Welcome to April! This month we are featuring some of the men in our area who are part of the community we live in and who are doing great things. I did wonder if some of you may have thought this was an April Fool's joke but no, not at all... It has been a wonderful experience for me too to put together various features and articles about men on the Riviera without ignoring our regular Riviera Women of course.
Life is so much more complete, fun and exciting when we have a good mix of people in the pot. Points of view coming from different angles makes life much richer and far more interesting. No-one likes a know-it-all because how can one person or gender have or know all the answers? A mutual respect for gender, age, race, nationality has to be a priority and makes perfect sense. We all have something to give and something useful to say and I have always said that people need people and in return we become better individuals.
To have special people in your life is like gold dust... very precious... so take care of them and tell your friends how special they are!
We are approaching the Easter weekend and before we know it summer will be upon us... We have much to look forward to so let's celebrate life in the fullest way possible and be grateful and happy for the little things in life that make such a difference, and to enjoy the company of everyone around us, our family and true friends who really make our lives so worth while.
I wish you an absolutely amazing April!
