| THE COLONY NEWS | JULY 2025 | 3 From the Desk of Pat Kight Have you taken just a moment to reect on the blessings in your life? I thank God every day that He has given me so much. I have been blessed to have visited more than 50 countries around the world and 49 states. I am blessed to have Linda as my wife and to share so many adventures with her. We have recently visited New Zealand and most recently Morocco. In September we will travel to Spain, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana and Greece, and in January we are o to Egypt. As you read this, we will hopefully be exploring somewhere in the US on a motorhome trip. With every trip, there is so much anticipation leading up to when we leave. ere is always so much to see and experience, yet it is always good to come home. We are blessed to call e Colony our home. We have so much to be thankful for. Great friends and neighbors. Whether it's a day at the pool, some time on the courts, playing cards with your friends, enjoying the events that Kara and the Social Committee provide for us, or just hanging out with some friends in the Clubhouse. is is a pretty cool place we call home. ere is always something going on. Having visited so many other countries, I can honestly say there is no better place on earth than the good old USA. As we celebrate our country's birth, let us give thanks for all we have here in America. Even with the problems we face here at home, there is no place I would rather be. God bless America! Now, please go out and do a random act of kindness. You will have a better day as a result.
