As the New Year evolves I want to remind everyone that life in America is not as bad as the media is projecting. I recently was listening to Warren Buffett. He stated,”… the bottom two to five percent of the population today lives better than the richest man in the 1920s, J.D. Rockefeller. Today, in 2023, medicine and health care are better, entertainment is better, education is better, transportation is better, etc.” He stopped himself there but could have continued. For those of you who have run into a few “bumps in the road," the glass is half full. Think positive thoughts and with a little push from the “Unknown” everything will work out for the best. There are friends, family members, neighbors, and many organizations that are out there to help you. “Give of yourself and you shall receive.” I believe I read that somewhere. This is the United States of America there is help out there. Wishing you all, the very best in life.
