The color pink

Apparently, I have Arab fans. Well, fine, they weren't looking for my blog, they just happened upon it, and they didn't stay for long, but still. Who can say that they have traffic from Arab countries on their blog?

I was checking my statistics, which I do occasionally. It helps boost my morale when I see how many people read my blog. And I saw 2 very interesting visits. One was from Jiddah, Makkah, Saudi Arabia. They found my blog through someone's profile, by blogs I follow, which is interesting in itself.

The second one was from Dubai, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. And they found my blog through google, I'll include the link. They googled the words 'what lays beneath' and found my post, 'what lies beneath the mask.'

So hey, the world is smaller then we think, and someday some Arab may be learning Torah on a blog, not really knowing what he's reading. Who knows.

On another note: my brother bought me a present. It was cancer awareness day at his work, and anything you buy, the proceeds goes towards cancer research. He got me a calculator and a pen, that says 'Every women counts'. At first I thought it meant me, as his sister, but then I realized it was referring to the cancer research program. Oh well. It's the thought that counts. I was very touched, it was so sweet of him to think of me. (And no, he doesn't read my blog, and doesn't know I'm writing about him, so this is purely for the sake of sentiments.)

It came with a credit card sized calendar, and on the back it has a nice quote. I'm a sucker for quotes, so here it is:

"Seize each new day with renewed strength. Believe in yourself. Go forward with courage and faith to face whatever tomorrow may bring."

Sounds like it came straight out of a self-help book. But it is true, and can be applied to everyone. And maybe today I'll even attempt to listen to it. There's a first for everything.
