Class of 1972 Pewaukee Pirates

Maybe the real luxury now is an uninterrupted evening.
No endless scrolling. No constant noise. Just conversations, books, walks, creativity, silence, and real human presence.

A peaceful mind often begins where distraction ends.

Today was Neil Hinterberg’s memorial. We have already lost too many from our class.

A Simple Truth That Can Change Your Life 🌿

So much of our suffering comes from trying to control what was never ours to control.

Look closely.

There are two worlds we live in every day:

🔹 What we can control
and
🔹 What we can’t

Most people exhaust their energy fighting the second one.

---

🟢 What IS in your control

Your beliefs.
Your mindset.
Your attitude.
Your routines.
Your attention.
Your reactions.
Your boundaries.
Your relationships.
How you treat others.
How you spend your time.
How you talk to yourself.

This is your true power.
This is where change actually happens.

When you choose patience over anger,
discipline over excuses,
kindness over ego —
you are shaping your life from the inside out.

---

🔴 What is NOT in your control

Other people’s behavior.
Other people’s beliefs and opinions.
Their words.
The past.
The future.
Weather.
Traffic.
Aging.
Uncertainty.
Natural events.

No amount of worry, overthinking, or emotional exhaustion will bend these to your will.

Yet we give them our peace every day.

---

🧘 Buddhist wisdom reminds us:
Suffering is born when we cling to what cannot be controlled and ignore what can.

The moment you stop arguing with reality,
you reclaim your calm.

You don’t need to control the world to be at peace.
You only need to master your response to it.

✨ Focus where your power lives.
✨ Release what was never yours.
✨ Protect your energy like it’s sacred — because it is.

Peace begins the day you stop trying to control everything
and start taking responsibility for your inner world.

Who wants to plan a class reunion?

Hello!
Question: Are you ready for our 50th Class Reunion??

I sent invites to those I am currently friends with on Facebook. Please tell other classmates to send a request to me, and then I can add them to the page. I am sure there is a better way, but this was the easiest at the time.

Bottom line- help me connect with others in the Class of 1972!
Kay and I thought July 9, 2002, from 11 am to 3 pm, was a great date and time frame. Thoughts?

NOW we NEED someone ASAP who is a resident in Pewaukee to fill out the paperwork to secure a park. Netteshiem was our first pick as it was less expensive than Wagner, although, at this time, it does not matter which park- we need a place to have our reunion!
We will refund the cost to you as soon as you can secure the park.

We also need classmates to:
Plan the menu and beverages
Shop for food
A committee
Volunteer to take photos
Create an invitation that will include a sheet for biographical information-(does anyone have the book that Kay created 15 years ago? )
A CLEANUP committee
(this is probably not a complete list, so let me know, and I will add it to the list.)
