DO YOU NOTICE SOMETHING DIFFERENT ABOUT THE SCENE THESE DAYS? THERE IS A SHIFT IN ATTITUDE AMONG THE PEOPLE, AND ITS PART OF THE REACTION TO OUR WAY OF LIFE.  OR SHOULD I SAY, PROPOSED WAY OF LIFE?

THINGS SLIDE ACROSS THE SCREEN WITH MESSAGES FROM PEOPLE OBVIOUSLY BORED TO DEATH. THEY ARE NOT AIMED AT ANYONE IN PARTICULAR, BUT JUST AN AIR OF FRUSTRATION, A LACK OF HUMOR AND DESPAIR. AND WHO COULD BLAME ANY OF US, WITH THE MASSIVE INFORMATION THAT FLIES ABOUT AND LANDS IN FRONT OF YOU. YOU’VE ALMOST GOT TO LISTEN. OR READ IT. OR MAYBE NOT! 

I SPEAK PRIMARILY OF THE SOUNDS OF ANGER AND FRUSTRATION, THE CRITICISM OF OTHERS UNKNOWN EXCEPT FOR A BRIEF FLICKER OF VIDEO. AND THE COMPLAINERS. AND THE TEETH GRINDERS. IT GETS TO BE A LOT FOR THE REST OF US, WHO ARE TRYING OUR BEST TO SOLDIER ON. THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IS A GREAT COUNTRY UNDER A HUGE WEIGHT OF CHANGE RIGHT NOW. WITH THAT COMES THE NEW WAVE OF  RULES BEFORE WE GET THE LAST ONES  RIGHT. ON AND ON. 

AND SO I SIMPLY GIVE YOU GRATITUDE, EXPRESSED BY THE FRESH AIR AND BLOOMING FLOWERS,  THE SMILES AND WAVES FROM FOLKS WALKING ACROSS THE ROAD. MY FRIEND LOVES TO RUN WITH HER CLAN OF WILD WOMEN JOCKS, AND WORK THAT STRESS OUT. THEY ARE A SECRET GROUP OF SMART PEOPLE WHO KNOW THAT WE MUST UNLEASH THE  TENSION. THEY LOVE EACH OTHER AND LAUGH A LOT. I HAVE SEEN A BUNCH OF KINDNESS AS WELL, BOWING TO THE NEGATIVE WITH A NOD, AS IF TO SAY, DO AS YOU PLEASE, BUT I’M HAPPY TO BE ALIVE.

SO IS IT ENOUGH TO SAY I LOVE YOU, AND HONOR MY FELLOW AMERICANS WHO ARE IN THE SAME BOAT, WAITING FOR THE PEACE OF MIND WE HAVE LOST? YOU KNOCK ME OUT WITH YOUR SPIRIT, DESPITE THE NAYSAYERS! AND JUST ONE MORE THING, THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE WORKING EVERY DAY AT WHOLE FOODS AND THE SURGERY CENTER AND DOCTORS OFFICES, THEY COULD USE A SMILE AND A THANKS. WHAT WOULD WE DO WITHOUT THEM?

 BE WELL AND SMART ENOUGH TO REALIZE YOU ARE STILL HERE TODAY, OK?

WISH I COULD HUG YOU RIGHT NOW, BUT THIS WILL SUFFICE! LOTS OF LOVE, XX:JW
