Quote of the Issue:
What you do, the way you think, makes you beautiful.
Scott Westerfeld

A WORD OR TWO FROM ME
by Karen E. Jarosz
---------------------------------------------------------------------
In this cold and dreary part of the year I have for the past two years made it a point to
plant paperwhites indoors to bring a touch of nature's beauty inside. They are beautiful,
happy flowers that cheer up a room during the chilly days. In short they make me smile! I
think about those little things that make me smile such as birds in the bird bath on a
Saturday morning, the giggling of my 5th grade girls, the jokes that my 5th grade boys
share with me, the smell of coffee brewing and it makes me realize that it is the simple
pleasures in life that we should be more appreciative of. Watching the news can bring a
person down and listening to someone complain about little things can cause us to become
upset. So instead I offer the thought of thinking of happy beautiful thoughts so that you
can be happy inside and out! That feeling spreads. It is contagious and that is a good
thing! Try it for one day. Think positive, happy beautiful thoughts and see what
happens....
Until February 1st, don't worry, be happy!
Karen

Unless you've suffered the heartache personally, it's hard to imagine the array of
emotions you experience as you hold a sick puppy in your arms at 3:00 am. There are many
sick puppies being sold in Monmouth and Ocean counties from both breeders and puppy
stores. Should you or someone you know purchase one of these bundles of love and it turns
out to be sick, you need to go to a new website dedicated solely to the reporting of sick
puppies in Monmouth and Ocean counties. The website is www.ReportSickPuppies.com
From :davidzimel@extantsmallbusiness.com
Extant Small Business, a technology consulting firm, has donated 10 refurbished personal
computers to the Association of Retarded Citizens of Monmouth County for use by their
clients. Originally slated for disposal because they were deemed obsolete, these PCs were
rescued by Extant for use in a non-business environment. Some of the businesses that
donated to this project were The Senior Citizens Activities Network of Monmouth County,
Joan of Arc Electrical Contractors of Lincroft , Lone Keep Internet, Inc. of Bradley Beach
and Johnny's Garage of Long Branch.
