From top to bottom shows you the response and counter-response over time. <br /> <br />The Catholics are displaying a much better sense of humor!

Here it is... I hope you find hope and inspiration here.<br /><br />I believe that a happy and fulfilling life can be created with surprisingly few elements:<br /><br />(in no special order)<br /><br />Eat. Breathe. Move. Laugh. And LOVE.<br /><br />I really believe that every challenge we face can be turned around by a combination of these five life choices.<br /><br />I'll post information I find interesting. If it is troubling, I'll suggest ways each of us can make an enightened difference.<br /><br />I look forward to creating a positive place in cyberspace for all of us.<br /><br />With love,<br /><br />Rob Richards<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/819589489647431581-7424435291700997996?l=anewwayoflookingatthings.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>ROB RICHARDShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15454476936152155697noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-819589489647431581.post-64173312337733611952008-03-16T20:34:00.000-07:002008-03-16T20:35:29.550-07:00Now THAT'S a HUG!<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6SV_8CRA_dE&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6SV_8CRA_dE&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><br />People in Cali, Colombia, are shocked to see the bond between a large<br />African lion and a woman who saved it from abuse, involving long,<br />affectionate kisses and hugs between the pair.<br /><br />Ana Julia Torres, who runs the Villa Lorena animal shelter in Cali, fed<br />and nursed Jupiter the African lion back to health years ago after it<br />was found abused and emaciated in a traveling circus.
