Bee Hive Bloggers:



     It's March, it's New Mexico, it is one of the best times of the year.  The trees come alive; they turn our eyes upward to see the budding green color.  The temperature outside is pleasant; the morning invites all to spend a moment in the sunlight to capture some vitamin D.  Our thoughts our renewed with the positive of the simple things this life affords us as mortals.

     I always enjoy visiting the Bee Hive Homes here in Albq.  These are great people who are our residents.  They love life, and they are still participating in the process of personal growth in their lives.  I was recently visiting at the Village and in D house, we had a serious game of Bingo in the process. As I was standing at the table viewing this activity, Rita, who is from B house, spoke to me and said. "Jay, there are 15 flies in the kitchen, which one is the Cowboy?" puzzled for sure, I replied I do not know, and with a blushing smile she replied, "the one on the Range!"  What a wonderful moment that brought to my day, laughter, a simple act of kindness that helped lift my challenges.

     This is the season of spring, a renewing of the earth as the foliage comes alive and causes us to feel our opportunity of a fresh start, the chance to feel renewed.  Our hearts speak to our very souls to say, "It's a new day a chance to prove our selves better in our progress as a child of God, stand tall, you can be a success."

     I have gratitude for our residents whose lives are the results of having faced great challenges personally and as a generation of people who rose up and meet the challenges of their time.

     The spring time suggests to us of our opportunity to meet our challenge.  Our residents stand as a testament that as they did so we to can rise and with the help of God overcome whatever will beset us from becoming the best that is in us to become.

     My attitude is one of gratitude for the opportunity to care for our residents.  Our hope at Bee Hive homes is to have a home in which they can continue a quality of life that is dignified to allow them the opportunity to continue to grow in their lives till they pass from this mortal existence.



May the force be with you.
