Jack’s Winning Words 8/5/08
“You better act your best and think your best today, for today is the sure preparation for tomorrow and all the other tomorrows that follow.”
(Harriet Martineau) Harriet was born 200 years ago and became an advocate for women’s rights at a time when women were expected to stay at home, making skirts and darning socks. She was one who tried to act her best. Let that be a challenge for us. ;-) Jack

FROM MOLINER C.F.: Once did a slpgan for a client, "Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Let it be the dawn of a new beginning."

FROM M.S. IN MI: I REALLY LIKED THIS ONE jACK. i WILL FORWARD IT TO OTHERS.

FROM B.S. NEAR ORLANDO: Thank the Good Lord for all the fine woman who braved the battle and paved the way for people today to fight for respon sible laws, and equality for all people, especially us Swedes. My mother couldn't vote when she graduated from "Normal School", her mother couldn't vote. I asked her how in the world did those men actually run our government? Yes, ran it into the ground. I'll give you a bet if women had been in charge we would have had fewer wasteful wars in our memories.

Someone has to type in a comment on your choice of Winning Words today, Pastor Freed. In honor of Harriet Martineau and in thanksgiving for being able to vote today, I offer up the comment that I voted for Brenda Lawrence to be County Executive. If she wins, now THAT will be a first.
Peace,
Sharon
