“A friend of mine’s daughter just died. On her deathbed the woman could only say, “I am 53 years old and I have wasted my whole life”. It was the saddest thing I ever heard, perhaps because I too, am 53. My life is rich and full and I could not ask for anything further. I have no husband, no children, and no home of my own. I own neither jewelry nor an automobile, and I am as poor as a church mouse but...I do know the secret to being happy.
To live your life to the fullest is to give and give and give. Period.
To that end, I would like to tell you all that we have reached our target goal of $800 for the English Books for Novomoskovsk library project. My heartfelt thanks to all of you who have championed my cause.
You are a wonderful church mouse and a leader and an inspiration. I am so excited that you got the books.
