It could not be easier to donate to a very worthy cause:

The band, Five for Fighting, is generously donating $0.49 to Autism Speaks each time this video is viewed. The funding goes toward research studies to help find a cure. When you have a moment, please visit the link below to watch the video and pass it along. They are aiming for 10,000 hits, but hopefully we can help them to surpass this goal

Please, if you have a few moments to spare, click here and help in this endeavor to assist children afflicted with autism.

We’ve all no doubt faced a time in our lives when we had to opt to forgive or simply walk away and carry the burden of a grudge forever.

The Anchoress has penned a wonderful post about the power of forgiveness:

I was at Adoration earlier today and wondering about saints and heroes, and whether it is “easier” sometimes to be a “hero” when things are clearly one or the other - good or bad, black or white - than when things are ambiguous and blurred as so much is, in our age. And I wondered too whether it’s easier to be merciful, when a hurt against you is huge and very, very clear, when it is a “hurt” that you know is going to be with you every day for the rest of your life…maybe when it’s that crystaline - so obvious that you don’t need Oprah or Dr. Phil to tell you you’ve been hurt - you have to forgive or you can’t move on, either. Maybe if you can’t forgive…you kill your own spirit.

As for the answer to the question posed in the title of the post, I believe the answer is yes.

I wonder how the people in Minnesota or London feel about all the global warming talk.

A novel idea indeed..don’t complain about the economy affecting your small business, rather set out to find a way to keep afloat:

These folks deserve an A for effort and ingenuity.

Last but not least , mans best friend once again comes to the rescue:

Harriet, an only child and now 11, spent most of her childhood in a wheelchair - until Yeppa, a Hungarian wire-haired Vizsla, arrived.

Remarkably the dog, which Harriet lovingly describes as “her best friend”, has enabled her to walk.

“I can get about without my wheelchair now,” she says enthusiastically from the garden of the cottage where she lives with her mother, a hairdresser, and father Adrian, 46, who owns a cleaning firm, in Hawridge, a quiet Buckinghamshire village.

“I can even walk on my own for short distances without my special walking frame. It’s all thanks to Yeppa.”

And now, because of her trusted companion, Harriet is about to undergo an operation that it is hoped will help her to walk completely independently.

It was in recognition of the incredible assistance Yeppa gives Harriet that she and her beloved pet won the Friends For Life award at this year’s Crufts.
