I can’t say that I am thrilled with the times in which I am living. I listen to the news and can’t find any facts and thousands of opinions. I don’t live in big city and don’t want people who live in a big city to determine my needs. I am concerned for my way of life, my heritage and my family. We hold our beliefs strong.
This may or may not work for many of you. It would be great if you let me know if you could hear me. The Pow Wow is fast approaching and much is to be done. It is joyful and stressful as we have to come to terms with what was, what is, and what will come.
I desire peace and what I see all around me is anger. How did we get to this?
People knows how to put themselves in good light …
truth is hard to seek with everyone having their say and playing judge …
sometimes we just believe in yourself …
I guess that true. I suppose I am lacking is self confidence right now.
I dwell on the serenity prayer. We should accept the things we can not change, and change the things we can. The prayer is about acceptance, and the wisdom to know the difference.
I will have to look that up. I am not sure I know what it is.
Unfortunately, the world has changed. And we have to accept it.
Humm, I think I tend to fight back.
Do not,
go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the passing of the light.
Dylan Thomas, the Welsh poet, argued in another time of great darkness that we should fight the darkness. We should fight against accepting the bad.
There is great hope for tomorrow. There is great joy to be found!
What a great reminder. I have not heard that in a long time.
I named my best friend (the Laborador) after Dylan Thomas. My children sadly were involved and added pickles to his name
Dylan Thomas Pickles
Just because of the Pickles the fire cat book.
Unfortunately, it is so everywhere in the world, dear friend … the sooner we come to terms with it, the easier it will be to live … there is no other solution … unfortunately it is so and nothing can be changed
I guess it is what it is and nothing more.
I think so too, dear friend
Be calm and consult with your closest one and learn to compromise, I hope you will handle it
Compromise is sometimes the only answer or simply let go.
This situation is for every one. You need to handle it and that is called art of living. ?
Not all things can be handled, some must be endured.
That is one way of handling and that is enduring
The world is nothing like it was when I was growing up. We were more secure, no real fears other than possibly a nuclear war (we used to have drills for a nuclear explosion). People were more considerate and kind. Children were polite and had respect. It will never be the same again.
Well, probably not. However my grandchildren when they are with me must be polite and respectful!
That’s good. There are still people in this world that believe in the old values. You are to be commended for demanding their respect!
The world is nothing like it used to be, and never will be. It has become a scary and dangerous place for all of us.
True, and I will still try and keep a place in my heart that is filled with hope and the beliefs I hold true.
