaints from you or your co-workers. Thank you Lynn and April for keeping your office running smoothly and allowing Johnna to fill in at the Aberdeen stores. This shows that ya'll are a great team even when you are missing part of your team.

Thanks Again

Kim

Pull Those Weeds!

I am your constant companion. I am your greatest asset or heaviest burden. I will push you up to success or down to disappointment. I am at your command. Half the things you do might just as well be turned over to me, For I can do them quickly, correctly, and profitably. I am easily managed, just be firm with me. Those who are great, I have made great. Those who are failures, I have made failures. I am not a machine, though I work with the precision of a machine and the intelligence of a person. You can run me for profit, or you can run me for ruin. Show me how you want it done. Educate me. Train me. Lead me. Reward me. And I will then...do it automatically. I am your servant. Who am I? I am a habit. The author of the above is unknown, but the words are right on target. If you make good habits, they in turn will make you. But like the weeds in the garden, bad habits can take over your life. Make a decision today to pull those weeds. Shanda

Some of the numbers are VERY close. I would suggest to start sending out monthly flyers again. You can print and fold them at your own office. It would be good if you have 1000 address to divide them up into 4 groups so that you can do them through out the month. If you need a flyers please email Laken and she will be glad to help you. Check back to see where you rank next week!!!! Kim

Who Will Improve Your Lot?

Years ago, in Monterey, California, a crisis arose. Monterey had become a paradise for pelicans. After cleaning their fish, the local fishermen would throw the pelicans the entrails. The birds soon became fat and lazy. Eventually, a new market was found that could use the entrails commercially. The pelicans no longer had a free meal. Yet, the pelicans made no effort to fish for themselves. They just waited, and waited, for the handouts that didn't come. Many starved to death. They seemed to have forgotten how to fish for themselves. The opposite approach was taken by an elderly woman waiting for a bus. She was crippled with rheumatism and loaded down with packages. As the bus door opened, a man offered her a helping hand. The woman smiled and shook her head. "I'd best manage alone," she said. "If I get help today, I'll want it tomorrow." George Bernard Shaw once noted, "People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, make them." None will improve your lot, if you yourselves do not.
