Where my boyfriend proposed the night before
This is a blog continued from Top Marriage Proposal Ideas at Walt Disney World. This blog focuses on Epcot, which has a special connection for me.
Epcot Future World:

October is breast cancer awareness month. Last year, I wrote a blog about a dear friend whom I lost to breast cancer. There are also a set of links with general information, support group information, as well as recommended books. This year, I will do a three part series on what breast cancer is, early treatment options and ways to detect breast cancer available for breast cancer.
Breast Cancer is a group of abnormal cells that form in the breast. There are a variety of different types of Breast Cancer. American Cancer Society lists these types in more detail.
Today is my boyfriend’s birthday, so I wanted to dedicate this blog for him. In the five years that I have known him, he has been a wonderful support, confidant, and best friend. He has taught me so much about life and has been a remarkable role model. These are 5 of many values that he has taught me.
Delayed gratification
Worthwhile things can take a long time. There is more to be gained with delayed gratification. Large feats such as buying a house, creating a business all takes time, but the process is rewarding. It leads to more long-term happiness, rather than immediate gratification, which can be brief.
There are only 3 days remaining until the Olympics 2008 Opening Games. All of the athletes have spent many years preparing for this famed event. It will be exciting to see the athletes compete. It is hard to imagine every detail that went into their preparation, but these are some of things that come to mind:
Physical Preparation
As in any athletic event, athletes have rigorous training regimens. Over time, they develop skill and endurance. In the home stretch, as they get towards the Olympics events, they must also adjust to new environments and fight jet lag. They must also continue to train hard and prevent injuries as much as possible.
Thank you to all of my loyal Public Spark readers. With your support, Public Spark reached the 1st benchmark of 100 posts! This journey has been an incredible one and I hope you have enjoyed the blogs so far.

Personal Story:
2 years ago, both my parents were diagnosed with pre-diabetes. My dad was actually the closest to being diagnosed with type 2. The doctor had caught it just in time (blood glucose level was one point off from being diabetes). Both my parents were able to make changes in their lifestyle. The choice of foods changed from sweet deserts to no sugar added foods, fried foods to boiled foods and less food intake overall. My parents said that the beginning was very difficult. I also witnessed several times when my mom’s blood sugar dropped dramatically, so thereafter, she kept fruits or candy. It was a huge change for my parents and I. Although they now have their health under control, diabetes is still a concern in their lives. They still get annual check ups and have to watch their diet. I am watching my diet and my lifestyle as well.

Southern California wild fires are leaving a disastrous path, with the Santa Ana winds making it an extra challenge for the firefighters. I was in the Thousand Oaks area on Sunday, when the fires first started. The wind and limited visibility made driving my vehicle an extra difficult task. The tree branches were broken and so were most of the signal lights. I cannot begin to imagine the areas that have been directly hit with the fires. Although wildfires have occurred in the past, it is still something that no one is fully prepared for and can be a traumatic experience. However, I found that there are steps people are advised to take to ensure our own safety, as well as the safety of others.
Last week, I wrote a blog about a personal story related to Breast Cancer as a way to promote awareness. There are also other ways.
