Let Us Remember....,

[Henry K. Lee]

Those not as fortunate, those needing a phone call, or just a hug. This is the time of year most difficult for some and as a club, community, and most of all a family, reach out and help those in anyway possible. Not just our club members, but your community members need help in these odd and difficult times.

No matter what your religion or beliefs, it is the season of giving. Not just money but yourself is more important as it gives hope. A smile, a "Hello", "Please get in front of me in line", random acts of kindness can really have a positive impact in another's life.

All the Very Best,

The Lee's of Tin-A-See

Tennessee must be more open at this time! You say a smile? Only if the smile is in the eyes. The mask hides the mouth. A hug? Hard to do from 6' social distancing. Only a few options left. Zoom meeting. Phone call, E-mail. Here we are not to have anyone outside our own household together. Unfortunately, they didn't follow those restrictions Thanksgiving and the pandemic soared. Restaurants are open for take out only.
I try to call someone I know, from time to time, just to cheer them up and also cheers me up too. Hopefully the vaccines will work and we can develop "Herd immunity" I would like to see our family members who are scattered out over several states, or distanced parts of California. Would also like to return to the Model T club meetings. Here the whole year has seemed the same except it gets dark earlier and is a bit cooler this time of year.

I think people can see through the mask, I can. Here in Ohio we still speak to one another in passing even with masks. Still hold the door for others and get a big thanks. Everyone is tired of this,but still show compassion for each other. At least most. Don’t give up and have a merry Christmas.

Before masks, I looked at the mouth to see a smile. I have discovered recently that I can recognize a smile from the eyes in many cases. A nod also reinforces the invisible smile.

My biggest complaint about everyone wearing a mask is that I am hard of hearing, and wear hearing aids. Even before masks, I had a hard time understanding someone who was facing away from me. Lip reading is a large part of my understanding someone. If someone doesn't enunciate clearly and is wearing a mask, my most frequent response is, "Sorry, what did you say?" During the campaign, Biden often wore a mask to emphasize that he was following the rules. The result was that I kept wondering why he seemed to be making speeches in Lithuanian.

Hank,

While the cars unite us, you are right to bring us all back to the real focus of life - people. Relationships with one another are what can add quality to our lives. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.

Smile and your eyes will reflect it. " A Duchenne smile is the one that reaches your eyes, making the corners wrinkle up with crow’s feet. It’s the smile most of us recognize as the most authentic expression of happiness. "
