Weekly Photo Challenge: Resolved
A New Year’s resolution I can keep: Buy more flowers. Not every day or week, but certainly more than the 3-4 times a year that has been my habit. These are the first flowers of 2013.

Christmas Truce
Peace to all
In 1914, during the Great War (World War I), an unofficial truce took place on Christmas Day along the Western Front. Some German and British soldiers took it upon themselves to celebrate Christmas by stopping the war, greeting each other, exchanging what small items they had as gifts (cigarettes, chocolate, etc.) and playing a soccer game. Peace broke out in more than one area and in more than one year.
There is a memorial in Ypres, Belgium commemorating this truce that was lead by the soldiers themselves.
This is my favorite Christmas story.
A Gift
Gift suggestions: To your enemy, forgiveness. To an opponent, tolerance. To a friend, your heart. To a customer, service. To all, charity. To every child, a good example. To yourself, respect.
Treat these as gifts for each day.
Be a light in the darkness
Try Again
I was surfing the web yesterday, perusing some quotes about the sun. The weekly photo challenge for this week is “The Sun” and I wanted to find a quote to accompany my (upcoming) photo.
A survey box popped up and instructed me to answer the questions as a requirement to continue looking at the list of quotes. It said there were two questions. Two questions wasn’t bad, I thought, so I took the survey.
Question 1: Was I a health professional? No.
Question 2: Did I prepare most of the meals in my house? No.
Two questions, two answers and I expected to be on my way.
No.
The survey pop-up box remained visible and all the subsequent quotes were still grayed out. The message the survey box gave me? Try again.
I guess it didn’t like my answers. I left that web site and found another one with quotes, a web site that would let me read its content even though I didn’t prepare most of the meals in my house.
It's a long story ...
