Today, We Begin.

It is Christmas morning, and we are waiting. Waiting for our children, young men, now, to get up. Times have changed. They used to wake up early. And wake us up early. Now, we wake them up around 10:00, too early for their tastes. But, we get hungry.

These memories bring a smile to my face. And I am waiting for the dough to rise and throw the cinnamon rolls into the oven. What better time to launch this new blog.

It grew out of an exchange with +Trina Emmerson, about the power of kindness, and civility. We reasoned that smiling was the most powerful weapon the average person could employ in an effort to save the world from humanity.

Yes, we know it is a long shot, but if everybody would work to be a kinder, a little more polite, the world would be a better place.

So, we decided to start a blog dedicated to sharing stories of kindness, civility, and generosity.

Here is the first story.

A young man, a talented wrestler, who was riding the wave of an undefeated season sacrificed his perfect record to help a disabled competitor.

Anybody who competes in anything knows the difficulty involved in reaching the lofty heights of a perfect season. Such a generous act from a person so young.

Landon Towne, thank you. It was a wonderful thing you did. Finding the power in your heart to be so noble, and so kind, we here at Life Explained want to thank you, and offer your story as proof that the world can still be saved.

There are so many good things happening in the world, and this is the place to talk about them. If you have one let us know.

Thank you,
