Are you STILL laying on the nail?

It’s hard to know where to begin.
Then again, it usually is – and that’s
the very reason I’m stopped so
many times from writing you.

So much to say – and so much in the way…
If it weren’t for that nail, tonight would be just another
missed opportunity to talk with you.… —-> Continue…

Count your blessings – don’t compare them…

It’s funny – the things we complain about.
2 days ago I was complaining about Facebook, yet it’s
been Facebook that has brought me in touch with some
of those who are my dearest friends and loved ones.
Found myself grumbling the other day now that I finally got
the Datsun running & on the road, and here comes the rain.… —-> Continue…

Independence Day

Independence Day:liberty 220x165
a Declaration of Independence
is nothing unless we continue
to ACT independent
of our government.

The same holds true today
as it did 233 years ago.

If our forefathers could see
what we have done with the
liberty their lives have paid for,
I wonder if those brave revolutionists
would ever have signed the
Declaration of Independence -
knowing that it would be
their death warrant.

“If you can’t say something nice,
don’t say anything at all.”

My Mom used to say this when I was a kid,
and I was again reminded of it the other day
while on the phone with someone who
had very little nice to say.… —-> Continue…

Every so often when I take
the time away from Life to
visit a moment with the reality
that is portrayed on television -
I see why so many people use it
as an escape the the real World.
It explains and reveals in so many
ways how disconnected, misled,
disillusioned, and apathetic
this country has become.… —-> Continue…

Looking at the past brings you more of the same

rear-view-mirror-350-b
I often think when people look in the mirror,
it’s more like the rear view mirror in a car.
They’re always looking at what’s behind them.
In Life, the same. The things we’ve done,
that have happened – past experiences
(and ALL experiences are PASSED) – everything
that has happened up until now… is behind us.… —-> Continue…

If you REALLY know what’s good for you…

One of the reasons I am grateful for the internet is
that it is getting easier and easier for the “average”
person to get answers to the questionable, rather
than having to settle for what is presented to them.
I remember before the Internet came to be, and it
seemed like most people accepted what they saw
on TV or heard on the radio or read in the newspaper
as the best and most accurate information of the day.… —-> Continue…
