A Busy Year
2011 turned out to be quite a year! The funding troubles at The Pennsville Public Library took a huge chunk of my time. Navigating through the still-troubled Real Estate market was a prime concern, too.
I was fortunate to be asked to join The Salem County Chamber of Commerce early in 2011 as a Board member. Fortunate? Well, better described as honored. What a terrific group of business people! I really cannot think of a better group to be associated with......I'm looking forward to learning a lot from these folks.
Of course, adding some things to a busy schedule demands the subtraction of other things. With a heavy heart, I resigned from the Salem County Workforce Investment Board. This was also an honor to be a part of but after careful consideration, I had to admit to myself that it was a nonworking board appointment.
You may ask, "What does that mean?" Well, it means that I attended quarterly board meetings, but I felt that I did not contribute anything to anyone. I felt that it was an appointment that allowed me to say that I was on the county Workforce Investment Board, but I did not contribute in any-way-shape-or-form. One thing about me is that I like to feel like my time is well-spent and I am doing something constructive.
The sweetest thing of all this year was 'Billy The Kid' needing a home. With the passing of Rhondo in January, the house was quiet and empty. Billy needed us.....and we needed him. Perfect together.
Lastly, to wrap up 2011 -- it was a bit of a battle on the health-front, but I'm happy to announce that I'm once again feeling strong and good.
And at the end of the day, isn't that the most important thing of all? I know it's a cliche, but it is oh-so-true.......
"Without your health, you have nothing."
Here's to your good health and abundance in 2012!
