Thank you!

earthshadow.jpg Do you remember Seven Wonders of the Ancient World?
Let us recollect...

1. The Great Pyramid of Giza
2. The Hanging Gardens of Semiramida
3. The Statue of Zeus at Olympia
4. The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus
5. The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus
6. The Colossus of Rhodes
7. The Lighthouse of Pharos

That seems pretty straightforward but what about Seven Wonders of the Modern World?

A group of students were asked to list what they thought were the present "Seven Wonders of the World." Though there were some disagreements, the following received the most votes:

1. Egypt's Great Pyramids

2. Taj Mahal

3. Grand Canyon

4. Panama Canal

5. Empire State Building

6. St. Peter's Basilica

7. China's Great Wall

While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one student had not finished her paper yet. So she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list. The girl replied, "Yes, a little. I couldn't quite make up my mind because there were so many."

The teacher said, "Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help. "The girl hesitated, then read, "I think the 'Seven Wonders of the World' are:

The room was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop.
The things we overlook as simple and ordinary and that we take for granted are truly wondrous!

A gentle reminder - that the most precious things in life cannot be built by hand or bought by man.

don't be too busy to pass this along

This was magic. It gave me tingles when I read it. Goosebumps ran up and down my body. In a world full of money grabbing, war mongering psycos, there are still some precious jewels of people. Thanks to the collective.
Big love
