I'm looking forward to seeing you tonight. It's timely. I need some help touching up a bit of comedy for tomorrow night's sales meeting and you wrote almost every funny word I spoke in the Wharton Follies. Thanks, Dr. Ron.

We must be telepathically linked. You are speaking not just the words out of my thoughts, but the 'sermon' I've been preaching for the past 2 months. I have even decreed that 2009 is the "Year of destiny!" I found your blog by looking at your page on Biznik. There is truly a current running through those of us who have taken on the role of 'stakeholder' in the Transformation. Thank you for this blog entry. It is my analog of the History Channel program you mentioned. Wow! We must be telepathically linked.

You set a great example for this with your <strong><a href="http://12for12k.org/2008/12/23/the-first-charity-for-the-12for12k-challenge/" target="_self">12for12K</a></strong> effort. I'm happy to support it! Joe Danny, thank you for your poetry.

While it's a given that we need to be there for our families, loved ones and friends, it's going to be just as important that we're there for our strangers yet to be friends. Everyone will have a different level of suffering and need, as well as different levels of what they have to offer. But offer it we must, as we're all in this together. If hardship in 2009 is because 2008 saw greed take its final bow, then I'm not going to hold grudges in the next 12 months. <abbr><em>Danny Brown’s last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DannyBrown/~3/503577407/">Choosing Bus Stops</a></em></abbr> I think one of the positives to come out of what is going to be a tough year for many, Joe, is the Pay It Forward approach that many people are taking on, including your good self.

Well, here I am 24 hours after I wrote the post and ... I'm tired! I would have gone to bed had it not been for this article. I thought, Heck, I can do better than that! I've got Web copy to write for Cardiac Science! Thanks, Valerie. Well, here I am 24 hours after I wrote the post and … I’m tired!

I especially love the balance here - taking care of yourself in order to be more able to take care of others. Too often we fall to far to one side of the spectrum or the other - either making others our sole priority and neglecting "our house," as you say, or being completely oblivious to the needs of others. Working towards a tension between these two, taking care of YOU (me, anyone, etc.), and then giving of that nourished self to others...well, that sounds pretty darned healthy to me! And like a great New Years Resolution. <abbr><em>Valerie’s last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/FarrisLawPllc/~3/485907261/">When do you need a Personal Lawyer?</a></em></abbr> Great post, Joe.

Mon, 05 Jan 2009 18:28:07 +0000 http://joehageonline.com/?p=582#comment-246 Joe, I admire your desire to help others. It's something I don't always appreciate enough. And it is something that is easily accomplished by seniors...most of whom, like me, don't do it. Someone with a young family has very limited time, energy and money to be as good a person as you would like to be. I admire your goals. Just don't spend more of your time and energy than you have available after doing all you have to do for your family, your job and yourself. Don't forget "yourself."
