It's a new week... break out the Advil!

Dear Bloggy,
Wow. Last week was stupefying with the amount of cultural, artistic and entertaining activities I participated in... but more on that later. I have a HUGE painting job to do for the Kahuna Grill, which will be opening this month in Paseo Neuvo Mall downtown. I have a Thursday deadline and it's Tuesday. I'm nowhere near being finished, which is precisely why I'm taking time out to write a quick blog. It's called PROCRASTINATION, folks, and sometimes it actually helps me to get things done. Huh? What? By that I mean I've been meaning to write more blogs and now I'm doing it while I should be doing something else. So the getting done of things is just not in the right order, I suppose.
I've spent a lot of years being hedonistic and just generally having a good ol' time, and lately my thoughts have been turning to how I can make the world a better place.
I don't know where to start. Try being in a better mood? Smile at strangers more? Stop and help someone out on the road? We all have a cause we care about whether it's finding a cure for cancer, saving the environment, finding homes for abandoned pets or people or some other worthwhile cause. I desperately want to leave the world a better place for my having been here, and that's not an easy thing. You have to figure out your passion and go for it. But does your passion help others?
I set my homepage on my computer to GOODSEARCH.COM. If you don't know about them, you should. It's a search engine like Google, (God love Google, I know I do), but Goodsearch donates something to your favorite charity every time you search! My charity is PANCAN, the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. It's something that hits close to home. So every day I can donate a small amount just by doing something I'd be doing already anyhow. It's a really small step, I know, but they've raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for non-profit charities around the world. So check it out.
OK, back to work with me. LOTS and LOTS of fun news coming up, but until then, I hope you are well and happy.
I love you lots,
Sheryl

I inclination not concur on it. I assume warm-hearted post. Particularly the title attracted me to review the unscathed story.
