An Amazing Story....

I expect to pass through this world but once; any good thing therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now; let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.......

The world watched in awe as an amazing story of resuce unfolded for those 33 miners trapped in Chile.  I can almost bet that there was not a single dry eyed person in the room as we all saw these miners being brought up to the surface after being trapped for 69 days (some for 70).....

Both Arvid and I followed the story and we both got caught up in the drama and emotion that was unfolding live....imagine the reaction of their loved ones......

I don't personally know any of these miners nor their families yet when I think of the ordeal they went through and the pain and suffering it caused not only to their loved ones but also entire nations and the pouring out of help coming from all over the world it makes you realize all over again that people are good.  People no matter color, race, nationality nor religion can unite and form a bond in the face of suffering and despair.

Their story has touched me as it has millions of people out there.  It is a reminder to us of how fragile life is and that nothing should ever be taken for granted.  To all I say live your life to the fullest and enjoy each and every moment of it......Life is full of beauty.  Notice it.  Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces.  Smell the rain, and feel the wind.  Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams......

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.

until next time....
