I have recently been reminded of an old adage shared
by my grandparents at a time seemingly long ago: “Great Oaks from little acorns
rise”. This most recent renewal of what is surely a tested truism began a week
ago following my “recruitment” by my wife to “assist” her preparation of slides
for a pending conference where she is to present material related to her
interest in and continuing involvement with cardiovascular wellness. I retain, in her eyes, the position of “family
technology guru” and “for better or worse” I guess I will always be that person
to be called upon when anything of an Information Technology issue arises. I am sure there are worse fates in life. Anyway,
I am beginning to digress and I haven’t really gotten to my main point which is
that, for those of you who thought about doing something and started and
stopped and started again and, then stopped again, it’s not too late to get
back up and start one more time, again. For, if your don’t stop and you keep
going like my newly found friend, Betty C. Jung [http://www.bettycjung.net/Blog2013b.htm]
I am sure that, from your efforts will come achievement greater than you can
now imagine.
As I scanned webpage after webpage looking for
suitable material to be used within the presentations my wife would make, I
chanced across Betty’s website and was immediately drawn in by its depth and
breadth of coverage of the health care and wellness issues for which it was
created. This resulted in an exchange of
emails required for the seeking and receiving of permissions related to the
potential use of some of the material to be incorporated into slides and grew
into an email discussion related to etiology, methods and objectives for website/blog
creation and maintenance. What impressed me was the entire website/blog was designed
by, created by, updated and maintained by one person! If you have any interest in things of a
personal medical nature and have never visited her site, it would be well worth
the investment of a few minutes to check the site out at http://www.bettycjung.net/Blog2013b.htm.
Why am I telling you all of this? We all have
talents and we all have only so much time in which to use those talents to our
good and the good of the commonweal. There are times that we come to self-opinion
that our talents are not so great but we must never forget what Betty C. Jung
has shown to those who visit her site that the old adage is still true: “Great
Oaks from little acorns rise”. So, with
the talent and time that you have been given, go make an Oak!
