How appropriate!

While watching T V mindlessly last night, I picked up these words from part of a song.  I don't know the name or artist.  "We are how we treat each-other, nothing more!"  WOW!

Welcome Paraguay!

We are so glad to see you!  Please come back!

in a quandry

I have been talking to a good friend about the movie that is causing so much controversy.  This brings up so many things for me.  It makes me wonder about just how far we are willing to go to make a dollar.  It makes me wonder if we have lost all of our sensitivity and taste!  There are a number of other issues, including how such a big business does not have a secure website, and also freedom of speech.  But when it comes down to it, I think it speaks to the fact that maybe all of us need to take a sensitivity class!  Make a ripple, think hard about this, see what happens.

Everyone has an opinion

I guess this goes along with "would you rather be happy or right."  What I am learning is that everyone does, indeed have an opinion, including myself.  It is usually based on our life experiences, and family values.  Having an opinion can cause discomfort in other's who do not share it, but it is just an opinion.  When we feel uncomfortable with someone's  opinion, maybe we should ask ourselves, "WHY?"  We certainly do not have to agree, and they are entitled to it.  Make a ripple, let it be, see what happens. 

Be grateful!

to those who bring you joy and love.  Make a ripple, pass it on, see what happens.

The dilemma

Catboy and I have been in a lengthy discussion lately about being "in the box."  Whenever I order something to be sent from a store, he figures out it is for him.  Well, at least he thinks the box is for him.  He has been known to try and bite me when I take the box out to the garbage.  Of course, it never gets there which presents another dilemma.  The box has to go through the procedure of having him pose for pictures in it (Honestly!), then, he has to see if he can sleep in it, then he turns it into a flattened sliding device.  So, for him, "the box" is a good thing.  For me, it just seems to be a way to take away my movement, or make me just like everyone else.  NO WAY!  We can't come to an agreement on this, so maybe you can help us decide.  Make a ripple, figure this one out, see what happens.

It's in there.

Recently, I cleaned out a "junk" drawer. It is always interesting to do this because I find the weirdest and most interesting things.  There are broken rubber bands, keys to who knows what, nails, pens, long dead, but also, mementos from the past.  It is like a little trip down memory lane.  What I also find is a treasure.  This time, I found a picture of Catboy when he was a small kitten, and a pair of bee's wax candles someone had given me long ago. I think that sometimes we forget some of the things that meant so much to us.  So today, I am going to revel in the fact that I have a nice clean drawer, but also, think of other things I might dig through and see what I am missing. Make a ripple, try it, see what happens.
