And yes, she did a heck of a job! -Today, I met the prettiest woman on a plane. Assuming I wouldn’t see her again after we made our connections, I told her how pretty I thought she was.

Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful.  ~Buddha As I journey through life, I realise that I am privileged I don't have enough food to eat, but I got something to eat. Someone is hungry out there I don't like my dress Someone is putting on a rag I don't like my house Someone does not have a home I don't like my school Someone out there can't go to school I finally realise that what I don't like Someone out there is craving for my life. Why should I not be thankful? Why should I not be Thankful?
