Welcome back to this weekly (as opposed to weakly) attempt to “Occupy the Blog-o-Sphere” each Thursday. I offer this hopefully uplifting message to brighten your day and bring something buoyant into your life. As you move through your day with a renewed, more light-hearted outlook, may you pass the good vibes along.

Seriously, People. Mom and I wish you all the best that life has to offer. And don't worry about the Mayan Prophecy. Personally, I think someone's chisel slipped, they got fired (maybe literally), and then never got back to the calendar because they were being attacked. Stuff like that happened back then.
