A 2 year old Czechoslovakian wolfdog joins the Women’s Cross Country Olympic event.
After joining the skier, she did cross the finish line.
I don’t know if the Milan Cortina Olympic committee had a metal for the wolfdog divisioon?
Nazgul is the dog’s name!
Hopefully, the next Winter Olympics will have a WOLFDOG DIVISION!

There are days when life seems to be such a struggle.
So, if we are going to struggle, why not make it worthwhile?
Let’s struggle to ACCOMPLISH, not merely to EXIST!
If you accomplish something worth doing, you’ll feel your day was well spent.
I have lived for many, many days.
I can assure you that a lot of them were NOT days of accomplishment.
It’s not too late.
Accomplish something TODAY!
Managing a successful business need not be complicated!
GENUINELY CARE FOR YOUR EMPLOYEES!
Do your employees feel they and their efforts are appreciated?
It’s important to give them positive feedback for their contributions.
You might say they already know how you feel about them.
Paying them well is not enough.
Do you tell them?
GENUINELY CARE FOR YOUR CUSTOMERS!
How about sending them a “Thanks for your recent order” card?
As a member of management, surprise a customer with a “Thank you phone call?”
Never, ever take a customer FOR GRANTED!!
NOT TODAY! NOT EVER!
His simple message was, “Keep Hope Alive.”
That message is always relevant.
May he rest in peace!
At the time, we had six kids under the age of eight.
It was Sunday morning Mass.
As we filed into the pew, a lady behind us whispered, “This will be a circus.”
My wife carried a large bag.
It contained six plastic ziplock bags filled with Cheerios.
She also distributed a book for each of the kids.
The last item was a wet washcloth in its own ziplock bag.
My wife, as always, was the ringleader.
We did not disappoint the lady behind us!
LOVE IS:
Visiting the elderly
Staying in touch with your lonely family members
Kirk Gibson opening a facility for those stricken with Parkinsons like him
Saying “I Love You” to your spouse and meaning it
Giving “one on one time” to each of your children
Opening the door for a complete stranger
Finding an opportunity to pay a compliment
LoveingYour Country!
Giving to a legitimate charity
Apologizing for a previous misdeed
Being quick to forgive.
Not taking your blessings for granted.
THANKING GOD!

When Jessica met Luke at a wedding for the first time, two words reverberated around her head: “That’s it.”
She felt an instant ease with him. A familiarity. Chemistry.
“You always hear, ‘when you know, you know,’” Jessica tells CNN Travel today.
“I never had any real experience with that myself until we met.”
As for Luke, he says he can “barely remember” life before meeting Jessica.
It was so overwhelming, so exciting, so inevitable.
Today, he can’t really connect with the twentysomething version of him that didn’t know her. (CNN)
Where did all the time go?
30,295 days!
How many did I spend wisely?
How many in some foolish pursuit?
Am I any wiser after being an active part of the human experience all these years?
Will I pass on what I’ve learned to our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren?
Or, will each and every one have to seek a direction best suited to them?
I hope my blogs will at least give them issues worth considering!
If not today, when?
CNN’s Chief Data Analyst Harry Enten has a warning for those married to the idea of blowing their budget on a dream wedding:
You may be raising the odds of a divorce.
The numbers tell us in marriage – as in life – there is real value in compromise.
Take Heed!
Yes, she broke her ACL in a race leading up to this year’s Milano Cortina Winter Olympics.
Yes, she decided to wrap her leg and compete anyway.
Yes, 13 seconds after her start, she hit a gate, and broke her left leg.
Yes, while in the helicopter on the way to the hospital, she was cheering for Breezy Johnson.
Breezy, a fellow American teammate, won GOLD in the downhill that day.
Lindsey has pushed the downhill to it’s limits throughout her career.
And she has PAID THE PRICE with too many injuries to count.
They always have a helicopter ready when she’s on the slopes!
