Remember your mom or dad saying those words?
Well, I've got a feeling that those words are very real today.
I'M TRYING VERY HARD TO BE POSITIVE!!!!
I have ALWAYS been an optimist. If anything, I avoid uncomfortable reality.
So, when I've got this sick, sinking feeling in my GUT, what does that mean?
I'm scared.
I have know doubt that I can survive much worse times but, I wonder about people who are even poorer than me.
Then I shake my head and try to remember that life is Ying and Yang, good and positive, for every bad thing there is a good thing.
My idea is that we as a society, want to get out of the me/mine/yours attitude. Remember, from our history lessons that there was a time when families did not have 'insurance.' When something happened to a neighbor/family/friend, EVERYBODY helped.
Rember barn raising? A modern example is Habitat For Humanity.
Think about it... how can you flip a guy off for cutting in front of your car, when he was part of the neighborhood group who helped you build a ramp to you back door so your sick wife can get her wheel chair into the house a little easier than stairs. You smile and wave.
What comes around--goes around.
Karma.
Pass It Forward.
Corny? Maybe, but it works and it's true.
It truly is "It's the End of the World As We Know It." REM
Sorry, if I'm going on and on but, it's time for what Kim and I used to call Blabbin'.
Coffee Klutch, lunches, neighborhood block parties, etc.
We gotta know each other!!
I'm done for now
