Yes, the world around us is moving in directions we do not appreciate.
Yes, finances are tough for most of us and the jobs picture sucks.
Yes, Communists and petty tyrants are seeking to have their way with us.
Breathe.
Every generation has faced and will face most of the same challenges of life.
Tribes will seek to dominate or eradicate other Tribes.
In every age there will be men who mean to be Masters.
Every man and woman will run into people who do not like them.
Every man and woman will have to endure the pettiest among us, once in a while.
Breathe.
In our little piece of the web we recently had a wedding. I know of at least one more on the near horizon. Happiness.
In our little piece of the web I know of at least one Patriot who will donate a part of his body for another Soul who needs it. Nobility and Courage.
In our little piece of the world we have men and women every day who raise their children to do the right thing, to be educated and to think for themselves. Responsibility.
Breathe, folks.
If you enjoy gardening, do it. If you enjoy the woods or desert, take a walk. If you enjoy fishing or crabbing, go catch dinner. If you enjoy your family, go see them or pick up the cell. If you enjoy art, just get in the car and go to a museum. If you are fond of your spouse and/or kids, go sit with them. Scratch your dog's ears.
Every human Soul ever born faces challenges in this life.
Every human is here but for a moment. None of us will get out of this life alive.
Memento mori.
But in the meantime, no matter what you face, treat your Soul kindly and be certain to enjoy life. No matter how simple the pleasure, you can find something right now in your midst that makes you happy, or proud, or hopeful.
We'll get rough when the moment demands it. Until then...
Indulge yourself and find a smile.
