Virtually All: Back to Basics

Santa On The Move

Santa has already started his track around the globe. You can watch his every move & let anticipation build as he heads your way. Here's all the info for what we hope will be a memorable evening for your family.

Where's Santa?
Log-on to NoradSanta.org, a site run by the North American Aerospace Defense Command. They have already started tracking him on this Christmas Eve, they'll be using the latest technology – radar, satellites, Santa Cams, and jet fighter aircraft.

If you're wondering what route Santa travels, NORAD says Santa usually starts at the International Date Line in the Pacific Ocean and travels west to the South Pacific, then to New Zealand and Australia. After that, he goes to Japan, Asia, Africa and on to Western Europe, Canada, the United States, Mexico and Central and South America. While tracking Santa's flight, site visitors can view live video feeds each hour captured by special NORAD Santa Cams in space.

Face it, on this day getting back to basics for most children is finding out where Santa is.

May you and your family have a wonderful holiday season.  Though this posting today is fun, just don't forget why Christmas is so important to us.  Happy Holidays

What's Important?

You don't have to look at a calendar  know why this time of year is important.  It's not because the stores are jammed or the weather is cold that this time of year is different. It's not because of the presents that you have hidden in your trunk of the car, the closet or already wrapped up and placed under the green thing with blinking lights in the living room.

It's really basic, this time of year is a great time for us to celebrate the birthday of Jesus.  This may not be a politically correct stance to take. However, for those of us that believe in Jesus as the higher power, this is His day. It is just like Him to allow us to give gifts to others on His birthday.  He has always been a giver.  

However, I want to propose something to you.  What sort of gift are you going to give Him?  He gave His life, why not give your life to Him to use for His good and work.

A Word on Word

I thought that I would give you just a quick tip today when it comes to Word. We all use the program, as it is the industry standard.  As busy solo-prenuers, we find it essential to find ways to do things as efficiently as possible.  Face it, we want it easy.  Until we can use our telepathic powers to open up the documents that we want (would we really want that?), here's just quick tip of opening a Word document(s).

There are several ways to get one document or several document open at the same time., this is just one way. 

If you have the Windows Explorer window open, click once on the document that you would like open. Should you want to have several documents open at the same time, click once on the document name and the "Control" button.  Once you've done this, drag your document over to an open Word window and it will automatically open up.  It will also work should you have the Word icon on your desktop, you can drag the documents that you want to open on top of that icon and they will automatically open up.  Though there are many ways to open up documents, this is just another way to do so.

Make a Difference in Someone's Life Today

During this time of the year, everyone is rushing around and having so much to do to get ready for the big day. However, what is important to remember is that the big day is now. That's right, living as if you are in the most important time.

As you are standing in line at the department store, contemplating who you still have to buy gifts for or where you are parked, think about the person in front and behind you in that line. How can you make a difference in their life. It could be just as easy as holding their bags for them while they are fishing out their wallet or helping them make up those last few cents that they can't quickly find. However, it could be the most basic of things as to just give them a smile.

Try it. Make a difference in someone's life today.
