"I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death. "
Thomas Paine

A Wish For Everyone for Every faith

                                  At this very moment, for the people and the nations of the earth, may not even the words disease, famine, war and suffering be heard; but rather may their moral conduct, merit, wealth and prosperity increase and may supreme good fortune and well being always arise for them.
         This is whats written on flags that hang over my door. Many people have seen the flags but have never stopped to read the words. Its a simple prayer for everyone. No division of faith, no if you believe you get this. Just a simple prayer that everyone's life, regardless of faith, will get better. Is it not a shame that we don't wish others, even those who are different then us, good fortune without expecting them to think, pray or live like us?
We were all born, every human being on this planet, with out prejudice, religion, political feelings, hate or jealousy. We had to learn all that from our different influences. When each one of us were born all we wanted was to be happy and really that's all we want now. We just let all those petty negative things get in our way. Believe in this prayer, believe in happiness and light. Let go of the negative the small, the petty. When someone hurts you or is negative towards you. Be compassionate, forgiving, look at the person in sadness, because that is the cause for hurtfulness. Happy people don't say negative things, they don't hurt others. Think before you say or do something that's negative or hurts. Your life will improve, you will make a positive difference in your community and your world. You will be a happier person

The Coney Island Polar Plunge

  I was in Sedona Az. over the Halloween weekend. One night while in the condo, I thought I would check out last minute deals on Expedia. Then I thought I would check out where and when some of my favorite bands were playing. Turns out Gov't Mule is playing at the Beacon Theater on New Years Eve. Since my Mom lives in Brooklyn, I have a free place to stay. I quickly looked for a reasonable plane ticket, never expecting to find one, but after playing around with the dates a ticket was had and tickets quickly bought for the concert. Over the next few days, I looked on line at what else to do as I usually do before going to New York. There is SO much to do that if you don't do some research you can waste a lot of time. As I was looking a site about the Coney Island New Years Day Polar Plunge came up. I thought what great fun and you know there will be some alcohol involved! Ha,ha!!!!  After looking into it, I found out it was for this great cause. The whole thing is to raise money for Camp Sunshine. A camp run mostly by volunteers for sick kids and their families. You should check it out at www.campsunshine. What a great thing I thought. Not only am I going to have a hell of a time but I can also start off the year doing something good for someone else. So I would like for you to join me, if we all donate just a little we could make a big difference for these sick kids.
