Weekly Announcements
Thought for the week:
Take time to work – it is the price of success.
Take time to think – it is the source of power.
Take time to play – it is the secret of perpetual youth.
Take time for read – it is the foundation of wisdom.
Take time to be friendly – it is the road to happiness.
Take time to dream – it is the hitching of your wagon to a star.
Take time to love and be loved – it is the privilege of the Gods
Take time to look around – the day is too short to be selfish.
Take time to laugh – it is the music of the soul. (an Irish saying)
