Hi, subscribers:
As automatically announced previously, RootsWeb will be down for planned
maintenance beginning at 9 PM Pacific Standard Time on Friday, February 23
(12 Midnight Eastern Standard Time on 02/23-24; 05:00 GMT/UT 02/24). The
duration of the maintenance is expected to be about 24 hours.
It is better to BE a good ancestor than to FIND one.
Take a descendant to do something fun. Remind yourselves why you picked the
persons you did to "be ancestors with." For the younger crowd, maybe even
work on the "being ancestors" part <grin>. If that person is no longer
with
you, remember them as they were at their best. Forgive someone who needs it
(everybody does). Telephone a friend that you haven't talked to in ages.
Perform random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty. Sleep in.
Write a letter -- no, the other kind, ink on paper, that can be treasured
for years. Take an *ancestor* to do something fun.
For most of the suggested activities, please feel free to substitute aunts,
uncles, nephews, nieces, cousins, unrelated neighbors or friends, or people
at the homeless shelter.
