April 7, 2014 Canandaigua Connected ENewsletter 

 Sometimes, you just have to persevere.  We had to wait out a cold and stormy winter and then a bit of rain.  We also have to accept that people have differing outlooks or opinions and that not everything is personal. If we can try to let go of our expectations of what we think should be and just accept what is, it makes life a lot sun-shinier. Enjoy this week's CC!

Blue skies, Donna Bennett
