I hope everyone took some time to reflect on how precious life is after the events of the last few days.  From the bombings in Boston to earthquakes in Pakistan and Iran and civil unrest in Venezuela we just never know when our number is going to be called.  The best we can do is to live a good life and try to make others happy.

“I believe that if, at the end of it all, according to our abilities, we have done something to make others a little happier, and something to make ourselves a little happier, that is about the best we can do. To make others less happy is a crime. To make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts. We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try.”
