Have You Ever Kissed a Stingray?
I had the opportunity to during our exciting 7-day cruise over Spring Break, but I decided not to. James and the boys kissed it. We got to swim with the stingrays in Grand Cayman. It was both exciting and a little scary. Prior to arriving, I had been told that their barbs had been removed, but found out right before we got in the water that they could still hurt you. The stingrays would sneak up on you, and it was difficult not to step on them.

Planning for Disability
No one likes to think about the possibility of their own disability or the disability of a loved one. However, as we'll see below, the statistics are clear that we should all plan for, at the very least, a temporary disability. Disability planning is one area where we can give each and every person and family we work with great comfort in knowing that, if the day comes for themselves or a loved one, they will be prepared.
Most Individuals Will Face at Least a Temporary Disability
Study after study confirms that nearly everyone will face at least a temporary disability sometime during their lifetime. More specifically, one in three Americans will face at least a 90-day disability before reaching age 65 and, as the following graph depicts--depending upon their ages--up to 44% of Americans will face a disability of up to 4.7 years. On the whole, Americans are up to 3.5 times more likely to become disabled than die in any given year.
