12-21-12 : a day to remember

Whether or not the Mayans are correct, 12-21-12 is a very significant day. Of all the numbers available, they chose a date when i first saw the light more than four decades ago and made many people smile . My wish: i can still feel my family's and friends' presence via FB the day after, Dec.22. Before we all disappear, let me greet you with a hug and say " WORLD PEACE" Let us leap together for a blissful future- As Oprah Winfrey would say: "Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough". To those who became part of my more than four decades of wonderful existence, the frog prince gives homage to you.http://kapitankokak.blogspot.com/2010/12/life-starts-at-forty.html
