Greetings Everyone,

I hope you are all well. I was surprised to see our streets get
repaved. I am guessing that was a benefit of the Stimulus Package.

Making Home Affordable Plan, The Don't Quit Poem

Good Month of May Everyone,

I saw a news item on WAVY News 10 last week concerning
home foreclosure and I thought I would pass it on through
the blog. Maybe you know someone who could use the info.

The video below tells one woman's story of how the federal
government is willing to bring her payments down to 38 percent
of what her total gross income is through the federal
"Making Home Affordable" plan.(MHA)





Go to WAVY.com for more info and to see related links.

Here's a poem by an unknown author that may motivate or uplift.
Feel free to pass it on.

Don't Quit

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest! if you must; but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up, though the pace seems slow;
You might succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup.
And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit;
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.


That's all for now. Feel free to comment or "tweet".
Thanks for reading,

Edward L. West Sr.
