ISBBS John Vance Cheney once made the statement: The soul would have no rainbow had the eyes riu tears," r V We received a little different Insight Into mothers day this year, as we were able to look a little deeper Into the happiness and chaos of human lives. We spent the days Immediately preceding Mother's Day sitting In a hospital, keeping a vigil as a mother (the wifes) hung onto life by what appeared at times to be a very thin thread. (At this writing she Is still hanging on although not much Improvement has been witnessed). As we sat and waited, we couldnt help but recount some of the things for which we are Indebted to our mothers. Too often we dont acknowledge our appreciation for these things until It Is too late. The tragedy and sorrow that can be seen In a couple of days In a hospital, matched only by the faith and stamina of loved ones who waited In the corridors, brought us to the reality of our social dependance on We need to acknowothers. ledge this dependance, and express appreciation for the help of those around us. Have you ever noticed that there are a lot of men In this world who started at and stayed the bottom there. Within the next ten days, the high schools of this area will graduate several hundred seniors, each to find his own way In the world. Of this group, some will become doctors, some lawyers, some farmers, soma engineers, but many will fall to find a spot In life which Is worthwhile. We would like to pass on to the seniors a few Ideas that might help them climb to success (Its easier to point the way for someone else than It Is to travel the road yourself), The first suggestion would be to obtain as much education as possible. If you are unable to go on to college, learn all you can about everything with which you come in contact. Secondly, always do a little better than your best work. Each time you repeat a Job, do It a little better than the last time. If you are not improving, you are not learning. Finally, dont get discouraged If things don't always go your way, and never feel that the world owes you a living.
