Somethings I find it hard to understand. I don’t understand why folks want to stay angry. I don’t understand why political parties can’t work together. I don’t understand why it’s so difficult to search for common ground. I don’t understand why the environment is not a pressing issue. I don’t understand why anyone would think killing solves problems. We’re all riding along through the cosmos on planet Earth. Maybe we should take a time out and throw a big party. We’ll find out we’re pretty much like each other. Let’s enjoy the ride together.

Something to Think About
If I don’t get started it won’t get done. If I look at it, it won’t disappear. If it’s important to do, do it. It’s the difference between doers and doubters. Doers get their hands dirty. They get up, get going, and keep going until they get it done. Doubters think about it, worry about it, and let discouragement rule. Be a doer, shake things up and get things done.

Do your ideas conform to what society holds as acceptable? Or, do your ideas and thoughts challenge others to think differently about existing ways of doing and thinking? .If we keep doing things the same way we’ll get the same results, Go to the edge and challenge the status quo.

There’s your way. There’s my way. If we’re stubborn, we’ll never see the myriad of other ways. Our paralyzed positions cause more harm as each side seeks power over the other. It happens all the time, it only works until the other side regains power and the harmful cycle continues. The courageous believe working together different sides can find a better way even if they can’t see it at the time.

Today, keep track of how often you laugh versus how often you find yourself angry or upset. Laughter lights up the soul. Anger sets a fire to it. Finding it hard to laugh? Look for humor, it surrounds us. It’s in the face of a young child holding an ice cream cone. It’s in watching people dancing. It’s in eating a taco and getting the salsa all over our hands and face. It’s in the songs we sing aloud when we think no one is listening. C’mon, laugh and laugh loudly.
Something to Think About
I’ve not met a person who hasn’t made mistakes. I’ve met some who believe they’ve never made a mistake. Mistakes are our best teachers. They teach us that what we’re doing isn’t working. The mistakes can be in our work, study, and our relationships. If we don’t want to make the same mistake again, we can study the mistake and choose a different way.

What do you want to be when you grow up? Children are frequently asked that question. Their answers change as they gain experience. Are you still growing? What do you want to be when you grow up? The way I see it, if we’re open to life, we never know what surprises life will offer. Age and other demographic descriptions make no difference to life’s surprises. It’s never to late, you’re not too young or too old, it’s all up to you when life surprises you. Say yes to the surprise and watch what wonderful things come your way.

It doesn’t matter if we make it over the finish line first if there is no one there to congratulate us. We make it together. In making it together we all have a piece of the action, we are all a part of the reason to celebrate.

At the moment it is 100 degrees and expected to rise to 104 degrees F (37.7 to 40 Celsius). There’s not much I can do about it. I’ve got to roll with it. I’ll probably be wishing for this day in January. It’s another life lesson taught to us by nature. When we can’t do anything about it, it’s best to adapt, adjust, and roll with it. I think I’ll have a tall glass iced tea, pick up a good book, and salute the sun.
Something to Think About
Mark Twain said, “If you don’t read the newspaper, you’re uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you’re mis-informed.” What he said many years ago applies to all news sources today, digital and printed. Because someone said it, doesn’t make it true. If it’s important, verify the information. Where does the weight of evidence lie? The evidence may not be where we want it to be, failure to listen to the weight of the evidence makes us pawns of the person who makes the false statements.
