    I write this blog. It does not represent anyone else's opinions or perspectives. Regardless of employers or clients or any other associations, this is my blog and it does not speak for anyone else. I have learned that perception is more powerful than reality. So, we get to experience the joys of claiming and disclaiming. Isn't that super!

way blessed

It’s so quiet I can’t sleep.  I’m irritated by that.  I decide to get up and do anything so I don’t think about being irritated.

Sound silly?

It is.

I hop online to check out some blogs.  One of the first items I read is about the net being down and it being hot with no AC – - in a war zone!

Man am I one spoiled, unappreciative snot!  I should be soooo thankful that there are no missiles cruising over my head and bomb blasts shaking the building I live in, and I have all the food I can possibly ever want, with fresh water in whatever form I want it – coffee, soda, bottled water, beer, OJ, whatever…

This was a good mental snap for me to have.  I’m instantly not irritated by the quiet, or that I can’t sleep.  That’s selfish, and incredibly near sighted.

I wonder how many other things I have thoughts about, and I really have no awareness of other input around me that adds real and valuable perspective.
