Do you consider yourself to be a charitable person? I know a lot of people who have made it their personal goal to do good deeds on a regular basis. They do it not because they want to glorify themselves, but because they value helping others.

It’s 09-09-09 today. September 9, 2009. It only comes around once in a blue moon, and people are making the most of this occurrence. Logically speaking, there really is nothing special about this day. That has not stopped people from at least making a remark about it (check your Facebook and count how many of your friends have 090909 on their status!). Some even go as far as using the date for marketing and promotion activities.
According to numerologists, the number 9 is special. It is ...
As summer is nearly at it's end, I thought I'd post this wonderful photo that was taken during Koyo, or "red leaf" season, which takes place in the autumn in Japan.

Many have yet to experience what the skillfully created area has to offer. The beach is walking distance yet for the more leisurely pursuits, there is a shuttle service that ferries people to and from the area.

Ah, this was quite a surprise when I came home today. My wife baked a dozen chocolate cupcakes! So, fresh out of the oven one was offered to me and how could I resist. It was all so fluffy and just perfect! Ha (!) I hope she's reading my blog, I could use a warm back rub tonight.
Anyway, let me pull out of that wonderful scene to say "don't you think the world needs a cupcake"? I think it's high time for a "world smile". Across the globe, recession ...

Boy, was I [...]

We’re right smack in the middle of the Winter Olympics. Have your kids gotten into the spirit of it all yet? It saddens me that today, some kids would rather play sports via the PlayStation (or any other gaming console) than actually go outdoors and kick some butt. With the Winter Olympics [...]
