Life is short - begin every day with a smile!
Our amazing planet has a number of natural features that are so incredible it’s hard to believe they actually exist.
Many of these exotic natural features are popular tourist attractions that draw thousands of visitors every year.
Others are so remote that only the most daring and/or the most wealthy among us will ever have an opportunity to see them in person.

As you probably know, each and every one of us must occasionally go through a dark valley as we make our own individual journeys through life.
Can you remember a time when someone either said something or did something that brightened one of your darkest days?
I’ve always been intrigued by stories of creatures that are normally natural enemies becoming best friends and playing together as if they are family.
Today I’m going to share with you one such story…

In a previous post I wrote about the greatest gift I ever received from my dad.
Today, I’d like to expand on that theme a bit.
Do you crave lobster but consider it a rare treat due to its high cost?
Well, you were obviously born in the wrong century!
According to History.com and other reputable sources, when the Europeans first came to the new world lobsters were so plentiful (and therefore cheap) they were routinely fed to prisoners, apprentices, slaves and children.
The rich and powerful actually shunned lobster because it had a reputation for being “food for the poor”.
