I recently had some time to view the area were Alexander Graham Bell spent his summers. So this quote very fitting as I have a few doors opening and I almost missed them because I was looking at the closed door. Remember, always seek the opportunity in every situation.

"Sometimes we stare so long at a door that is closing, that we see too late the one that is open."

Alexander Graham Bell 1847-1922, Inventor

"Few will have the greatness to bend history itself, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation."

John F. Kennedy 1917-1963, Thirty-Fifth President of the United States

I am not one to watch tv, however I still seem to hear from friends, family and passers by that apparently the economy is in trouble and we are in dire straights. I wonder to myself do we want this media blitz to define us? Is this what we want to leave in the history books for our children to read about?
