RENAISSANCE MAN BILL SWIFT INSPIRATION CORNER Bill Swift was John’s brother-in-law — his sister Jane’s husband and soulmate. Over the years, Bill was a constant source of inspiration for us. He was a true modern-day Renaissance man who lived and enjoyed every day to the fullest. Bill was a master carpenter and craftsman. There was nothing he couldn’t fix or improve. He was also curious and introspective. He loved to travel, read, and learn new things. He took great care of his physical body and was ever conscious of his diet and fitness. Bill had a thirst for knowledge and new experiences and lived life with an open mind and an open heart. Bill found out in early March that he had aggressive melanoma cancer. Bill faced death with the same courage, perseverance, and self-discipline as he did everything in life. One of our favorite Bill Swift quotes is: “Learn from the past, plan for the future, but don’t dwell too long in either place.”
SHARE THE LOVE THIS MONTH 4 Ways to Support Your Loved Ones This Valentine’s Day Every Valentine’s Day, people want to find the best ways to show their partner or even a close friend how much they care. It is easy to get sucked into thinking you have to give them the most expensive or elaborate present you can find, but sometimes, the most meaningful gifts are the simplest. Here are four easy ways to show your loved ones how much you care this February. A Text a Day Knowing someone has your back throughout the year, no matter how difficult things can get, is a great source of support and love. In addition to the usual communication you share with your loved one, add in a supportive text each day, whether it’s simply letting them know you’re thinking of them or wishing them luck on a presentation or interview. The best part about these texts is that they can be sent year-round. A Morning Message Board Whiteboards are fun to draw on and make great calendars, but they can also be used to share heartfelt messages with your roommates or spouse. Writing positive messages like, “I hope you have a wonderful day!” or “You matter!” can make all the difference. Waking up to a loving note from someone they care about could mean the world to them and shift their entire mood for the day. A Daily Journal Entry February and March are usually when New Year’s resolutions begin to falter. To encourage yourself and your loved one, consider starting a daily journal. Leave a journal where you both have access to it and write positive messages inside for the other person. This acknowledgment of hard work is exactly what you both need to continue pursuing your goals this year. Random Gifts You don’t have to wait for a birthday, Christmas, or Valentine’s Day to give your loved one a gift. Buying small gifts lets your friend or spouse know you’ve been thinking about them. Whether it’s a treat they enjoy, a book, or even a small gift card, these thoughtful gestures are sure to make them smile.
