So, I do not know how long it is that Happy New Year greetings still apply; but let me say thank you for a great 2015, and how much I look forward to 2016 serving as your CEO of Your Ohio Masonic Home.
As years come to a close, and a new year approaches, it is common for us to reminisce about the year gone by, and think about the year ahead. This process for me is always interesting as I start to wonder why we do that. For me, it connects to always trying to better myself as a man in all the roles I have in life. I want to assume that that is true for you all as well. Life is filled with change and transitions, and many times we have no control over what happens in the year, but we do have control over how we come to the events in our life from year to year. How we come to and deal with all that life has to give us or take from us, is the key to our mental and physical health. It is possible to get better and better at coming to events in our life regardless of age.
Here at the Ohio Masonic Home, we encourage this philosophy of how you want to age and where you want to age and the choices that go along with that. So together let’s age well and enjoy the gifts we have and share them with each other. Let’s together help each other come to events in our lives the best we can, with a level of peace that we are not alone in this journey. Let’s together rejoice that we are a part of the greatest fraternity and group of individuals in the world. Let’s together live our tenets and principles and encourage each other to live them as well. Let’s together show those not part of this great fraternity what upright living can be, through the services and products from the Ohio Masonic Home.
I look forward to growing and learning with each of you, and ask for your continued support of the Ohio Masonic Home as we continue to grow and live our mission. We are the living expression of our Masonic Obligation – we serve as the trusted partner to help people age respectfully: how they want, where they want.
