Just This Minute.

In the next minute, something unforeseen, tragic, or life-altering could happen.  There are a great deal of unknowns in my life, in your life, and in the life of our sweet children.

I'm thankful just this minute that is all well!

I can't say the same for Mike Konald of North East, Maryland.  A close friend of a family member, Mike suffered a devastating spinal cord injury on July 4th, and is now paralyzed.  As a former Shock Trauma nurse who worked on the Neurotrauma unit, he has sadly gone from nurse to patient. 


I don't know Mike personally, but I want to help!  I think about it, if this were to happen to me or my loved ones, I would hope caring individuals would take initiative to aid in my time of need.  It dawns on me just now, this is an example of the age-old Golden Rule

I think I need a refresher.  This is where Wikipedia comes in handy!

_________________________________________________________

The Golden Rule or ethic of reciprocity is an ethical code, or a morality, that states (in four forms, see below):
  1. One should treat others according to how one would like others to treat them
  2. Treat others as you would like to be treated
  3. One should not treat others in ways one would not like to be treated
  4. Do not treat others in ways you would not like to be treated
_______________________________________________________________________________

I know how I am going to help.  How will you help Mike, or your neighbor, or a child starving in a third-world country?

If you'd like to join me in helping the Konald family, please make a donation to the...

Mike Konold Benefit Fund
304 Hances Point Rd.
North East, MD 21901




Charlestonians:  During the upcoming month of August, we're on a fundraising mission at Al Di La.  For each National Bohemian beer we sell at the restaurant, we will donate a dollar to Maryland man, Mike Konald. Let's start drinking, and do some good for a family in need!
