Sometimes you can’t see the forest because of the trees. It’s all around us, you just have to look. We’ve heard these sayings throughout our life, but what do they mean? Our lives are constantly changing and it can be a good thing if we can accept the changes around us and move on with…

For the most part, I do like surprises. Good surprises especially. I recently had one that still has me smiling. I had taken my snow blower in to be repaired and a friend of mine suggested a retired mechanic to do the work. When it was time to pick it up, I went with my…

There are a lot of things that people within our society take for granted sometimes. We’ll take for granted that we’ll have food to eat every day, a roof over our heads and clothes on our back. To quite a few people those aren’t really reality. They work very hard week after week to keep…

Recently I was at the Canadian International Auto Show with my two young sons. It’s always fun to go to the Auto Show as many people found out. http://bit.ly/zoK71y I had also taken my dad with me as he was looking for a new vehicle. He figures it may be within a year or so when…

Sometimes we have too many choices in our lives; too many for our own good. Deciding where to live, what to eat, who our friends will be and what to drive can become difficult decisions. With so many choices in our lives, how on earth can we decide which vehicle to buy when need a…
