Recently I was fortunate enough to be given a photograph by Mr. B.P. Gordon. The photograph is a spring time aerial perspective of the Main Street in Dillon as is appeared in September 1953.
Mission Accomplished
Poverty in one country such as America (in 2011, $22,350 for a family of four) would translate to middle class or higher in many other countries in the world, Haiti being the most notable example (Some 55% of Haiti’s 9 million people live below the poverty line of US$1 a day.)
A Happy Disposition
No one enters community residential care without a cause usually for health reasons but occasionally there is a need for some type of supervisory care when there is no one left in the family to provide it; therefore there needs to be an address change.
A Trip To The Country
Visiting in the country side can be an exciting experience for an 8 year old girl whose home is in town.
Happiness Is…
I visit a local retirement facility each weekday with some few exceptions. Generally I arrive while breakfast is being served to the residents.
‘WOW’ Moments
Most readers recognize the name of the late Steve Jobs (1955-2011) as the Apple founder.
An Empty Joy
A well known joke to some is a statement made by a speaker defending his thoughts about animal rights which goes something like this: I love all animals, preferably grilled.
Improvise
This event never happened at least it did not happen as portrayed here, but sometimes a little tinkering with the truth can add to a story. It’s not that the changes are completely intentional but after hearing the story told several weeks ago and then only in passing, the details are somewhat foggy, but that is no problem even if the facts have faded. Improvise.
Panic
Too often panic comes suddenly, and you do not have any time to prepare for it such as a split second occurrence, for example you drop something fragile and are paralyzed momentarily because you instantly realize that there is nothing you can do to avoid its breaking.
Rite Of Passage
A rite of passage marks a transition from one level of maturity to another, for example in early tribal societies, a rite of passage might have been when a boy was considered to have become a man, when his skills were developed to a near adult level, perhaps when he first spent time in the wilderness with only his skills to enable him to survive.
