A simple act of kindness, is any gesture big or small, that you can do for someone else. Many of us forget each day, to do or say something kind, to someone else. Kindness can be as contagious as laughter or even sadness. All it takes is one person to start it, to effect everyone around them. Imagine how happy the world would be, if each person did or said something nice, to one person, each day. There are so many different ways, that you can be kind to other people. Kindness is like a prayer, neither have to cost money, they can be done anywhere and only take a few seconds of your time. When you see someone in public, that looks sad, it only takes a moment to say something nice, to make a person smile. Pay someone a compliment about their hair, eyes, car, clothes or anything. It only takes a second to hold a door open for someone else, entering a door, that you are entering. If you are driving in traffic, is it really going to hurt, to let a car cut in front of you.

I was introduced to triple crown racing, when I was a bartender. The establishment that I worked at offered Simulcast Racing. It didn't take much persuasion for me to jump in on the excitement and become addicted to the thrill of the race.

There are many Simulcast racing outlets across America, that offer the best front row seats, for each race. Most Simulcast sights, have a party for each of the three races. The establishment that I worked at, had promotions and gave away prizes. The party always started, when the horses were d...

Yesterday, I had a long conversation with my 85 year old grandmother, I told her my personal goals and what I hope that I can achieve in my life. Her response was, "Bobbie, you have big dreams." I reminded her that everything started with someone having a dream, some bigger than others. To make her understand what I was talking about, I pointed out what the world was like when she was a child. I reminded her that when she was a young girl, people were still using a horse and buggy for transportation. Because of someone having a dream or dreaming big, the auto industry eliminated the horse and buggy. In her life time, she has seen television change from the big box, black and white to flat screen, big screen, colored, hi definition. The telephone has changed drastically in her life time as well, there are no longer telephone operators connecting calls and eaves dropping on conversations. The cell phone has replaced the land line phones. All of this was possible, becaus...
