This is kinda cool

Now that I have discovered you can "blog" via email, I may be blogging on a more regular basis. The previous "test" entry was to test the email posting...and obviously it works like a charm.

I was watching The Philanthropist on NBC.com earlier and I just couldn't get into it. It had nothing to do with the lead character, played by James Purefoy, or the subject matter, which was actually pretty interesting. I just couldn't stick with it. Maybe I have too many other shows right now that are taking up all my useless knowledge space in my brain. All I know is, people who have the money to give back to those less fortunate are all heroes in my book. Regardless of how famous they are or how public they make their business.

The past couple of years I have participated in a walk for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society in honor of my mother. Each time, I lament that I can't give as much as I want to for the cause. I applaud the businesses that donate their time and services to events such as this one. In college, I walked at a Relay for Life...my first charity event...and I couldn't believe how amazingly simple it was. If only everyone in the country, in the world, could take one day out of their lives and participate in something like that. Anything.

But being charitable is more than that. It's simply the act of being kind. And that is something that everyone can do.
