Because I am a V. I. P. (visually impaired person) and a senior citizen, I spend most of my time listening to audio books. Fortunately there are a number of books that are public domain and available at LibriVox.org or gutenberg.com. As a V.I.P., the government provides free books through the Library of Congress. It is my intention that these books should be available to all senior citizens. Because I am a V. I. P.

For Christmas this year we distributed SD memory cards with the audio book A Christmas Carol and other books. We have several  left over, so we decided to make them available. If you are interested, please contact us. Thank you.

When Henley wrote the poetic lines, "I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul," he could have informed us that we are the masters

of our fate because we are masters, first, of our attitudes.  Our attitudes shape our future.  This is a universal law.  The poet could have told us with great emphasis that this law works whether the attitudes are destructive or constructive.  The law states that we translate into physical reality the thoughts and attitudes which we hold in our minds, no matter what they are.  We translate into reality thoughts of poverty just as quickly as we do thoughts of riches.  But when our attitude toward ourselves is big, and our attitude towards others is generous and

merciful,  we attract big and generous portions of success.

Latin

When we entered our second-year class as sophomores at Bishop Montgomery High School in Torrance, California, we inherited the books used by the previous class.  Penned inside the back cover of my book was this poam:

       Latin is a language,

       as dead as it can be.

       It killed the ancient Romans,

       and now it's killing me.

Choices In Our Lives

There are two primary choices in our lives: to accept conditions as they exist or to accept the responsibility for changing them.
