When it comes to money I get worried. There seems to be a complete lack of any sense of pride or honor evidenced in the making or using of money these days, Get all of it that you can, money is the only thing that's important, seems to be the trend. How it is made or how it is used doesn't seem to concern most people. Money has never been important to me, but I can see what this money worshipping tendency is doing to America and that frightens me. * I like New Years' Resolutions. They have become, for me, a plan for a way of life. I make . one special resolution each year. It is to take better care of my health. This gets me to the dentist, the occulist, and the doctor. It works fine for everything except my appetite. I usually make one other resolution and that is ‘to have more fuh: This year I'm changing the fun one to live each day to the fullest, As time goes by I realize more and more the importance of the advice "do it today, there is ne tomorrow."
