about hokie 94
I am a retired school administrator. I obtained my doctorate in school administration from Virginia Tech in 94. Blood, sweat, tears, and divorce. But, it was worth it all. GO HOKIES!
I truly believe that if we had more love in this world; then, we could do great things for all people. I have read books and articles about most of the greatest philosophers of all-time during my college and university days. I still read about them today. These philosophers, and their thoughts have something to say about love, living, forgiving, health, wealth, friendship, nurturing, sin, and how this world will live and die.
The stuff that they have written is so true today. Just look at the state our our Country and the World today; my friends.
There are too many people today that spend too much time concentrating on materialistic things. We are trying to have too much without teaching values of the younger generation.
Just work on trying to have better health and more friends. If you have a child; then raise the child. Don't expect somone else or the schools to do your job.
It doesn't take a whole village to raise a child right, but it does take a parent to stand up to the kid; and smack their rear when necessary, and learn to say NO!!!!
I'm a music lover. Music makes me feel good, sad, and it brings me to the past and sometimes makes me humble. It affects my mood. It makes me remember people in my life; both past and present. Music is the greatest language of the world.
VOTE. If you don't vote, then you have no right to criticize anything pertaining to the democratic process.
I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND TO THE REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.
Everyday; I think this: Health, Happiness, Success, and Wealth. Wealth does not always equate to money. Having good health is worth more than all the money in the world.
I now reside in Moore County, NC. A great place to live.

You picked right up on what I do, but from your profile I can see why. I never get into the specifics on here; the world is just too small. Yes, looking forward very much to the upcoming break.
Hope you have a great week.

And, yes, I'm still working but it's a far cry from my previous life. Until about four years ago, I spent most of my adult life working in the newspaper profession. But, we own a couple of businesses so these days, I work from home keeping books, records, and taking care of employees. All kinds of fun stuff!
Have a great evening!

My husband and I own the businesses - transportation (cabs, shuttles, etc) - 24 hours a day! Not much fun in that. I am fortunate to work from home but sometimes, I sure do miss my old life.
CB has grown a lot - changed a lot. And right now, it's full of weekend people.
Hope you have a great evening!

Thanks - I am very happily child free. I could never imagine a "mini me" running around. One of me is more than enough.
Hope you have a good week. :-) Beth

When and where were you in school administration? Just curious because I have family in education. If you don't want to answer online, my email address is on my profile.
Glad you had a great day of golf! I'd love to see SP and might just do that one day but right now, I have lots of difficult stuff going on here so it's hard to get away. Have a great evening!

My pleasure, and Thank You for the compliment.
Your blog hits "dead-on" the way life should be lived. It goes farther than the story itself. I read it as a perfect lesson regarding "pay it forward." If a person is fortunate enough to know just one person like the grocer, their life will be a becon for others, and it will transend the generations.
