Love Life

     You never fully appreciate something until you lose it.  It is almost impossible to see the true value of everything until we live without it.  Honestly, how many of you are grateful that you can climb a flight of stairs?  How about that you can listen to the radio?  Drive a car?  Watch the snow fall?  Talk to your parents?  Flip a light switch on when it gets dark?  Turn on the hot water in the shower every day?

     There is also a difference between acknowledging that you have more luxuries in life than someone else, and truly appreciating their value.  How would you feel if you woke up one day and could no longer walk up a flight of stairs?  If you could not walk, then you would see how wonderful the gift you had was, but all too late. 

     We should value what we have in life today, and not dwell on what we lack.  Tomorrow will take enough from us; we should treasure what we have today, while we still have it.  Live, laugh, and love life!

Million Dollar Idea: "HOT" Cookware

After we turn five, or burn ourselves (whichever comes first), we know that stoves, ovens, cook tops, hobs, etc, are hot. But we are human. We forget. We get busy. We get distracted. I think there should be a complete line of cookware (pots, pans, anything that can get hot...maybe even stoves themselves) which would have the word "hot" appear for as long as it is hot. Let's face it, a hot and cold pan look the same. This would be an extra clue to remind you that the pan you took out of that 400*F oven may still be hot.

Random Thought(s) of the Day

I don't always see what other people see.  I don't mean like "I see dead people..." But my mind works in different ways than most.  I have the ability to see what could be, and this is why I am always shooting for the moon, chasing after my dreams.  But that's another story.  I also get random thoughts when I look at ordinary objects.

For example:

Does anyone else see a strip of bacon when they see this sign?

Or does anyone else see Squidward when they see one of these in the bathroom?

And that is a brief view into how my mind works.
