Here fishy fishy

Hi, most people like fish, not the kind to eat, though those are nice too.  I am speaking of the kind that swim in big monster tanks.  I am on vacation this week and I suggested to my wife that we take in the Ripley's Aquarium in Toronto.

The aquarium has some to coolest fish around, including Sharks and Stingrays.  What is also interesting is the fact that the aquarium also does more than display fish.  A visitor to the aquarium can actually pet a stingray, learn how to photograph sea life and yes one can even sleep in a glass tunnel while sharks swim above. 

The aquarium also has programs geared around education and yes they also let guests throw a birthday bash for adults and children alike.  Just an FYI the swimming with Stingrays, not this time. 

If you are in the Toronto area look the aquarium up.

Pay It Forward Day 2016 April 28th

To pay it forward. What does that mean. In a simple phrase, it means to do something for someone without any expectation of reward. It stems from being the on the other end of an act of kindness. I have been both the receiver and the person paying it forward. It is one of the greatest gifts to get and to give.

The smallest act, like buying a stranger coffee, giving flowers to a woman on a bus, or giving a blanket to a person on the street are acts of kindness.  Have you had a complete stranger be kind to you.  I have, simple things like an offer to buy me food, I actually had that happen one night recently. 

On April 28th it is Pay it Forward Day.  A day set aside to perform random acts of kindness.  To learn more about it visit http://payitforwardday.com.  I hope you will take t he opportunity to be kind everyday, but on this day it would be even more special to hear and see acts of kindness.

My challenge is for you to visit this page think of ideas and post them to facebook, lets see if we can really boost the level of kindness shown to our fellow human kind.  Then on April 28th go and do it PAY IT FORWARD.
