  Have you ever wanted to give those that help you a reward?? I am with you and would have loved to. but never really had the opportunity but always say Thank you and try to return help whenever possible. However there is one individual who devised a way to say thank you to those that have a heart to strive and care the most. Alfred Nobel created the Nobel Prize. He created the world as he strived to find the world he much desired full of people who simply wanted to improve society thru the knowledge they held.  On October 11, 2002 the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Mr. James Earl Carter.

Ballet Day

  February 7th is National Ballet Day. It is a day that should you choose you can head out and watch a ballet performance. There are great ones in New York City that are known well. There are also ballets that may be less known but great as well. Did you know that there are over 757 ballet companies in the United States.    Perhaps you have thought about doing ballet yourself.  While most classes are for young people there are some classes meant for adults to learn.  Today, may be a great day for you to watch a movie about ballet. There are a few that would be perfect. Ballet offers a chance to watch beauty in motion. It all seems so innocent from the ballet steps to the costumes to the music it all goes together so well. Take some time and enjoy the world of ballet.  shared at  facebook group blog it better -- comment
