Still Alive and Well
While working from home today, I received an interesting call from my wife who was at work. My wife has a habit of reading the obituaries online everyday just to see if there is anyone listed that she knows. I guess as you get older, you start to think about that kind of stuff more than you did when you were younger. Anyway, as she was scrolling through the names, one kind of jumped out at her. It was MY name, “Barry Reeves”. At first, she did a double-take and then clicked on the name to read the details. She knew of course that it wasn’t me, because I was quite healthy when she had left home only a couple of hours earlier. Anyway, we exchanged a little more small talk and then hung up.
After I got off the phone, I thought to myself, “I’ve got to see this obituary for myself”. Sure enough, there it was on the list of deaths. The man who had died several days earlier had the same name as me except for a different middle initial. I’ve got to say that it’s a little eerie seeing your name in the obituaries. What was even more unsettling was that he was only a few years older than me. It really makes you stop and think. Life is indeed short. Even though I didn’t know the individual in the paper, my condolences go out to his family and friends.
So for any of my family and friends that happen to read the obituaries today. It wasn’t me. I’m still alive and well and thankful for the opportunity to enjoy another wonderful day. If you’re reading this, I hope you have a wonderful and blessed day. Be thankful for life’s simpliest pleasures. We only get one shot at this, so make the best of it and enjoy it while you can.
Best Regards,
Barry Reeves

Happy Earth Day
What did you do for Earth Day? Did you plant a tree or a garden? How about picking up trash along the side of the road? Maybe you have a great idea for saving energy. Do you recycle? I know most people still don’t recycle on a regular basis. I have to plead guilty to that myself. It’s hard to do with the busy lives we have nowadays. But if everyone would just pitch in and do just a little to recycle or conserve energy in some consistant way, it could really make a big difference in the long run.
Here are a few websites that may give you some ideas on what you can do to help.
