Comforting words!

Those who love you are not fooled by mistakes you have made or dark images you hold about yourself. They remember your beauty when you feel ugly; your wholeness when you are broken; your innocence when you feel guilty; and your purpose when you are confused.

Here and how

Seems to me that many (if not all) religions* give comfort and hope to people for what happens “after”. However, are all of them equally active in doing some good now, in this world we live in? I salute those people who give selflessly to improve the lives of fellow human beings who may or may not have the same beliefs.

* Including notorious cults.

Triumph

A good quote for Friday afternoon!

The difference between try and triumph is a little ‘umph’.

Healthy dose of creativity

Just saw a mention of this website on a gadgets blog: Running from camera.

As mentioned on the site, the idea is very simple:

Put the self-timer on 2 seconds, push the button and try to get as far from the camera as possible.

Check out some of the interesting shots!

Happy New Year!

The following quote may not be totally unfamiliar to many of us. However, it seems very appropriate as we head into a new decade.

“Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them – work, family, health, friends, and spirit – and you’re keeping all of those in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls – family, health, friends, and spirit – are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged, or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life.”

Brian G. Dyson, speaking at Georgia Tech’s 172nd commencement address in September 1996.
