Ever feel a little disconnected from the world?

So, I am at work waiting for an appointment to arrive (knowing it most likely will not show), and I check out facebook, which leads me to a friends blog, which leads me to this great and random urge to click on the "next blog" at the top of my friends blog. It allowed me to feel a little closer to my world as I came across so many blogs from other countries. Some I was only able to look at the amazing pictures from around the world, some would have a poem in English and the rest of the text in Dutch, and some were from right here in our own back yard. I stumbled across a blog by a third grade class, and there was a picture of a teacher kissing a cow. I ran into one that was all on semi conductors which was neat for the simple fact that the author was excited about what he wrote and what he does.

In this time where the media says we should be so sad, take a minute and look around at how happy we are and how great life can be.
