I am not sure about you, but I am pretty masterful at procrastination. You know, the art of putting off actions or things that need to be done until you absolutely have to do them. If we are truthful with ourselves, I think all of us have procrastinated or continue to do so in our lives. I know for me I will usually get it done, but for some reason, I need the pressure or added anxiety to accomplish the task. In my perception, many of these actions or behaviors are somewhat meaningless or not important to the well being of ourselves or others. That is where the problem with procrastination lies. My perception may be wrong, which is when the anxiety or stress of the situation or action I do not want to do shifts from a positive to a negative. This type of stress is not healthy for us. So enters the saying, “The Time is Now.” If we use this mantra to limit our procrastination, we may reduce our stress and maximize our quality of life. Sounds pretty good to me, how about you?
We at your Ohio Masonic Home are focusing on The Time is Now in many ways in this year of 2015. We are focused on the time is now for us to:
Put energy and dollars back into the Springfield campus with a new building and upgrades to our facilities.
Put energy into implementing our strategic plan which focuses on building closer relationships with you and developing new services that help us live our mission.
Develop and implement new ways to assist the Brethren, widows and families to live how they want and where they want.
Continue to improve our financial stability and high quality of services.
As we focus on these areas for the next year may I say thank you for all you do to support us in our mission.
