Looking together in the same direction.

Looking together in the same direction.
Sea otters hold hands while they sleep so they don't drift apart.

"Instructions for living a life.

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

Age is only a number.

     100 year old Fauja Singh, a Londoner, ran the Scotiabank Toronto Marathon today becoming the oldest person on the planet ever to complete the marathon distance.  In addition, last Thursday he broke world age group records in 8 different distances ranging from 100 metres to 5000 metres. Through his running he aims to raise money for local charities.  He started competing as a runner at age 89.
     If this doesn't get you, and us, motivated to get out there, nothing will. 

     Congratulations Mr. Singh.
