Another Hello

Time rushes by so fast. It is almost frightening. I know I'm older and so it seems faster to me, but I am leaving yet another assignment. I'm trying not to look at it as another good-by3 but another hello. I get a few days at home but I've been called to fill a position for which circumstances have left vacant. It is a repairative assignment. No matter where I go, there are people there and pretty much we're all a lot alike. Take every good chance for another "hello." Like tonight when you get home from work, like tomorrow when you visit with friends, like business associates that we all seem to take for granted. To the people at Moody Air Force Base I say, "Let's not say good-bye, but I'll see you later." To the people in Texas I will meet soon, "Hello, Ya'll, I'm..." Dr. D.

The Good News or the Bad News

It is funny how good news and bad news can sometimes be the same thing. Oh, good news you're doing a great job; bad news you have to move to a new city. Oh, good news your kids are graduating from high school; bad news they are going away to college. Oh, good news it's a sunny day, bad news you work indoors. You see. The other way is true too. Bad news it's gonna rain today, good news the flowers will bloom. Bad news you've had to be away awhile (like seven weeks?), good news is someone back home loves you and there is a reunion coming. Bad news you have to work, good news you are helping people even if only the company, the customers, or the people you work with. The question might be which do you see? The good news or the bad news? It does make a difference. Dr. D.
