Owning one’s home has long been the cornerstone of the American dream. As a safe haven, home ownership has its advantages -- particularly the security, comfort, and familiarity one feels while being there. But as life expectancy increases, “the gap between life expectancy and [healthy life expectancy] widens,” according to researchers in an article published in The Lancet.

There are two thoughts that I would like to share on this National Poetry at Work Day. The first is related to how an appreciation for the value of work is passed from generation to generation. As a heavy equipment operation for Detroit Edison, my father worked at a job that required demanding physical labor day after day. I never once heard him complain, even when he worked all day in sub-zero conditions in the brutal Michigan winters. As a child, the enduring image of my father’s commitment to provide for his family was his black lunch bucket. As I grew older I realized the toll that work took on his body. When I asked him about what drove him to work so hard, he simply said, “We’re men, we work”. My Mother was no slouch, matching him step for step - running the household and keeping six children in line. It is no wonder that all of the Proctor children grew into adulthood with a strong work ethic.
