I believe

Remember I mentioned that I drafted up a nice little insightful blog entry a long while ago? Well, here it is, starting with a few entries I’ve written on th bus and I add some more. YOU are encourage to add even more to this in the comment section. 🙂 I BELIEVE… …in firm handshakes and hugs with right amount of “squish”. …that I can change the world by just holding the door open for someone. …that $1 donation matters. …that happiness is not defined by money.

Working Halloween

IMG_0288 Originally uploaded by theoakmonster. My office rocks. We had a BLAST at work. Productivity was a little low, but we still got our stuff done.

Hooray for Little Heart!

J.C. and baby Joshua are doing the DC Heart Walk in November …well Josh will be in stroller, but you know what I mean. J.C. & Erick’s son Joshua was born in August with a major congenital heart defect. He received surgery (thank god for all the advancement!) and is now doing fine at home.
