Making do, or making progress?

There are more than seven billion human beings sharing our planet. Of course there are bound to be problems – conflicts, disease, suffering of all shapes and sizes. It’s just math, really, and the odds. While many of these “problems” are due to external, uncontrollable circumstances, many are of our own making.

Too small to make a difference? Think again

We are inconsequential specs; tiny dots in the grand scheme of things. But there’s that saying, if you think you’re too small to make a difference, just think of a mosquito flying around your bedroom at night. Aside from all the quaint sayings, quotes and memes, our existence is truly remarkable.

Contemplating the ‘little things’ in 2023

For some of us, the holidays and bit of a break were a time of reflection. I think it’s valuable to take time, every so often, to pause, think, look back, look ahead, look inside. We should continually ask, discuss, debate and chat. We spend so much time in our own heads, it’s important to “get out” once in a while, interact, and learn from others. And then, sometimes it’s better to just remain silent and smile.

Squeezing the stuffings out of our blessings!

We’ve been encouraged to “count our blessings” each and every day. I don’t think it’s a matter of counting them. They’re not currency. Unlike our medieval ancestors, who carried their life’s wealth around in a drawstring pouch, we carry ours deep inside. But like a financial institution, our blessings can bear interest, or at least fruit.

Becoming skilled at juggling our to-do lists

When did I ever need so many hands? I’m constantly asking myself that every time I pick up after the kids; clear out the dishwasher or take out the recycling. It’s at those times that I long for an extra hand, or the ability to balance something on my nose like a seal.

They have also have become the fastest growing segment of the blender appliance category due to the popularity of healthy smoothies.

Absentmindedness is my new normal

I’m with ya, Norm. My car is supposed to prevent the absent minded driver from locking his keys inside. Alas, it’s been some time since I read the manual and I’m not sure where I put it. There I was on a sunny November day watching the comings and goings at a local grocery store. I was leaning on my car because I locked myself out.

Being accountable and staying in touch

Our elected officials are our voice in government. They represent us, and act on our behalf. At every level of government, our politicians and their staff work to ensure constituents have the services, programs, infrastructure and access they need to live and thrive.

Are we linked to the patterns of the cosmos?

“Nov. 08, 2022 – Few signs can appreciate all the beauty and the wonders of the world quite like you can, Virgo, and that’s a very good thing. For one, it gives you the chance to stand out, and two, it gives you something of an edge on the competition because your unique viewpoint is so different from everyone else’s. “This isn’t about making you stand out, but rather drawing attention to the real fact that you’ve got a way of seeing things, a way of doing things, that ought to be admired. You haven’t put so much effort into yourself for nothing, and you won’t always be on the shelf, certainly not much longer if that’s how things feel.
