The holiday hangovers have faded and everyone's returning for grandma's house. It's back to school and work for most of us as the new decade makes its way through January. Even though it's only the 16th a lot has managed to happen.
Just when I thought it was a fairly peaceful start to a new year, the tragedy in Haiti began. Now, I don't know what your political/ personal opinions are, but, I think as a rich nation, we should come together and help the people of Haiti. Instead of joining bogus Facebook groups just go the extra mile to type in the URL for The American Red Cross, UNICEF, or Doctor's Without Borders. To make it easier I'll put the links here:
How could you refuse to help this face?
On the other end of the spectrum there has been the controversy of Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien. I believe that NBC has wronged Mr. O'Brien and they will regret their decision to kick him to the curb. So what his ratings are down for a bit? What, are the executives worried they'll some of their money? I think they could survive. Conan is a comic genius. I'm sorry if the majority of America doesn't understand his smart humor- God forbid America has to use their brains to understand a joke. Jay Leno, it is time to graciously retire and permanently hand over the torch to its rightful owner, Conan O'Brien. No one likes a selfish man...it's simply not classy and doesn't become anyone. Well no matter where Conan ends up, I support him 100% and I'm sure he'll be successful in what ever he chooses to do next.
So our lessons for today kids? When a person is in need, share the wealth. We are luck people to be living in a free country. No matter how much or little a person has there is always someone who has it worse. Tragedy happens to the best of us. I know I would want a helping hand if something where to altar my life in some earth shattering way. Like I said, selfishness doesn't become anyone. So, don't be like the bullies at NBC, it's not cool to kick a person when they're down. Helping a person in the smallest way can make a big difference in the world. So today, help someone in need.
Peace,
Catherine
