Perspectives

Sadness prevails when we see such pictures depicting the sad facts of the ongoing truths in our current days. Terror prevails in many different ways.




My friend dropped in yesterday with warm banana bread from her oven, delicious with a drizzle of vanilla icing and not a calorie to worry about, stopped to have a hot cup of coffee and some conversation about life in general. We found we are opposites but that doesn't make a difference as we know we can agree to disagree and our world is not going to fall apart. We both see the events of the day in such different ways. For instance not one word or picture got out in the news about President Obama visiting his native Chicago where he was greeted by a very large group of constituents who disagree with the way he is running, ruining, misguiding, misleading our country. A man of little or no experience and the results are beginning to show.

Our quality of life is changing and we are all waiting for our representatives in both the Congress and the Senate to stand up and be counted. Some folks are out there with homemade signs stating the causes each one feels needs attention , and no matter how we perceive it, we know that much is not not right.

The caption for this picture was "Two of the Great Qualities of Life . . . Patience and Wisdom. Smart dog!! Now if we could get a few of the 'dogs' in Washington, D. C. to show a little patience and wisdom, maybe we could keep those 'skunks' at bay.

So today, keep in mind that we all need both patience and wisdom in our every day life. We need to remind ourselves to pay attention to what is going on around us. Learn to listen to the 'whole' story and know there are two sides to everything and not everything is the truth. Keep an open mind and use that marvelous brain to separate the shaft from the wheat and become productive in thoughts and deeds. Today is as good as any to start . . . a brand new day and it is all yours. Hugs. to all.
