To The Greatest Dad In the World
Some things will always be in style.
Good solid things like honesty and trust and caring about people.
It’s qualities like these that keep us aware of who we are,
And what we can give to life.
It’s qualities like these, Dad, that you’ve taught me to value,
Through your influence, your example and your love.
It has made me love you very much,
And has made me very proud to have you for my Dad.
Love always from your .
The above was written to my Dad for Father's Day, June 2000. Little did I know that in less than 5 years, he would be gone. He only lasted 2 years after my Mom. He was only 20 when they marred and simply couldn't go on without her.
Gone but never forgotten.

Tigers have huge barbs on their tongues, larger versions of what a domestic cat has. Also, the more that a tiger curls his or her tongue when licking, the more prominent the barbs.
No wonder, when meeting someone, I don't want them to shake my hand. Give me a hug and it tells me a lot about you.
It was discovered in 1802 by a Royal Navy explorer. Despite the salt content levels (comparable to those of the Dead Sea), Lake Hillier is safe to swim in. However, there are very few ways to reach Lake Hillier.
Ferrari or Lamborghini? Which would you choose?
Get your mind out. of the gutter figuring if there's anything else unique that everyone has

I learned a long time ago, to accept Myself. for who I am.
I don't try nor want to be anyone else.
If you can't accept Me. for who I am, that's Your problem, Not Mine.

Froot Loops are the same flavour
Sure those sweetened O's are different colours, but that doesn't mean they are different flavours. Kellogg's has admitted that each Froot Loop is "froot flavoured" which they describe as "a blend of fruit flavours." Therefore there’s no difference between each one.
There is a country with no capital
Nauru is the only country in the world without an official capital city. The government offices of the tiny Pacific island nation are located in the Yaren District.
Humans and giraffes have the same number of neck bones
feet is how long the average giraffe's neck is while a human being's neck averages just four inches. Yet both have the same number of bones in their necks: Seven.
Most Canadians live south of Seattle
The contiguous United States goes farther north than you think and the majority of Canadians live near the southern border. The result? At 45 degrees latitude, Seattle is farther north than Toronto and Montreal, meaning that 64 per cent of Canadians live south of Seattle.
Polar Bears aren't white
Polar bears aren't white at . Their skin is black and the hairs in their fur are hollow and clear. So why do they look white? Light hits their fur and is trapped inside the hollow part of the hair, causing a reaction called luminescence. In addition, salt particles stick the bears' fur and act as light-scattering particles.
Anne Frank and Martin Luther King, Jr. were born the same year
The two seem so far apart in history but both figures were born in 1929—January fifteenth for King, and June twelfth for Frank.

Is Attitude Everything?

Many years ago, these words were on a hand-out at a dear friend's funeral. They accurately define how she embraced life and still resonate. Given all that is happening, I feel they are worth sharing here:
Attitude
The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on my life.
Attitude to me. is more important than facts.
It is more important than the past, than education, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do.
It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill.
It will make or break a company...a church...a home.
The remarkable thing is, we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for the day.
We cannot change our past....we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way.
We cannot change the inevitable.
The only thing we can do is play. on the string we have and that is our attitude.
I am convinced that life is ten percent what happens to me. and ninety percent how I react to. it.
And so it is with you.
We are in charge of our attitudes.

All The Things You Are Not and What You Are

You are not your age,
Nor the size of clothes you wear.
You are not a weight,
Nor the colour of your hair.
You are not your name,
Nor the dimples in your cheeks.
You are the books you read,
And the words that you speak.
You are the sweetness in your laughter,
And every tear you have cried.
You are the songs you sing so loudly,
When you think you are alone.
You are the places you have been ,
And the ones that you call home.
You are the things that you believe in,
And the people that you love.
You are the photos in your bedroom,
And the future that you dream of.
You are the person you see in the mirror,
and the one who smiles back at you.
You’re made of so much beauty,
But it seems that you forgot,
When you decided that you were defined,
By all the things you’re not.

Like other Canadians across the country, I cannot fathom the tragedy of Canada’s worst mass shooting that struck the beautiful province of Nova Scotia last weekend.
Words do not seem sufficient. My heart and condolences go out to all those directly affected. Life will never be the same.

Coronavirus Letter To Humanity

The earth whispered but you did not hear.
The earth spoke but you did not listen
The earth screamed but you turned her off.
And so I was born...
I was not born to punish you..
I was born to awaken you..
The earth cried out for help...
Massive flooding. But you didn't listen.
Burning fires. But you didn't listen.
Strong hurricanes. But you didn't listen.
Terrifying Tornadoes. But you didn't listen.
You still don't listen to the earth when
Ocean animals are dying due to pollutants in the waters.
Glaciers melting at an alarming rate.
Severe drought.
You didn't listen to how much negativity the earth is receiving.
Non-stop wars.
Non-stop greed.
You just kept going on with your life..
No matter how much hate there was..
No matter how many killings daily..
It was more important to get that latest iPhone than worry about what the earth was trying to tell you..
But now I am here.
And I've made the world stop on its tracks.
I've made YOU finally listen.
I've made you take refuge.
I've made you stop thinking about materialistic things..
Now you are like the earth...
You are only worried about YOUR survival.
How does that feel?
I give you fever.. As the fires burn on earth.
I give you respiratory issues.. As pollution fills the earth air.
I give you weakness as the earth weakens every day.
I took away your comforts..
Your outings.
The things you would use to forget about the planet and its pain.
And I made the world stop...
Start believing in a Creator.
Because next time I may come back even stronger....
Signed, And now...
China has better air quality. Skies are clear blue because factories are not spewing pollution into the earth's air.
The water in Venice is clean and dolphins are being seen. Because the gondola boats that pollute the water are not being used.
YOU are having to take time to reflect on what is important in your life.
Again I am not here to punish you.. I am here to Awaken you...
When all this is over and I am gone... Please remember these moments..
Listen to the earth.
Listen to your soul.
Stop Polluting the earth.
Stop Fighting among each other.
Stop caring about materialistic things.
And start loving your neighbours.
Start caring about the earth and all its creatures
Coronavirus

Tribute to International Women's Day

International Women's Day grew out of the labour movement and has become an United Nations recognized annual event.
The origins began in 1908, when fifteen thousand women marched through New York City demanding shorter working hours, better wages and voting rights.
I found these words a few ‘yrs’ ago. I felt strongly enough that I posted them then and feel the same today:
The world is filled with people who, no matter what you do, no matter what you try, will simply not like you. But the world is also filled with those who will love you fiercely. The ones who love you; they are your people.
Don't waste your finite time and heart trying to convince people who aren't your people that you have value. They will miss it completely. They won't buy what you are selling.
Don't try to convince them to walk your path with you because you will only waste your time and your emotional good health.
You are not for them and they are not for you. You are not their cup of tea and they are NOT yours.
Politely wave them along and you move away as well.
Seek to share your path with those who recognize and appreciate your gifts, who YOU are.
Be who YOU are! You are not everyone’s cup of tea and that is OK

One of the most popular male bloggers has gone ‘poof’.
Has he packed up his pen and paper and left ply his writing skills elsewhere?
Has he decided step back, take a break, re-energize and will be back? Guess we will just have wait and see.
Whatever the reason, his presence is missed.
