Thoughts While ShavingWell, Punxutawney Phil reportedly did not see his shadow yesterday, so, we should have an early spring. You do believe in Phil, don’t you?

Warm, windy and wet later in the day as a front moves through.

Lots of activities in the area.  Our Events page provides info on many.

Congratulations to Jr. Beta Club members attending the state convention in Greensboro.  The students, organizers and supporters do a great job and have for years.

BladenOnline is off to another great year.  Year #9 and the future is bright.

These are trying times for many retirees, especially for those who depend on 401Ks as a source of income.  The stock market has been in a ‘nose dive’ since January 1, and no relief in sight.

Ever remember something your parents would say?  When I would use….”I can’t”, and mom knew I could, she would say there is not such word as ‘I can’t.”  We both knew there was such a word, but she encouraged me to make more of an effort.  Made a lasting impression.  I still miss her.

Years ago Bill Gates, of Microsoft fame, listed 12 rules of life.  I will share a few:

Rule #1…Life is not fair, get use to it.

Rule #6…If you mess up, it’s not your parents’ fault, so don’t whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule #9…Life is not divided into semesters.  You don’t get the summer off and very few employees are interested in helping you find yourself.  Do that on your own time.
