It's Only A Mountain
2007-09-18 05:15:00
A few weeks ago I had the privilege and pleasure of reading some articles and viewing some videos of a remarkable man name Dick Hoyt and his son Rick/aka/ Team Hoyt. Dick and Rick compete in marathons and triathlons together as well as other athletic competitions. Disabled at birth as a result of his umbilcal cord wrapped around his neck and suffering also from cerebral palsy, Rick, with the unconditional love from his Dad Dick have gone above and beyond the expectations of so many to prove that with a "Can Do" attitude, achieving a dream is within anyone's reach. I came across this following article yesterday, and well it says it all, so I thought I would share it in today's post. I had also posted the link on my sidebar recently to the first video of them which I had seen, but I will post it again below in case you might have missed it. It is a touching story that has left an indelible mark in my heart forever. Enjoy the following special moments.Here is the article!I try to be ...

World Gratitude Day When : September 21stWorld Gratitude Day is your opportunity to show your gratitude and appreciation.The United Nations Meditation Group created World Gratitude Day to express appreciation for the great things that individuals and groups do. This recognition is on a global basis. According to their website: "World Gratitude Day presents an award to someone who we feel has done something outstanding in the spirit of Globalism."This group also suggests that you find something to be grateful for, and remember the feeling.On a smaller scale, seek to give gratitude and appreciation to people in your life who have done good deeds. It could be something as simple as a "thank you" or a card of thanks to someone. Or, you could offer some type of certificate or plaque of appreciation from a group you belong to, for contributions from individuals inside or outside of your group.Happy World Gratitude Day!"Gratitude is the most exquisite form of courtesy."-- Jacques MaritainG...

Surfin Pup!
2007-09-13 08:55:00
Photo courtesy of Don and Joan Dobbin I always love to hear a perfect ending to any story, and this story was one that fell near to my heart. It also reinforces to me that there really are some wonderful people in this world, some even ready to put their life on the line to save a drowning dog. Here is the article from the Muskegon Chronicle in Michigan. Drowning Dog Gets Surfboard Ride To ShoreThe waves on Lake Michigan Tuesday afternoon "were about as big as they get," surfer Matt Smolenski said. And the rip current along the Grand Haven pier was "really strong."One of those big waves swept a man's dog off the pier around 2:30 p.m., and it was Smolenski who rode a wave in to save the struggling pet, said off-duty Muskegon Heights police officer Royce Rodgers, who witnessed the rescue.Smolenski, 25, of Grand Haven "was able to grab the dog's collar," said Rodgers. "He put the dog up on his surfboard and the dog rode the surfboard in to shore.""When I got to the dog, it wasn...

E-7 along with several other New Zealand Godwits also known as Kuakas, were fitted with tracking devices in the early part of the year to track their migratory journey to Alaska and back to New Zealand. E-7 arrived back to Miranda, New Zealand at 3 am on Sunday. The incredible thing about her long journey was that she made a remarkable record and had travelled 11,500 miles one way non-stop. Her long and tedious non-stop migratory journey has broken all record making history for migratory birds. This must have been an unbelievable feat for her.

911: A Brother's Remembrance
2007-09-08 02:12:00
Tears In Heaven: Eric ClaptonNever Forgotten: VideoAs I sadly reflect on the events of September 11, 2001, I recalled having saved a poignant article written in 2002 by a gentleman who had lost his brother in the fall of the Twin Towers. It had inspired me so much when I had first read it, and I have read it over and over many times since. It seemed to epitomize to me exactly the feelings of every individual who had lost a loved one during those horrific events. His words are the embodiment of every good reason why we should be so thankful for what we have in this life, especially for those whom we hold so close and dear to our hearts. Let us never forget those victims, and the families and friends who must forever live with the memory of that fateful day. May God help us all.The article is a bit lengthy but every word worthwhile.The River and The CreekTranslated by Chi Chung February 20, 2002Moments before the World Trade Center was attacked, I called my brother from my office to s...

Remembering Luciano Pavarotti

Luciano Pavarotti October 12, 1935 - September 6, 2007 click arrow above on the left to hear Luciano Pavarotti singingNessun DormaYesterday was a very sad day for me as I heard of the passing of one of the most famous Tenors that ever lived. Luciano Pavarotti died at the age of 71 as a result of complications of Pancreatic Cancer at his home in Modena, Italy. It is a great loss for so many people throughout the world, and the opera, classical, and pop music stages will never be the same without the powerful voice and presence of this master performer who has pleased and overwhelmed the world for decades. I for one love classical music and opera more than any other kind of music and Luciano Pavarotti's music has always touched my heart so deeply. I have always considered him to be one of the most consummate performing artists in the world. I am fortunate to have a great collection of his music, and I hope by sharing the above song "Nessun Dorma" with you that you that you might find ...

Global Warming: Where Do We Go From Here?
2007-09-04 04:41:00
While the world always seems to balance on the brink of good and evil, the world also tethers on the edge of another foreboding dilemma, and it is that of global warming and its effects. Now there are many that believe that global warming is merely a hoax at its best, but how can one deny the facts that have been scientifically proven by some of the most intelligent scientific minds in the world, let alone the sheer evidence that we see flashing on our television screens every night while watching the news reports of the devastations occuring all around the world. Global warming is a real scenario, and there are consequences that will come to pass if we don't heed the call. I won't go into all the manifestations of global warming in this post as I am sure you have heard a good deal about it already, or maybe even too much. Now I am not a scientist by any means of the imagination, nor do I even belong to any environmental organization, but I am just a concerned citizen with a famil...

SODIUM: The Silent Killer?
2007-08-31 03:05:00
In 1966 I lost my dear Father to a cerebral hemmorhage. His stroke was very sudden and left the whole family in total shock. He was a young man, 53 years of age and in good health all of his life, other than the fact that he did have hypertension (high blood pressure). He always had frequent headaches, yet we always thought they were from the pressures of raising a large family and the stresses of working seven days a week. As I look back on my Father's hypertension, and having hypertension myself now for many years, and having regular headaches myself, I often wonder whether something could have been done back then to prevent his early demise. I would often note even as a young girl that he would use large amounts of salt on his food. I have analyzed over the years that whenever I have eaten anything salty I wind up with an excruciating headache, and I find it so totally agonizing. Now I have not cooked with salt for many years, nor do I put salt on any of my food items when eatin...

A Dog Day Afternoon
2007-08-23 06:48:00
Sometimes I find it hard to keep the lid on things, and today is just one of those days where I just have to let it all out. To begin with, let me say that I have been an avid dog lover all my life, and I still consider myself one even after reading of a news event which involved the mauling of a woman in Washington by two Pit Bull Terriers while she slept in her bed. This was not the first story of malicious dog attacks against people children, and other animals that I have read recently, but only one of many that have taken up in the news lately. There have been several attacks right here in New Zealand recently and I have read several also having taken place in America and other parts of the world....again just recently. It has become more and more of a problem that some pet owners just DO NOT know how to care for their pets, and perhaps also there are not enough rigid laws intact to make it necessary for owners to provide adequate habitats for their pets to assure the public of ...

Bussing On Shaky Ground
2007-08-18 02:21:00
Yesterday while I was on the bus going into our local town for a medical appointment a 'Special Needs' person boarded the bus a couple of stops after I had gotten on. After a few minutes this gentleman realized he had boarded the wrong bus and approached the driver to tell him that he was on the wrong bus. The bus driver immediately started growling a carrying on in a very cruel and inhumane way with this individual, and even went so far as to yell at the passenger saying, "What do you think I am, a mind reader?" The bus driver just wouldn't let up and carried on in a very bastardly manner towards this man. I happened to be sitting in the front seat of the coach and observed the whole scene and heard every word. I actually sat there frozen in shock as I just could not believe my ears. I wanted so badly to confront the driver, but he was driving, and I did not want to get caught up in an argument or do anything to jeopardize the rest of the passengers on the bus while the bus was ...

A New Zealand Teen Making A Difference
2007-08-13 04:34:00
While watching the evening news last night, I heard the news anchor woman relate the story of a New Zealand teen, Hugh Campbell from Waikanae Beach, who several months ago had broken his neck and injured his spine in a diving accident. He was the Wellington breast stroke champion swimmer for the region, and a hopeful for the Olympics. I was so touched with the presentation about Hugh, and so admired his candor and positive attitude, and his courage to face his future in a wheelchair. He will surely be a role model to many young teens, and a fine example to many others of how important it is to be hopeful in achieving one's goals. View the video interview with Hugh Campbell HERE.
