Daffodil Days The Tehama County Daffodil Days Coordinator for the American Cancer Society's fight against cancer is Gail Locke. Daffodil Days is one of the American Cancer Soci- ety's oldest and most beloved fundraising programs. It celebrates the Society's mission to eliminate cancer as a life-threatening disease. Since 1973, Daffodil Days has empowered people to make a difference in the fight against cancer by raising funds and awareness to help beat the disease. Although Daffodil Days involves offering daffodils every spring to donors in appreciation of their contributions, it is about more than just giving and receiving beautiful flowers it is everyone's opportunity to share hope for a world free of cancer.

By giving daffodils and other beautiful gifts to friends, family members, and even cancer patients, you're really giving hope by enabling the Society to fund groundbreaking research and offer free information, day-to-day help, and emotional support to improve the lives of people facing cancer. For those who do not want to order their daffodils online they can call Locke at 527-5290. Orders must be in by March 1.

Don't grumble, be humble There is a character trait that emotionally suc- cessful people have that sets them apart from their unstable counterparts - humility. I was walking the river trail with a friend the other day, and we were remarking on people that we know who like to point out other people's flaws and take shots at people whenever they can. We concluded that the people whom we enjoy spending time around are people who have an edge of humility. Being humble doesn't mean not taking credit for something, or boasting about what you are, what you have, or what you do. Humble people tend to be more open-minded, more forgiving, and more accepting of other's flaws. Humble people have an under- standing that we all make mis- takes, we all fall, and we all stick our foot in our mouth from time to time. Can you recall a time in your life when you made a poor choice, said the wrong thing, or used gos- sip to get the advantage in a situa- tion? Ever remember a time when you wished you hadn't done some- thing and felt sorry? Humility is what made you apolo- gize. Have you ever experi- enced someone poking fun at your expense? Heard something some- one said about you when you thought they were your friend? The pain can sting. The emotions you feel are as far from your true self as you can get. Your true self is lov- ing and kind and when you are the brunt of pain, you feel anger and hurt. When someone hurts you and is humble enough to apol- ogize in a genuine way, you sense their humility and you forgive. The next time you feel yourself begin to judge someone, find your humility. Think about what that person may be facing and why they may be acting that way. The next time you offend some- one, take time to apologize and show your humble nature. Start to see the world through accepting eyes. Begin to embrace diversity and see what someone may have to teach you, no matter your circum- stance compared to theirs. Years ago I was working in an office where gossip was a big part of the culture. I decided as a New Year's resolution to stop engaging with the person who was at the head of the gossip chain, essential- ly committing political suicide on the colleague level. It wasn't easy to disengage from the routine, but when I did, my career took off. I got promotions and the administration saw me as a mature leader. For a long time, I was treated poorly by some of my co-workers for abandoning their friendship. I had fewer lunch dates and fewer birthday cards. A few years ago, long after I had left that job, I received a letter in the mail from the very person I had cut myself off from, and she said how sorry she was for treating me so mean and that I didn't deserve the things she said about me. Something happened that turned her heart. Something humbled her and made her reach out to me and make amends. I appreciated her humble way of telling me she had grown, and I was proud of her for her change and proud of myself for mine.
