While I was walking I passed a couple returning home. As they exited their pickup truck, the man said to his female companion, ‘Why do you try to psycho-analyze everything?” She became defensive, and said, “I don’t.” I could see they were not in a good place. Imagine how this may gone differently  if the man said, “Could you explain a bit more what you were trying to say? I don’t fully understand what you are saying.” In this case, a dialogue begins and they address the issue peacefully.Â

💡 Something to Think About
We’re all different. I was chatting with a neighbor yesterday and he asked me if I watched the evening news. I told him I don’t watch the evening news I read current events online and I don’t read it in the evening. We’re different. Neither of us is right or wrong. We’re just different. When we accept the differences in each other we eliminate many disagreements as to what is right or wrong.

💡 Something to Think About
What do you want to be when you grow up? We often ask this question of children. I still ask this question of myself. When I look back over my answers to that question I see how I have changed. I am open to learning, growing, and evolving. I think I’ll take a break and think about what I want to be when I grow up. How about you?
💡 Something to Think About
Somethings we’ll never understand. Continually asking why and not hearing a response only leads to anxiety and stress. There are time when we have to let go of the why, trust that something good will come out of it, and move on.
💡 Something to Think About
If I get caught up in the news and digital media I can quickly enter a dark hole. Instead, I like to see parents pushing young children on swings, pick up basketball games, picnics in the park, people in love, friends talking, and people being neighborly. There are lots of good people doing good things and working to hold society together. It’s all going to be okay.Â
