Charity begins at home

I wrote in my blog yesterday about my son's involvement in the Make-A-Wish foundation fund raiser through his on-line comic Zoidland. In addition to his work, my daughter is also working hard at a fund raising event. She is training to do a triathalon in October for the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society in Dallas, Texas.

I am extremely proud of both of them. They take time out of their busy schedules to help make the world a better place.

This is something we should all strive to do. We all need to do our share to help each other and help the world.

I can hear you now... "I don't have time." or "What can I do, I'm only one person." or "I'm too busy/young/old/sick/etc."

One person can pick up a piece of trash on the sidewalk and toss it in a receptacle. One person can change lightbulbs from incandescent to condensed florescent. One person can write a letter - something to make someone else feel better or to a government official letting them know a point of view. One person is all it takes to make a change for the better.

Let that one person be you. Start today to make this a better world.
