what do you love to do? how can you help others?

If you love to cook, you can put nourishment into this world. You can feed your family and friends. You can create a restaurant that brings people pleasure. You can help in a 'soup kitchen' feeding the poor. Or all of the above. If you love being around children, you can put nurturing into the world as a teacher, mentor, or parent. If you love gardening, you can put beauty into the world everywhere you go. If your answer is developing new technology, you could put wonderful energy into the world by finding ways of enriching it instead of destroying it. No matter what you love to do, there is no end to what you can do to help people.

I love reading, gardening, teaching and ... kids!!!

So what do you love to do?

Today is Gabriel's birthday. He is 5 years today. Here's a pic of him (2nd from left, standing) with his class and his teacher. He likes the girl 5th from the left, standing. Her name is Felicia.

I went out for a short meeting then proceeded to my son’s kindergarten to celebrate his birthday with his classmates. He had a Tom and Jerry cake, which made him quite happy.

Then sat in Raphael's Chinese class. His "lau sher" was teaching him and 5 others how to pronounce face features in Chinese. Can’t remember now how she pronounced “eye.” But boy was he ever cute saying it.

Tonight going to surprise grandmother with a cake. Her birthday also falls today.

Bucket List

One of my top 10 movies. The Bucket List. I've watched it 3 times. It's a hilarious movie about two guys who are given about 6 mths - 1 yr to live. They form a special friendship and decide to make a list of things to do together before they "kick the bucket."

So they plan some things like go skydiving ,do something good for someone, laugh so hard until they cry, etc.

What would you do if you have 6 mths to live?

This would be my bucket list (1st draft):

• Learn to cook my wife a meal
• Write couple of nice notes to people (still living) letting them know how much I love them, and the difference they made to my life
• Give away my wealth
• Relish the time with my children
• Make a video collage for my family or make a scrapbook as a parting "gift"
• Visit 3 countries I haven't been to. Go on a safari ride. Ride in a hot air balloon.
• Sleep in my garden often
• Get in touch with God

Life is good.
