Giving

A Very Important Job.

This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody , Nobody and Anybody.

There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. 

Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.  Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody’s job. 

Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realised that Everybody wouldn’t do it. 

It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have.

Wow.During these uncertain financial times we will all have extreme challenges we must face.  How are you going to deal with them?  Will you just bury your head in the sand(or snow)?  Will you just think about yourself?

Or will you realize that we are all one.  That we are part of a bigger whole. But bald guy what can I do?  What can I give ? I am just getting by myself? I don’t have much. Well…

Today give a stranger a smile.  It might be the only sunshine he sees all day. -H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

Maybe you could…

Treat everyone with politeness, even those who are rude to you-not because they are nice, but because you are. -  Unknown

Or offer a compliment to someone you know.  Or better yet someone you don’t.

Marge, you’re as pretty as Princess Lea and as smart as Yoda. - Homer Simpson

I can live two months on a good compliment. - Mark Twain

Or maybe just  a little of what you earn.

You make a living by what you get, but you make a life by what you give. - Unknown.

And if you want to know a great and easy way to learn and enjoy the benefits of giving money I would strongly suggest(and by strongly I mean go check it out) that you visit Todd Silva’s site www.GiveAwayADollarADay.com . I look forward to doing this every day.  I especially have a great time when the kids help me out.

Learning…Enjoying…Sharing

Yikes!

215.  That was the number staring back at me.

Now my jeans had been telling something was up.  But I wasn’t really paying attention.  I guess I needed a smack on the head.

215.  That number has done it for me.

So now what do I do. (more…)

On his eleventh hour of this eleventh day of this eleventh month let us take some time and remember.

Remember and be grateful for  all of the men and women who have and still are willing to give so much so that we can have this amazing freedom.

We are very lucky.

Just when everything was starting to feel comfortable.  Bam!

Last week was one of those fantastic weeks.  You know those ones .  When everything goes according to plan.

I helped install the insulation in a Yurt.  It is a glorified tent where my sister, her partner and 5 month old daughter live.And no I am not joking.

My nephew was born.  Hi Vaughn.

Pat O’Byan thought my comment was amazing.  He even did a follow up blog just to answer the question.  I encourage all of you to read it.  Especially anyone interested in marketing online.  Here is my side of the story. http://blog.baldguyinabluehouse.com/law-of-attraction/pat-obryan-is-a-great-teacher

I had contact with an author who might write about my story and the website.  Pretty cool.

The weather was unusually warm and sunny. It was fantastic.

And the Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Montreal Canadians on Saturday night. Sorry Al.

And then…. (more…)
