Historical Tidbit:
In Honor of William J. Sullivan, Jr.
"William J. Sullivan, Jr., became Superintendent of Schools when Dr. LaLiberte retired. Mr. Sullivan had been with the system many years, as the principal of the junior high school, Curriculum Coordinator, and Assistant Superintendent.
When Mr. Sullivan retired in 1987, hundreds gathered, and he was presented with many gifts. One of the most important announcements was that the Center School, where Mr. Sullivan had had his office for many years, was being renamed the William J. Sullivan, Jr. School in his honor."
William J. Sullivan passed away in August of 2018.

How to Rake Without the Ache!
Never continue to do one task using the same hand and the same repetitive motion. It can lead to aches and a weakened posture that can cause injury. Switch hands while raking, spending a few minutes on each side of the body so both get worked and neither gets overworked.

Re-memoring for Success
For All Hallows Eve, I spent time remembering my Dad. While it would be easier to dwell on the old pains; the tears in communication and tears that caused, I try to re-work those old memories.
What positive skills did he give me? What was good, what worked? As it turns out, there were many wonderful gifts. I could not always see them, but now I do. Re-memoring helps me forgive and work past, gaining confidence. Our parents' impact cannot be understated, but it's up to me to develop life skills that will empower me.
"Your memory is the glue that binds your life together; everything you are today is because of your amazing memory. You are a data collecting being, and your memory is where your life is lived." ~ Kevin Horsley, Unlimited Memory
"Growth is painful. Change is painful. But, nothing is as painful as staying stuck where you do not belong." ~ N. R. Narayana Murthy
|
I am 54 years old, and still re-working, re-creating and re-designing. These re-memories are helping me succeed.
Fruitful memories bring strength, joy and confidence I was loved and supported. I wish the same for all of us. With a strong foundation, we can create great things ~ Jacquie
