Gifts: Given and still giving

Image from Bestuff. You turned on the light "The love you give brings so much light, like a beacon in the night. removing the fear and the fright. Confronting shadows, blacked strife, defeating death, reviving life, fanning the ash, defending my heart. Hearts are breaking, souls are aching, but you turned on the light. You turned on the light, and made things right when they were broken and you removed the dark and lit a spark that was smoldering. How can it be I have a life? How can some good come from such strife? Something in me can turn out right. Giving value to the slight. Fueling dreams, inspiring sight - burning a path to realties might. Lives are changing, hope is gaining - because You turned on the light You turned on the light, and made things right when they were broken and you removed the dark and lit a spark that was smoldering.

You bet your life, sharing works!

You bet you life DVD The other day my husband Ian and I were watching old episodes of "You bet your life!" with Groucho Marx. The show really held up in humor over all the years since it originally piloted on television in 1949. The premise of the show is rather simple. Groucho interviews his contestants and eventually asks them quiz questions where they can win varied amounts of prize money. When a couple wins the greatest amount of prize money, they have the choice to spin a wheel for a chance to greatly increase their winnings. In most cases, the couples that win the quiz part decide to keep what they have already won, instead of trying for the big money. In contrast to the game shows of current day, if a contestant won $500.00, they would eagerly go after any opportunity to win more money. Today, the $500.00 dollars simply wouldn't be enough. One other thing I noticed was the willingness to share that was displayed by the contestants on "You bet your life"....
