Inspiring Oaks
It’s never too late to
accomplish something—just ask
an oak tree! Oaks begin
producing acorns when they are
20 to 30 years old, but the peak
age for most species is between
50 and 80.

The Lowdown
on Elections
Every four years,
Americans head to
the polls in November
to cast ballots for the
nation’s president.
Late fall was
historically considered
a good time for
elections because the
harvest was mostly
over and winter
weather hadn’t set in
yet. The days varied,
however, until 1845,
when Congress set
the Tuesday after
the first Monday in
November as the
day for presidential
elections.
Prior to 1804,
the presidential
candidate who
received the
second-highest
number of electoral
votes was named the
vice president.
The only bachelor
elected president was
James Buchanan.
John F. Kennedy
was the youngest
elected U.S. president
at 43. Ronald Reagan
was the oldest at 73.
“Autumn—the year’s last, loveliest
smile.” —William Cullen Bryant

Wit & Wisdom
“I am grateful for
what I am and have.
My thanksgiving
is perpetual.”
—Henry David
Thoreau
“If you are really
thankful, what do
you do? You share.”
—W. Clement Stone

B.I.G. catch of the day
Join the Chorus
Soon, holiday tunes will fill the air. If
you get the chance, join in a
sing-along. Singing in a group is good
for you. Crooning in a chorus lowers
your stress, elevates your mood and
can even benefit your heart rate as
much as yoga does.
“Best of all is it to
preserve everything in
a pure, still heart,
and let there be for
every pulse a
thanksgiving, and for
every breath a song.”
—Konrad von Gesner
“If a fellow isn’t
thankful for what he’s
got, he isn’t likely to
be thankful for what
he’s going to get.”
—Frank A. Clark
“Be thankful for what
you have; you’ll end
up having more.
If you concentrate on
what you don’t have,
you will never, ever
have enough.”
—Oprah Winfrey
