"During my second year of nursing school our professor gave us a quiz. I breezed through the questions until I read the last one: "What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?" Surely this was a joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Before the class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our grade. "Absolutely," the professor said. "In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say hello." I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy. "~Joann C. Jones

While my computer was being repaired I had a lot of time to ponder why Our Country is so broken. I really think the Elected folks in DC have forgotten WHO we are, they have lost Sight of Who we are as a people, that We The People are not greedy or wanting much in Life.......So once a week I will try to find people to interview and post their quotes. At the grocery Store I met this wonderful woman , she is a cleaning woman for the Library. I asked her what is the one thing that makes her happy, makes her smile. " My Tomato Plant, because it keeps growing despite Storms and Troubles and in a funny way it needs me. And when I least expect it, there will be a gift , the precious Tomato.Life really is about the Little Things.... " She winked and turned away....

In a recent Oregon Senate race, candidates were asked in a town hall meeting, if they knew the cost of a gallon of milk, a loaf of bread & a gallon of gas.
Most had no idea.
They are entirely out of touch with reality.
Exactly...they are clueless...
