Love make the world go round
I believe God could stop all natural disaster,
or prevent us from making mistake,
or making unwise decision,
or being stubborn, selfish or rude.
But He did not.
I believe God made a world which
love can exist and grow.
In love, human beings pull together
and respond to suffering and calamity.
In love, we can help one another,
encourage one another,
forgive one another and
stand by one another.
Love truly make the world go round!
Happiness is …
…having a twin!

Joke of the day – The self-conscious businessman
The business was self-conscious because he had no ears. So, when he hired a manager, he asked each candidate, “Do you notice anything unusual about me?”
The first replied, “You have no ears.” He was shown the door. When the second candidate’s response was the same, he was also tossed out.
But the third guy had a different answer. “You’re wearing contact lenses,” he said. “How did you know?” the businessman gasped.
“Because people who have no ears have to wear contacts.”
Don’t cross your legs…
….it restricts circulation around the hip and thigh area can impede blood flow and increase the effects of cellulite!
Let the blood flow freely and sit with your legs together. Good circulation helps you to stay energized.

“The more you are thankful for what you have, the more you have to be thankful for.” – Zig Ziglar
Joke of the day – Food effects
Scientists have identified a food that, once digested, can have negative effects on people’s health that last for decades, including mood-swings in women, psychotic episodes in men and severe depression in both.
It’s called ‘wedding cake’.
