Greetings from the Cheese Steak Capitol of the U.S.!

Hi Everyone:

After a full day of FREEZING in meetings rooms, then a four hour nap due to exhaustion, I am off to a better start today! Three cups of caffeinated tea to keep me awake and a nice warm meeting room, has me feeling much perkier! I have not had the chance to see any of Philly, but they did serve us cheese steak sandwiches for lunch today (which was actually only 10:30 AM my time.) A little early for cheese steak! My stomach still thinks it's waffle time! Ha ha! Tonight we have a big black tie awards dinner. Should be a fun evening! On Friday morning, we will do a walking tour of Philly, then a brief meeting. Only two more days and I will be back home with my hubby and kiddies where I belong. I miss you guys!

Love Tracie (Mom) XOXOXOXO

A Profound Quote From my Friend Marry

QUOTE OF THE DAY: I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. I possess tremendous power to make a life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated, and a person humanized or de-humanized.If we treat people as they are, we make them worse. If we treat people as they ought to be, we help them become what they are capable of becoming.

DRAGON BOAT FESTIVAL

The Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, and together with Chinese New Year and Mid-Autumn Festival forms one of the three major Chinese holidays. Since the summer is a time when diseases most easily spread, Dragon Boat Festival began as an occasion for driving off evil spirits and pestilence and for finding peace in one's life. The festival was later enriched by the legend of the patriot Chu Yuan. Dragon Boat Festival is highlighted by the dragon boat races, in which competing teams drive their boats forward rowing to the rhythm of pounding drums. This lively and colorful tradition has continued unbroken for centuries to the present day. The festival's significance as a time for warding off evil and disease is symbolized by a number of customary practices such as hanging calamus and moxa on the front door, and pasting up pictures of Chung Kuei (a nemesis of evil spirits). Adults drink hsiung huang wine and children are given fragrant sachets, both of which are said to possess qualities for preventing evil and bringing peace.
