Test your news IQ

If you feel you are up on current events you may want to try this quiz. I passed (7/13) but likely by guessing a lot, also I don't live in America.  It asks if you recognize a bunch of prominent people in America news. I would recognize Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield, he has been in the news a lot lately.

I was in church yesterday.  It was cold and windy although sunny.  The priests were full of prayers for our new Pope Francis.  It was also coffee Sunday, put on by the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic charity group, so after mass I had a nice cup of coffee and some Timbit donuts.  At this time of year, they are pushing for Sharelife donations, similar to the United Way drive.

Here are some pretty flowers to brighten your day:

Inspiring Conversation



I enjoyed listening to this wonderful and inspiring conversation  from space between Canadian Astronaut Chris Hadfield and William Shatner, another Canadian.

According to this article, flowers do make you happy, give you a sense of well-being, lower your anxiety and depression levels and make you more energetic.  I just like them and am happy to know they provide such benefits.



Have a Happy Valentine's Day!  We should have some chocolates.
