Making the World a Special Place
If I Was A Super Hero!
Image result for Picture of a child in a superhero costume


Each day we are preoccupied with "our world!"  That might mean work; or school; or a new business contact; or the management of a family.

We are concerned about money; bills; credit cards; new cars; purchasing a home; or an upcoming vacation.

What about taking one day of your life and spend it writing down....... how you can make the world a better place.....what it would be like to be considered a super hero!

Maybe it would be as simple as volunteering at a senior center or a skilled nursing facility.  Maybe it would be volunteering to mentor a student with special needs in their school work.
How about visiting a homebound relative or friend that just wants to sit and listen to your stories....thing happening outside of their home.  It might be sitting down with your children each night and getting a run down of their day........even if they are reluctant to communicate at first.

It could be as simple as donating to a human or animal food bank or helping in the local soup kitchen.  You see.......we cannot tell anyone how to be a hero......only you can tell yourself what you should do to change your life away from "me" to "them"!

Here is what a FIRST grader writes:

Fine Needle Aspirates –With Informed Consent Average time for a Cytology report to be available: [1 week] Histopathology/biopsy surgery occurs only after the completion of the FNA cytology   procedure at the pathology laboratory.
