POSTCARDS AND "IDEAS" for Others!

REAL MEN

WEAR PINK

"FIGHT BREAST CANCER AND BE AWARE"

><

That Godson of mine has "Moxie"

and

his Mom

my beloved

CUZZIE

has a

great

IDEA

although she

can't seem to spell it or say it properly

and

loves to irritate me with saying

"I have an ideal"

Director Cuzzie Angie

does

have

a

great IDEA

and

I'm callin on all

Warriors

to help her bring some

JOY, laughter, delight

 to the

residents of

Pulaski VA

Pulaski Health and Rehab Center

where she now works!

Nope

that's not Cuzzie in the middle

with the grin *nope that not her*

Cuzzie,

Director Angie Loy is the one on the right!

She is lovin life with her residents and colleagues 

in

Pulaski VA

a little town in Southwest VA.

In the heart of New River Valley;

and

she has a new

and exciting plan of action

or

an

IDEA

if you will

of ways to engage and entertain the residents through more stories and photographs by taking them on virtual trips

through and with others.

C'mon warriors

let's share around the world

take folks on a journey from their chairs and beds

there in Pulaski VA

with my cuzzie

by sending postcards and notes

to them

...

imagine

the sensory experiences that can be gained...

...

Folks from around the world

who will send a postcard(s) from their homes

or places of interest

that Cuzzie Director

will then share with the residents

and

read the messages on the backs of those cards

and

then they will place them on a big ole' board

for the community to see!

AND

"all here and your friends from all around the world

can say you helped to make joy and fun"

happen in a special place for special folks

 in southwest Virginia...

This page is read by folks all around the world

and

we are indeed a page of

wonderful warriors here.

I know that many of you read but do not comment often,

but

often I get emails from all over

and

I stand amazed by all

honored

by each and every one

...

I also see those "statistics" that let me know that we have readers in

England, New Zealand, Iran, and just about everywhere

including Africa and Australia, Brazil, Germany...

and places of our

great country

so

I'm asking!

When you are out and about;

will you take the time

to pick up a postcard or twenty

and

just

fill up the mailman's bag

in that little town?

Give em something to

"talk about"

as Bonnie Raitt sings!

In the friendly skies

yesterday

as we neared

Cincinnati Ohio

and prepared to land

I then noticed the plane

change...

Delta was going

UP UP UP

as in changing its mind ???

As we went higher and higher

and then made a huge circle

the pilot came on the loudspeaker and said,

"Ladies and gentlemen, we were informed by the terminal that ALL OUR LANDING GEAR HAD NOT DROPPED AS WE WERE LANDING...

and we had to replace bulbs in our controls, we have now done that, and now know that all landing gear is working PROPERLY, and are now preparing for our

{safe}landing! We now know that ALL our landing gear is down, and we are NOW preparing for landing,

we should be safely on the ground in 5 minutes, thank you for flying Delta"

>>>><<<<

Well Delta,

just for once

I'd like you to

BORE ME on a flight!

Safely arriving I was met by the sedan man

of Executive Sedans, (Mike)

and

we had a delightful drive to

Dayton!

GOOD MORNING DAYTON!!!

I know look forward to a day

of

wonderment with

those at

Crossroads Hospice

as

together we

celebrate

National HOSPICE MONTH

...

I am honored to be with them

and

I look forward to speaking to them

today

and then head to

Cincinnatti

for another keynote tomorrow!

Cuzzie Ang

a Warrior

she is

and

now let's see if we can just

make her proud

with those postcards in the days and weeks and months ahead!

Perhaps if she were to get her

"swagga on" with a

"HAT"

it would help her with her

use of the word

"idea"?

But

I have to give it to her,

My girl has Moxie

and I am ever so proud of her!

Imagine how much fun this can be... you can send her postcards from all over, and with great sayings and messages for her and the residents:

"the weather is HERE wish you were beautiful"!!!

I got one of those once from a friend in the islands!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IzQWXPI8mA&feature=related

Together we can make some joy!!!

What a wonderful world!

So friends/warriors/readers:

Just send those postcards to:

 Angela Loy, Director of Activities

 Pulaski Health & Rehab Center

2401 Lee Hwy N

 Pulaski, VA 24301

As we approach the holidays,

I'm sure she and COB and the others there will have a blast

showing them to the residents and reading your messages

looking at the pictures

and

perhaps

they will even hear stories of

"back in the day"

or

"well I'll be, I'VE BEEN THERE"

or

"I think I know that person"

!!!

It is truly in our care and doing for others that we fill ourselves up in ways unimagined.

It is in caring, in stepping outside and breathing the crisp morning air or seeing a sunset that we behold all that we have to give to another

and

in those ways

we receive so very much.

I do hope you will join with others

in

overwhelming or just making "giddy"

the town of

Pulaski VA

where less than 10,000 call home, in the heart of

the New River Valley!

Many may remember

that

D'Vante and those Bobcats

played against the Pulaski Cougars for

bragging rights of the "BRIDGE"

and won this year!!!

Let's show

Pulaski VA

some love *while we overwhelm the US Mailman/woman*

and

share some sights of where warriors of gentle spirit hail from across the Nation and our world

when

you jump in on this

new

IDEA

and delight the senses

of those living

there

...

I believe the local newspaper is even interested in this as a human interest story to see if

our Director Cuzzie can get folks involved

and

we here

LOVE A CHALLENGE...

game ON

OK

friends

I have to find a store here in Dayton that sells postcards

and

I hope you will join me.

I wish you an outstanding day today warriors;

May the Creator bless you

and

hold you tenderly along your path today

as you reach, stretch

and

be

all that you are

I wish you enough!

Walk In Beauty,
