It's time for action

I am not going to pretend I was happy with the way the election turned out, but here we are.  I expect we are in for a bumpy ride with the majority having changed in the Senate.  So lets get moving.  A bumpy ride will be better than no ride at all.  Lets take care of the issues that will give everyone a chance for a better life.  Obstruction is no way to run things and those who want to continue to do this with no plan should be ashamed of them selves.  You get paid a lot of money BY THE PEOPLE to govern. So be the people you claim to be and work together and get things done.  The list is long! Let's do this!  We can call our congressmen and women and make a fuss if things don't happen.  If we don't make a ripple, we are in trouble.

And so it goes!

We are in the middle of mad snow.  You clear off your car and within 15 minutes, you can't tell you did that!  However, my wonderful neighbors shoveled my walk and to my car this morning.  Then, a dear friend who was visiting volunteered to clean off my car.  I was so glad she could even find it under all that snow!  My point here is that I was so touched by these lovely people, I decided to brush off the car next to me at the store.  It felt so good to do this and I wrote, "Pass it on!" in their windshield. This was a good "Ripple" day.  Have one of your own!  See what happens.

Have you ever noticed...

what happens when we hold the door for someone?  Many times, the next person will do the same thing!  If we compliment someone,they light up and you know they will do that for someone else.  It is as if you are washing someone's glasses for them.  Maybe you don't know how annoying it is to have dirty glasses (EYE), but it feels so good when you clean them. It is also true of good thoughts.  Every time we have good thoughts, they connect to other good thoughts and create good will.  Don't we need a lot more of that. Make a ripple, share, see what happens.

Burrrrrr.......

Winter is not my favorite season.  I am not crazy about the ice and cold.  Driving is not the best because of the crazy drivers.  But I have to say, Mother Nature got it right in the beauty of it!  Bundle up, be safe out there, if this is the season you are in, and enjoy the wonder of it! The good news is that there is hot chocolate waiting!

Yet another great human!

This is a great week for wonderful humans.  Today, I had an occasion to call my local gas utility for some information.  Debbie B. answered the phone, answered all my questions, and was so personable and patient.  I hope her fellow employees appreciate her and that her boss gets a copy of this.  She is terrific!

This is your year

How would you like the year to go?  If each one of us took responsibility for it, what would we do?  Personally, I would like to become so happy with myself, that joy would spread.  If we could all find a way to be happy and grateful for all we have, how would that affect us?!  I live with a being who just loves himself and is in a good mood 99% of the time.  It is hard to get too angry with much when I am around Catboy!  So I know of what I speak.  Let's think of all the goodness we want to experience, then, allow that to happen.  I know I have said this many times, but we get what we think about the most.  Where will your thoughts go in 2015?  What kind of a ripple would that make?  And what would happen?!

2015 another chance

Here is what I want for all of us. I want clarity, kindness, colorblindness, patience, generosity, peace, and harmony. If we stay present, all these things are possible! Catboy says "all we need is love."
