Stay focused, distractions cause mistakes , mistakes take time to correct so keep your eye on the proverbial ball.

See your self as a success! If you don’t , who will? …
Be kind ,every where, harsh works come back at some time ” every dog gets its day”!

Although he was very well known in the community for his writings in the 90’s for the Merritt Herald and his own coffee paper, The Merritt Morning Mirror, there are lots of people who aren’t aware that he passed away. And many people who don’t know his creative work. |
