CONGRATULATIONS CLASS OF 2015
Whether you are graduating pre-school, high school, college, or graduate school, no doubt there have been many lessons learned. There have been times of total frustration and discouragement and moments of great happiness. But even the greatest joys cannot measure the elation that comes on graduation day. You Did It! You Made It! The hard work paid off! One chapter has closed and another begins.
Within minutes of the fading Pomp and Circumstance, the new chapter is up and running with new lessons to be learned. Since every story has an antagonist, you can be sure one will appear in one of your upcoming chapters. Dealing with an antagonist effectively has a lot to do with your state of mind. May your state of mind always be resolved, positive, and determined. But when the doubts come, remember these 50 Famous People, and remember your past accomplishments. You did it, you made it, and it can be done again!
Congratulations to Class of 2015 and their families!
We would especially like to congratulate Katie and Kelly Summers (pictured above), official doctors in the world of eyes! 🙂
It Couldn’t Be Done
Somebody said that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!
Somebody scoffed: “Oh, you’ll never do that;
At least no one ever has done it;”
But he took off his coat and he took off his hat
And the first thing we knew he’d begun it.
With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin,
Without any doubting or quiddit,
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it.
There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done,
There are thousands to prophesy failure,
There are thousands to point out to you one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you.
But just buckle in with a bit of a grin,
Just take off your coat and go to it;
Just start in to sing as you tackle the thing
That “cannot be done,” and you’ll do it.
If—
(‘Brother Square-Toes’—Rewards and Fairies)
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

Justin introduced us to Matt. Matt was also very professional and had a winning personality. We became friends really quick as we both have a great love for photography 🙂 Matt is the “go-to, man with a plan” when it comes to getting exactly what you need. Matt measured the rooms in our house and calculated exactly how much material would be needed for each room. Matt made sure that there would not be a shortage of supplies, but also insured we would not pay for materials that would never be needed. Matt’s measurements were right on target and we had very little remaining material. There will always be some left over, but Matt let us know that Carpet One has a solution for that unused carpet….area rugs! How perfect! Carpet One cut the remaining carpet to our desired dimensions and bound the edges, thus providing us with a custom sized, perfect area rug and no left over materials!
