Happy Valentine's Day!

I'm excited!

I joined the Bead Journal Project last year. It started in September and, as usual, I'm a little behind. Well actually more than a little - I just finished September. But I'm really pleased with the way it turned out and am anxious to start October. I plan to catch up by the end of March at the latest. Anyway please, please, please visit my stitching blog and look at it!

Spay Day

February 24th is the 15th annual Spay Day. Sponsored by The Humane Society of the US & Humane Society International, it is a way to encourage people to save lives by spaying or neutering their pets.

More than three million cats and dogs are euthanized killed each year in shelters. You'll notice I said euthanized and crossed it out. It sounds to clinical and unemotional. They are killed and if you don't spay/neuter your animals you are contributing to the problem. There is really no excuse for not having this done. If money is a concern there are low and no-cost programs sponsored by humane societies.

Animals are not toys and when you adopt a cat or dog you take on a responsibility. Part of that responsibility is to ensure they don't reproduce. I know, kittens and puppies are cute. They aren't so cute when they're starving or being killed.

The Vatican Channel

This is kind of cool. It's the YouTube Vatican Channel. You can watch a bunch of Vatican videos, listen to news and link to official Vatican stuff. Jill will probably never leave this one!

To Say Before You Die

I found these on a blog post called 50 things to say before you die. I'm only including a few here that I liked - if you want to read all of them click on the link! Now you may not want to say all 50 of them before you die but some may be worth saying to someone if you haven't already. Or maybe not.

• Thanks for everything you’ve done.
• You’ve changed my life.
• I’m doing what I was meant to do.
• I conquered my biggest fear.
• Glad to help you.
• I don’t care what people think.
• I’m proud of myself.
• I’ve never had more fun in my life.
• There’s more to life than this.
• I love you no matter what.
• I’m listening.
• I’m not giving up.
• I have all the time in the world.
• I’m not afraid.
