Yesterday ~ Today ~ Tomorrow These past few years have certainly caused a great deal of strain in families not only here in the United States, but everywhere in the world. The weather has caused thousands to lose their lives with hurricanes, tornadoes, fires, and floods. The diseases seemto have taken over the earth, no matter where you are. And who really knows if our diseases have gone past the earth’s atmosphere into other universes, or if in fact, that is why we are getting so much of it here - from other planets? As I was laying out this magazine, I saw the number of deaths in just the month of February alone. It made me realize how many people who are living are feeling the pain and sorrow of losing a spouse, child, other family members, or friends and acquaintances; made me think of my son Wade “Chuck” Jones, who died in 2021, and his saying “I’m here for a good time, not for a long time.” He enjoyed life to almost its fullest potential, leaving behind his beautiful new grandbabies, going on trips with them, his daughters, and wife; as well as spending some time with me and his brother and sisters. Makes you understand, none of us are guaranteed a certain amount of time here - even though we still have unfinished work to do. We don’t know when that day will come nor how that may happen. So, please cherish each day, live it like it’s your last - love your family and friends - do the best you can - and then plan for the future as if you were going to live forever. That’s my motto. I love life, I love each of you in this wonderful industry of ours, I love helping you SMILE, LAUGH, and ENJOY YOURSELVES. That makes my life more beautiful to me and gives me purpose.
