Some thoughts for the New Year...
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have
less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less
sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We’ve learned how to make a living, but not a life. We’ve added years to life not life to years. We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble
crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We’ve done larger things, but not better things.
Remember, to say, “I love you” to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak, and
give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

It’s that time of year again. The air is cool, the ground is white and you’ve found the boots and mittens. Every year we haul out our big snowsuits and jackets, in an effort to stay warm. Those thick layers may be great for skiing and sledding but they can be downright dangerous in the car.
In order for a child restraint to properly do its job, it is important to have the harness snug and as close to the child’s body as possible. In the event of a collision, the force of the impact can compress thick, bulky layers. When this happens, the harness becomes too loose and this can result in the child being seriously injured.
To check if your child’s coat is safe in the car, have your child put their coat on and buckle them up as you normally would. Then, unbuckle the car seat without loosening the harness. Have the child remove their coat and then buckle up again, with no bulky layers. If there is no extra slack and your harness still passes the pinch test, then your coat is car seat safe!
In our harsh prairie winters, it is important to keep our children both safe and warm. There are a number of ways to do this:
* Warm the vehicle for a few minutes before you travel.
* Use a shower cap style cover that goes over top of the entire infant bucket seat.
* Dress your child in light layers with a thin fleece layer on top. Cover the child with a blanket once they are buckled.
* Use a Car Seat Poncho with a fleece layer underneath. This allows the harness to be snug against their body.
* Buckle your child in the car seat and then have them put their coat on backwards.
* Remember that it’s always a good idea to travel with winter clothing and an extra blanket in the vehicle.
Be sure to contact your local Child Safety Seat Technician for more information on car seat safety.

One of my husband’s colleagues at General Electric was taking Lamaze classes with his wife in preparation for the birth of their
baby. The first evening, couples were asked to introduce themselves and state their occupations. A banker, a lawyer and a
psychologist spoke up, and our factory-worker friend began to feel intimidated.
Finally his turn came. Rising to his feet, he said, “Hi! I’m Bill.” Looking down at his pregnant wife,
he quipped,
“I work at GE, and I bring good things to life!”-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our three small children and I met my husband, a mail carrier, on his route for lunch at a fast-food restaurant. As we waited in line, he put our nine-month-old daughter in his mail bag. She stood up in the pouch and giggled, to the delight of some watching patrons. Carrying our tray to a table, my husband turned to one onlooker
and said, “And all this time you thought the stork delivered them!”

LARRY’S PROVERBS
A day without sunshine is like night. On the other hand, you have different fingers.
42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot. Remember, half the people you know are below average.
He who laughs last, thinks slowest. Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.
The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese in the trap.
Support bacteria. They’re the only culture most people have. A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory. Change is inevitable, except from vending machines.
If you think nobody cares, try missing a couple of payments. How many of you believe in psycho-kinesis? Raise my hand.
OK, so what’s the speed of dark? Hard work pays off in the future.
Laziness pays off now. How much deeper would the ocean
be without sponges? Eagles may soar, but weasels don’t
get sucked into jet engines. What happens if you get scared half
to death, twice? Why do psychics have to ask
you your name?
