Mystery Monday

Attitude of Gratitude

This picture says it all…

We are so thrilled to have been a part of this year’s planning and production of the Dan Emmett Music and Arts Festival.  This picture represents a small part of our DEMAF family, led by (moving right from me) co-director Trina Trainor (pink hat), Marcy, Hunter, co-director Joe Bell, Rachel, treasurer Heather Brayshaw and Emily.

It’s just another example of how things are better when we do them together!

Thank you to our community for coming to the Festival – after all, it’s for YOU!

Today’s Mystery Monday question was: If you could be a doctor for a day, what are the top two things you would look most forward to?

1- getting a paycheck
2- helping people
3- operating
4- going golfing
5- giving shots
6- vacation

Congratulations to Dan from Howard who wins the $5 gift certificate to Troyer’s of Apple Valley.

Thanks for listening!

TV and your Neighbor?

Today’s Mystery Monday question, Family Feud-style…
Name a TV show you’d hate to spot your neighbor on.

The top 5 answers in the survey:

1- Jerry Springer
2- Cops, Live PD (or any reality police show)
3- America’s Most Wanted
4- Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?

Seems like this might be an early 2000’s question…but congratulations to Bonnie from Mount Vernon and Tammie from Howard who both win the $5 gift certificate to Troyer’s of Apple Valley.

Thanks for listening!”

Today’s thoughts:

  • don’t set your expectations too high – be realistic!
  • get in sync with the other people you travel with
  • learn how to relax
  • don’t ditch your usual routine
  • take time out from your devices
  • give yourself time between work and vacation – don’t just jump from one to the other
