It's a wonderful life
Philip Van Doren Stern (1900-1984) began a short story, The Greatest Gift", in 1939. He was inspired by a dream, and reminiscent of the 1843 Charles Dickens' Christmas Carol. Stern shared 200 printed copies in 1943 with friends as a year-end cards after numerous publisher rejections.
Luckily, the pamphlet came to the attention of a RKO movie producer who purchased the rights. Frank Capra's production company saw the movie potential. He paid $10,000 for the rights in 1945. Stern's story was adapted into the most loved and memorable American family film, "It's a Wonderful Life" in 1946. Director Capra's inventiveness, humor and affection for human beings keep it glowing with life and excitement.
On Xmas eve, George Bailey's guardian angel shows him all the lives he touched and how different life in his community would be had he never been born. Although George repeatedly sacrifices his dream to travel the world, he realizes "No man is a failure who has friends."
My dear friends at CatChannel, each one of you is precious, charming and kind. We make every attempt to make all members feel welcomed. You have the generous spirit of George Bailey in your hearts. You make our community a wonderful place. Thank you for being our friends.

Welcome to CC: FurFriend GEMMA STONE
MAY 6 National Nurses Day in the U.S. raises awareness of the important role nurses play in society & recognizes the contributions of nursing to the community.
National Nurses Week ends on May 12, the birthday of Florence Nightingale (1820-1910). The English nurse became known as the founder of professional nursing, especially due to her pioneering work during the Crimean War (1853-1856). Due to her habit of making rounds at night, Nightingale became known as "The Lady with the Lamp".
Nursing is a calling, a way of life. Nursing is a service profession. Nurses rely on each other for the synergistic effect of teamwork in their efforts of care giving.
A nurse is there:
• In the excitement & miracle of birth or in the mystery and loss of life
• To witness humanity--its beauty, in good times & bad, without judgment
• To embrace the woes of the world, willingly & offer hope
• When a calming, quiet presence is needed
• When a silent glance can uplift a patient, family member or friend
• When the situation demands a swift foot & sharp mind
It was a nurse who brought CHLOE to her forever home.
