California Wildfires

My beloved California is under attack from this last weekends lightning storm.It sparked 800 fires within Northern California, and promises to get bigger with another predicted storm this weekend. Very few homes have been burned, but thousands and thousands of acres of beautiful forest land, beautiful trees and wildlife.

MY FAVORITE QUOTE

"If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the million who will not survive the week.

If you have food in your refridgerator, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of this world.

If you have money in the bank or in your wallet, you are among the top 8% of the worlds wealthy.

If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful, you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not"
