.....and of course most importantly, thousands of our soldiers who are fighting this so-called "war" in Iraq and Afghanistan. I wish their families peace and harmony.I just hope that they return to their families safe and healthy.

We so seldom realize that death is a part of life...the ending part, yet, we do things like we will live forever. Life, everywhere, has become so mechanical. Everything we do revolves around "power" or/and "money". Look at Dick Chenney....give me a break...he has a pace-maker supporting his life, yet, he does not show any signs of compassion or kindness! This is my personal opinion...and I'm sure there are many who would agree. I still hope that whatever is happening in this world presently, will only make us open our eyes and senses to the more beautiful things in life. Atleast if we cannot do good to others, let's not do any bad either...right? I would apply this to our own personal lives as well as when it comes to countries as a whole...one country to another!

So much for now...more later! Have a fun-filled and safe holiday! Hope the coming new year will be good to people all over the world.
