Eid Mubarak

In the following five days, we celebrate a joint occasion: Thanksgiving and Eid ul Adha.

Regardless of what religion you follow and what culture you belong to – and it could be any day really, and anyone passing through here – I hope that during this period we can focus our collective conciousness on the sharing of goodwill, and giving thanks for all the positive aspects in our lives.

Happy holidays and stay safe wherever you are.

Do the Pink Glove Dance

When any of us mentions the word cancer, our voice level tends to go down and the word reverberates in the air like an anathema. Many of us would opt not to go for cancer screening simply because we are afraid of the results. Often, however, early detection and treatment does save lives.

When someone you love has cancer, the last thing he or she needs is a debilitating sense of doom and morbidity. It’s hard enough dealing with the disease without having to deal with other people’s fears of their own mortality.

Cancer patients need a positive uplifting environment where there is not only love and support but also a happy lighthearted rapport between surrounding  family and friends. A sense of humour is a vital part of  healing and recuperation. If anything, smiling and laughing makes us feel better regardless of the situation we are facing.

Thanks to Melody for sharing.
