<p>Verbatim - here is the posting I made for the first
installment.<br>

<p><i><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"><small><big><big>My
curiosity about the recent plethora of media spots,
billboards and ads by the Foundation for a Better Life
led me to their website at <a

<p><i><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"><small><big><big>Their
premise is that the values we live by are worth more
when we "Pass Them On".</big></big></small></font></i></p>
<p><i><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"><big><span
class="our_values_intro"><strong>Their view is </strong>that
.. "everyone views the world through a unique lens" and
a Foundation objective "... is to provide a wide
spectrum of values that are universal, encouraging and
inspiring." </span></big></font></i></p>

End of first post - additional thoughts below. Visit the
website <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.values.com">www.values.com</a>. Peruse ... and you will find:<br>
<br>
</p>
<p><b>Values. No matter where we live, we live by values. Because
they are worth more when we pass them on, The Foundation For a
Better Life chose these values to share. Explore each value or
suggest your own.<br>
</b></p>
<p><b>and<br>
</b></p>
<b><span class="about_us_intro">The Foundation for a Better Life
began as a simple idea to promote positive values. We believe
that people are basically good and just need a reminder. And
that the values we live by are worth more when we pass them
on.<br>
<br>
and</span></b><br>
<br>
<b><span class="about_us_intro"></span>Throughout this site, you
can pass things on to your friends, family or co-workers—anyone
who might enjoy our site.<br>
<br>
and<br>
</b><br>
<b>We want the stories we share about the positive actions and
values of others to serve as inspiration for someone to do one
thing a little better, and then pass on that inspiration. A few
individuals living values-based lives will collectively make the
world a better place.<br>
<br>
Therein lies my motivation - self examination (one value at a
time) and sharing. Ah, the time you ask? Well, retirement
affords one the time to do many things to which I am grateful.<br>
<br>
Happy Holiday Season<br>
