It's that time of year. Lisa and I visited our dentist, Dr. Shmuel Abramson, today. Lisa got an A+ and was in the chair for only about 15 minutes. I squeaked by with a "Your teeth are OK" and was in the chair for nearly forty minutes while he tried to get the stains off of my teeth. Honest, I brush and floss, but I guess it wasn't so effective since the last visit.
We've known Shmuel since we were next door neighbors in Maale Levona back in 1996. He is one of the most upbeat people I know and always has some great stories to share. This time, in addition to the stories, he gave us a sheet of paper with this idea:
BE AN ANGEL
Reach for the stars.
Share your favorite things with others.
Keep your halo polished.
Show respect for older people.
Always mind your manners.
Make friends with someone who is shy.
Plant a garden for the butterflies.
Say at least one nice thing to someone every day.
Never make fun of anyone.
Think happy thoughts.
Don't make too much noise when you flap your wings.
Always tell the truth.
Be patient with those who don't fly as fast as you do.
Sprinkle a little stardust wherever you go.

These strike me as good goals to set and strive for.
Dr. Abramson is still providing dental care for Holocaust survivors. We made a small donation to that cause today. Please think about contributing.
