Jack’s Winning Words 2/19/07
“Fear less, hope more. Eat less, chew more. Whine less, breathe more. Talk less, say more. Love more, and all good things will be yours.” (Swedish Proverb) I’m half Swedish on my father’s side. The Swedes have some pretty good sayings, but so do other ethnic groups. I’ll be doing German tomorrow. What’s your background? ;-) Jack

German/Danish - both my German grandfather and my Danish greatgrandparents were Lutheran. I feel that ancestry provided something for me that helps me to fear less, hope more. Eat less, chew more. Whine less, breathe more. Talk less, say more. Love more, and all good things are becoming more and more mine over time. Learning patience here.
Morning! My ancestors were Danish and German. My great grandfather and grandmother, Anna and Christian came from Denmark. They are buried in the Grayling cemetary. My great great grandparents were Pennsylvania Dutch and are also buried in Grayling. Gary's family is from Norway and Sweden....distance cousins of Abraham Lincoln. Blessings! Judy L
