Happy National Red Hat Day 
April 25, 2020

Today marks the 22nd anniversary of the Red Hat Society
Celebrating National Red Hat Day when several Chicks attended a Fashion Show Luncheon to support the American Legion Post in Halfmoon in 2019.


Hello Everyone,

I sincerely hope that all of you and yours are safe and in good health during this difficult time. To those of you who are working  and/or have family members working in the essential services workforce - a special word of thanks to you and your family as you go out into a scary world every day. After the 9/11 attack our world changed a lot and now it seems like our world will change even more.

Lets remain hopeful that we will soon be able to enjoy getting together to have fun.  We will just need to continue to evaluate social distancing as time goes on or when we hear that our Upstate region is able to regain some normal life again.

Words to Ponder  -

________________________________________


RECEIVED THIS FROM A FRIEND AND WOULD 
LIKE TO SHARE IT WITH YOU-
If the mountain seems too big today, then climb a hill instead.

If the morning brings you sadness, it’s okay to stay in bed.

If the day ahead seems heavy, and your plans feel like a curse,

There’s no shame in re-arranging. Don’t make yourself feel worse.

If a shower stings like needles, and a bath feels like you’ll drown.

If you haven’t washed your hair in days, don’t throw away your crown!

A day is not a lifetime, a rest is not defeat.

Don’t think of it as failure, just a quiet, kind retreat.

It’s okay to take a moment from an anxious, fractured mind.

The world will not stop turning while you get re-aligned.

The mountain will still be there when you want to try again.


So climb it in your own time – and LOVE YOURSELF till then.
