Life is a Special Occasion!
Hallmark
Today is Human Rights Day which was created by the United Nations and promotes awareness of the importance of Human Rights issues around the world. On this date in 1948, the UN General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Human rights is something we easily take for granted in the United States. Elsewhere, freedom and basic human rights are not a given.
Participate in this day by learning more about human rights issues around the globe. Offer your time and money in support of a human rights issue that is important to you.
It’s a day to acknowledge our rights and recognize those who defend them.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
We're all human, aren't we? Every human life is worth the same, and worth saving.
J.K. Rowling
We are very blessed here in the United States. Sometimes we forget just how good we have it compared to what others have.
We are only humans and the truth is that humans make mistakes. We are not perfect and don’t live in a perfect world, but that shouldn’t stop us from trying. There is always time to be kinds, to share with others and to help when we can.
We have choices to make every day of our lives, and the best choices are those that include what we can do for others. Take time, especially this time of year to show how much you care.
The pictures today are just a few of the many Christmas pictures taken of my family last year.
I hope you all have a GREAT day, Happy Thursday !
COUNTING MY GIFTS
The best things in life are free.
B.G. DeSilva
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
3388. for my life, I’m free to live as I choose
3389. for basic needs, food, water and shelter
3390. for all the people in my life, I’d be nothing without them
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!

Such great pictures :) We indeed are lucky to live in United States; its not perfect by far, but so much better than other countries as far as our rights. We definitely never should take them for granted and should be grateful for them indeed.
