A man died and two other people were injured after a 35-year-old German man drove into a crowd standing near a bakery in the southwestern town of Heidelberg on Saturday, but the authorities said there were no indications that it was a terrorist attack.
Gratitude is the color
of great lives, the silver bullet, and the best
medicine! That’s because, people love to work
with grateful people; opportunities are drawn
where they are prized; resources are drawn
to where they are valued. The world around
us responds to our gratitude by making more
of everything we appreciate available to us.
Hear Oprah Winfrey when she says, “Keep a
gratitude journal. Every night, list five things
that happened this day that you are grateful
for. What it will begin to do is change your
perspective to your day and your life. If you
can learn to focus on what you have, you will
always see that the universe is abundant; you
will have more [of what you appreciate]. If
you concentrate on what you don’t have, you
will never have enough.”
Stay grateful. With the attitude of gratitude,
you will surely conquer great altitudes
You will come across many people in your life. They will all have a purpose to fulfill. Some will teach you a lesson and some will leave your soul wounded. Some will love you for their selfish motives and some will love you unconditionally. Some will cheat you, lie to you and stab you in your back. Learn from the lessons life teaches you and don’t waste your time on people who are there in your life for their convenience and who never take you seriously. Don’t allow people to use you for their happiness. Just be strong and don’t let anything break you or leave you shattered. Choose the people whom you want in your life. — Aarti Khurana
French Policeman Ahmed Merabet moments before he was murdered by terrorists on January 7, 2015 in Paris.
Today, I am furious. I am furious, because I just watched a brother die. He was a man I’ve never met, living in a country I’ve never seen, speaking a language I have never spoken, but he was a brother none the less. He stood on the front line, the one cloaked in blue, and gave his life in defense of others.

You can say sorry a million times, say I love you as much as you want, say whatever you want, whenever you want. But if you’re not going to prove that the things you say are true, then don’t say anything at all. Because if you can’t show it, your words don’t mean a thing. Don’t lie in order to satisfy somebody for a moment, because the pain that you cause them in the future can last them for a lifetime. — Unknown
I have been married for almost 6 months now. (“Awww!”) When you get engaged people ask you all kinds of questions;
“When is the big day?”
“How many bridesmaids do you have?”
“Are you excited?”
“Are you ready?”
“Are you sure you want to get married so young?”
“Where are you going on your honeymoon?”
But now that I’m married I mostly hear only one question.
“How is married life?”
I usually say something along the lines of “It’s good, I like it.” How do you answer this question? Marriage is so much more than good. I have had a hard time encompassing what marriage is like. Today, I opened the cabinet to get a bag of chips and I found the answer to the question.
My husband used a mouse trap as a chip clip. We have chip clips, four of them. But this is what I found in…

Anyone have the answer to this? It is crazy out there. I remember, as a child, there were four distinct seasons; summer, fall, winter and spring. Where did they go? Now we have hot, hotter, hottest, cold, colder, coldest. Now I don’t really want to get political here but if I must. Climate change. This seems to me to be the elephant on the page. Speaking of elephants, please sign the petition on Change.org regarding the treatment of elephants by the Ringling Brothers Circus. If you are an animal lover and protector like me your head will spin too. But wait, what do elephants have to do with weather? A lot my friend. Elephants or an incarnation thereof have survived many natural climate changes intact. Their secret? Adapt and leave no carbon footprint other than your bones. This crazy weather is due in part, I believe, to natural climate change…
