Motivation and Inspiration Sunday March 10, 2013

Hi All!

Today's Sunday motivation and inspiration is brought to you by Water For Life and entitled First World Problems read by Third World People.

When I watched this video I realized how we must look to the rest of the world. Didn't that just make you thankful for all that you have? We are able to take care of our basic necessities. Our problems seem trivial in so many ways (unless you are homeless, battling some life threatening illness, etc, compared to 90 percent of the rest of the world. 

Where do you stand on the issue. Is it fair to even compare life in America to other countries? Did this motivate you to not stress over the little things and focus on the big issues in your life?

Leave a comment telling me what your position is on this issue. 

Thanks,
Michelle 

My Thoughts On The Season

Hi All!

The day set aside to celebrate the birth of Jesus of Nazareth is almost here. The sad thing is there is very little celebration of his birth. Or as the pundits say, "The reason for the season". We are inundated with the massacre in Newtown, Connecticut (pray for those left behind). There have been four other incidents involving guns and schools. Talk of the "Fiscal cliff". Lets just jump off the cliff and see what happens. The papers are full of articles that People aren't buying enough "stuff". The stories that celebrate folks helping folks are few and far apart. Guess they aren't important.

Maybe its just me, feeling melancholy after being hit by a truck as I was crossing the street. At this point in my life its taking longer to recover than I would like.

My viewpoint is for 2012 to have been a cleansing/purging  year so that we can go into 2013 stronger , focused and determined to get our country back on track.

I really would like to see more spiritually come back into this the season and that it not be just about conspicuous consumption. How are you getting through the season? I know for some people this is a very hard time spiritually; No family nearby; missing departed loved ones.

What are you doing to celebrate the season? Are you celebrating at all? Leave a comment and share your thoughts on what is important and how are you coping.
