“You can’t do everything at once, but you can do something at once.” (Calvin Coolidge) President Coolidge was sometimes referred to as “Silent Cal,” because he didn’t offer many opinions. However, today’s words were well spoken by him. There may be some times when we have so many things on our “to-do-list” that we are overwhelmed. Cal says to start by doing one thing. ;-) Jack

FROM HS IN MICHIGAN: Excellent. FROM JACK: If the shoe fits......

FROM MOLINER CF: Some of the people can do everything at once some of the time and all of the people can do some things all at once all of the time, but not all of the people can do everything at once all of the time, Abe Sundquist FROM JACK: Sunny's answer is convoluted.

FROM LP IN MICHIGAN: A good idea for today. It's amazing how much piles up on the to-do list when you're out of the office, even for a few days. Thanks FROM JACK: It even piles up on the desk of retirees.

FROM PRFM IN WISCONSIN: I have a host of e-mails but I'm going to respond one by one, starting with this one, because Coolidge was right! FROM JACK: "Win them, win them, one by one!" Do you remember that song?

FROM SH IN MICHIGAN: Great WW for those of us who are habitually procrastinators. Thanks!!!!! I've got a thing in mind to do tonight yet.

FROM MO IN ILLINOIS: Good thought: like "the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step"...just tackle ONE thing at once! I read a good quote yesterday, which said, "One of the gifts of getting older is that we get to keep all the ages we've been." It was quoted by Carol Kuykekndall in Daily Guideposts, but was not original with her. (I guess anonymous...) All of our ages have special blessings, even old age!! :-)
