I thought your blog was very appropriate Limestone.  It is time we started turning things around - and it will start with being more positive.  Good thoughts.  I got to thinking that we might want to make a change in the blogs during this holiday season; we've spent a lot of time on politics, sports, the economy - and yet, I don't think we have focused enough on the actual character traits that make up the Little Rox story.  I thought it might be interesting if we took each of the character traits and tried to come up with a couple of people who we think embodies the specific trait, and the examples can be past or present. I'll start out with Compassion: feeling sorrow for another who is stricken by misfortune and a strong desire to alleviate their suffering.  As an example, I might simply say the American people who came to the aid of the victims of Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Ike, the tsunami, and those who give to the United Way, Red Cross, Toys for Tots, feed families at Thanksgiving and Christmas, donate to diseases like cancer,

cystic fibrosis, heart disease, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases.  My hat is off to them - they show true compassion for their fellow man.  How's that for a start?  How about you other Little Rox, ready to try it?
