Employee of the month: Stefanie Zeppenfeldt
Stefanie has been at Bourbon Heights for a little over a year and decided to come
work here because it is close to home. “I’ve stayed here because I love my residents
soooo much!” Stefanie stated.
“Stefanie is always giving the best care to the residents. She works with them and
their schedules for therapy, beauty shop and doctors appointments.” said her nomina-
tor. “Stefanie is always willing to lend a helping hand. You can always count on her.”
One word used to describe her is ‘compassionate.’
In her free time she likes to spend time with her kids and plan a special residents next
holiday tree. Something the residents don’t know about her (which is no secret) is
that they don’t know how good it makes her feel to care for them.
Congratulations!
Staff, residents and family members are encouraged to nominate someone that they feel deserves to be Employee of the Month. Nom-
ination slips are located in the Front Office and Activity Room and can be placed in the ballot box in the Activity Room.

Discouraged?
As I was driving home from work one day, I
stopped to watch a local Little League baseball
game that was being played in a park near my
home. As I sat down behind the bench on the first-
baseline, I asked one of the boys what the score
was.
“We’re behind 14 to nothing,” he answered
with a smile.
“Really,” I said. “I have to say you don’t look
very discouraged.”
“Discouraged?” the boy asked with a puzzled
look on his face. “Why should we be discouraged?
We haven’t been up to bat yet.”

Chicken Soup for the Soul-A Matter of Attitude
“A Time for Peace.” Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 3 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every pur-pose under the heaven: 2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; 3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; 7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
Turn! Turn! Turn! Sang By The Byrds To everything (turn, turn, turn) There is a season (turn, turn, turn) And a time to every purpose, under heaven A time to be born, a time to die A time to plant, a time to reap A time to kill, a time to heal A time to laugh, a time to weep To everything (turn, turn, turn) There is a season (turn, turn, turn) And a time to every purpose, under heaven A time to build up, a time to break down A time to dance, a time to mourn A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together To everything (turn, turn, turn) There is a season (turn, turn, turn) And a time to every purpose, under heaven A time of love, a time of hate A time of war, a time of peace A time you may embrace, a time to refrain from embracing To everything (turn, turn, turn) There is a season (turn, turn, turn) And a time to every purpose, under heaven A time to gain, a time to lose A time to rend, a time to sew A time for love, a time for hate A time for peace, I swear it's not too late I never knew this catchy song came from this verse in the bible.The Biblical text posits there being a time and place for all things: birth and death, laughter and sorrow, healing and killing, war and peace, and so on. The lines are open to myriad interpretations, but Seeger's song presents them as a plea for world peace because of the closing line: "a time for peace, I swear it's not too late." This line and the title phrase "Turn! Turn! Turn!" are the only parts of the lyric written by Seeger himself.
