Good Karma

My wife sent me this chain letter. Instead of forwarding it on as another email, I am posting it on my blog. This will allow the entire online world to view. I am asking the universe to share this blog entry or something better (more on that later).

Good Karma
This is a nice reading, but short. Enjoy! This is what The
Dalai Lama has to say for 2006. All it takes is a few seconds
to read and think over. Do not keep this message. The mantra
must leave your hands within 96 hours. You will get a very
pleasant surprise. This is true for all – even if you are not
superstitious… or of whatever religious belief… Faith…

1. Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
2. When you lose, don’t lose the lesson.
3. Follow the three R’s:
1. Respect for self,
2. Respect for others and
3. Responsibility for all your actions.
4. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
5. Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.
6. Don’t let a little dispute injure a great relationship.
7. When you realize you’ve made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
8. Spend some time alone every day.
9. Open your arms to change, but don’t let go of your values.
10. Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
11. Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you’ll be able to enjoy it a second time.
12. A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for
    your life.
13. In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don’t bring up the past.
14. Share your knowledge. It is a way to achieve immortality.
15. Be gentle with the earth.
16. Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before.
17. Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.
18. Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.
19. Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon.
    

What I did not include is how many people you have to send this to to improve my life. I believe that sharing this with everyone will improve everyone's life, mine included.

I think these pictures are great!

Went Diving on Saturday with my new camera

I purchased a new camera for my Underwater Digital Photography class. I figured I should purchase something inexpensive to practice with before taking my Canon 30D underwater. So I bought a SeaLife DC500, and yet they have already come out with the DC600. I do recommend this camera, it is very easy to use and can be used on land as well.

On to the pictures (Note: I have not touched them up yet):
