2A Daily News – Wednesday, September 28, 2011 Porath wedding Community What if? people&events Recently I watched the film Let- ters to Juliette with Amanda Seyfried. The story is about a writer who answers a Dear Abbey sort of question for a woman who is won- dering whether or not she should follow her heart. The letter, written by a then young girl, is answered when the woman is in her 60s. The response moves the woman to fol- low her heart some 40 years after the letter was written. In true movie fashion, the decision was worth making as she found and married the love of her life that she thought was lost forever. The writer's response was simply about two words: What If.

Left His Coat in Wrong Car; Appeals to News W. A. Facht of Dairyville threw a neatly tai- lored dress coat into what he supposed was his own automobile on Walnut Street the other day, and went on with other business visits he had to make in town. When he came back to his car to go home, the coat was gone. A little serious reflection convinced Mr. Facht that he had left the coat in another man's car. — Sept. 28, 1921 newspapers to Specialized Fibers on South Avenue, just west of the railroad tracks.

Fundraiser supports 4-H The National 4-H Council announced recently the fall 4-H Paper Clover Campaign in partnership with Tractor Supply Company (TSC). The nationwide, in- store fundraiser will benefit state and local 4-H pro- gramming in each of the communities where a TSC store is located. The campaign will take place through Sunday, Oct. 2, ending at the start of National 4-H Week. Shoppers at all Tractor Supply Stores store will have the oppor- tunity to support 4-H in their community by purchasing paper clovers for just $1 at checkout. All funds raised will be donated to 4-H, and will support local 4-H youth development program activities. "The 4-H Tractor Supply Paper Clover fundraiser continues to be an incredibly impactful local event, hosted on a national platform," said Donald T. Floyd Jr., president and CEO of National 4-H Council. "We are honored to have a tremendous partnership that helps facilitate the support of 4-H clubs and pro- grams in the communities of more than 1,000 Trac- tor Supply Company and Del's Feed and Farm Sup- ply stores." Now entering its second year, the campaign has pro- vided nearly $500,000 to local 4-H programs across the country. The effort has provided direct support for local camps, after-school programs and other activities, and has granted scholarships to these events that youth can explore their interests in everything from animal sci- ence to robotics. This year, funds donated during the national cam- paign will be tracked online and recorded by state and by store.

What if you followed your heart and did what you wanted instead of what you thought you must? What if you really are enough to be who you want to be? What if the road isn't as crooked as you think it is up around that bend? What if. I used to wonder that myself. What if I asked the Daily News if I could write a column? Five years later, I am still here at my computer with plenty to say and stacks of e-mails to say how it has made a difference. What if I let fear stand in my way? I didn't and when it got too scary, I did it while I was afraid. What are the what if's in your life? What could you do if you knew you could- n't fail? The truth is there is nothing you can't do. Even if you fail, you will learn so much along the way if you only believe and allow yourself the humanism to try. There is a safety in expecting nothing in life and getting all of it. My philosophy is to ask for as much as I can fathom and even if I only get some, it is far more than all of nothing. What if. What if you had gone to college? You can still go. What if you left that bad relationship? You still can. What if you mended it instead? You can do that too. You hold the power to do all things good and bad in your life. Even if you think life is nothing more than ran- dom crap that happens to you, what if you choose how to respond to that crap? I attended a baby shower today Faydra Rector for a dear friend's daughter. There is something amazing about watch- ing children we raised from infancy becoming mothers. There is a pride and an excitement that is different than when you are expecting your own. It fills you with the cheerleader mentality that cries 'there is noth- ing you can't do and all of us moms are here to help'. It was a wonderful feeling. You Matter What if you forgave yourself? What if you reached out to someone you hurt? What if you forgave someone who hurt you? What if you asked your- self what if?
