“The Senate was designed to protect the political rights of the minority in the chamber, through the promise of debate and the opportunity to amend. But over the years, those rights have been warped and contorted to obstruct and embarrass the will of the majority – something our Founders explicitly opposed,” Sen. Schumer wrote in a letter to his colleagues.

     Yes, it is a New Year filled with hopes, dreams, and goals. Paradoxically, as we age and find ourselves needing to take more care of our health, we might also find ourselves burnt out on the idea of New Year’s Resolutions. But most of us still want to improve your health, right?

In matters of morality, a trustworthy person doesn’t feel the need to dim the light of others to make their light shine. The way this campaign is going now, one can only imagine what it would be like if she won. We all need to look in the mirror and stop walking around in the devil’s shoes.

     When we look at people, meet people, and observe people, we tend to look at their face, head, and hair as a person’s primary identifier. When you look at a person from different parts of the World, the hair sometimes serves as a way to determine their origin or relationship. Our hair can be that unique identifier as each strand of our hair contains our DNA. 

     Now, these small acts of kindness may seem insignificant to some, but for an isolated lonely senior, the offer of companionship, a hot meal, or someone to tidy up your home when you ‘re not well enough to do it yourself was priceless. Of all the gifts Ms. Janie shared with her neighbors I think time was the most important. So often no one has time for the elderly any more. But Ms. Janie let her little light shine on those that needed it most.
