Happy Wednesday

Here we are again, another great day, I don't mean that in a sarcastic way, I am truly happy to be alive and healthy. Lots of stuff in the news, in particular, this thing with Black water in Iraq, they seem to think they are "Middle Eastern Cowboys" with a license to kill at will. Frustrated about this war, so much so that I have to compartmentalize it in my mind, otherwise it would take over.

So, in order to maintain perspective and not rage against a machine I have no control over, I get up, take"the blue pill"(MATRIX), and get on with my life. I know it sounds like a cop-out, but the alternative would be to stay angry and upset and not enjoy my life. I do still have opinions, I do still like to talk about the issues, I just no longer obsess over it every single day like I used to, and what a better person I am for that.

So I watch reality shows, and cooking shows, read books and drink coffee, talk to my daughter, pet my cat, look out and enjoy my back yard and last but not least, work on my passions. Perhaps our passions are what will bring things back into focus. Things are so off kilter, people don't have passions anymore, they're fatigued from everyday living. I happen to be very fortunate in that I have many passions in life, and at this moment in time, I can pursue them. I have life and health, I have love and I have passions that make me want to get up everyday, it doesn't get much better then that. I wish the same for you.
