There’s too much damn choice in the world. I mean that when shopping for something I have a hard time making up my mind. Going out to dinner is awful because I can’t decide what I want most times. Everything from grocery stores, shopping malls and worse online shopping is frustrating. I am horrible at decision making. Just plain bad.

Something About A New Look #wordpress
There’s something about freshening up the old blog to give it more functionality and to make it look more like a website. I chose the Motif theme to show off my posts in a larger format and to give the site a throwback feel. I hope you enjoy it.
Something About Life, Liberty, Happiness
“Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” is a well-known phrase in the United States Declaration of Independence. This is also something that I feel should be extended to every human being around the world.
No matter who we are or where we come from everyone should have the right to a life of their choosing, the liberty to work for it and the freedom to pursue Happiness. One thing I would say is that no human being should prevent another from being able to be who they want as long as its legal, ethical and does not impact others in a negative way. So that means you can’t go streaking naked through a movie theatre yelling fire, fire!
No matter who you are, you should be able to dream big, achieve big and to do good things that can make a difference for your friends and neighbors. America is great when life, liberty and happiness are accessible to everyone no matter creed, orientation, race or ethnicity. It’s my hope no matter where you live in the world you have the opportunities to be who you choose to be in the place where you are now.
Be happy and make the world a better place by being yourself and living well.
Something About A Blog Break
I didn’t post yesterday and It’s cool my blog gets views and visits. Maybe a break every now and then is good for folks to catch up. I am a prolific poster and some days I post 4-6 posts a day. Perhaps that is too much or should it matter to the reader. Interesting things to ponder about best practices for a blogger so that the reader isn’t overwhelmed.
Something About Stars
This morning while walking the dog I looked up and saw the stars in the sky shining brightly. The big dipper, the little dipper and other constellations were still visible in the dawn sky. Somehow this morning it put some things in perspective. Once you get out of Earth’s atmosphere things seem a little less complicated.
The drama of the planet seems to disappear. It’s just you and the celestial heaven that is all around you. Maybe we need to look to the stars of creation to reset and renew our soul. Yeah stargazing can help you think about things in a new way or at least remind you things aren’t as bad as they might seem.
Wherever you are, look up to find yourself again.
Something About The Way Things Are
I don’t things are horrible or bad in general right now. Some folks are genuinely suffering because of a lack of work or perhaps poor health. Perhaps where they live has seen a down turn. But for the vast majority of us we are doing OK. Could we be doing better, sure but I think being grateful to our creator for what we have is a good thing. People in prior generations had love, family, community and modest possessions that were all they needed.
I look at what I have and I realize I am doing alright. The notion of making a country great doesn’t begin with economic and military advantage, no it begins with love, kindness and harmony. If you are reading this you are doing better than many but being great means sharing with others what you have. Good people don’t buy into negative rhetoric, buy into a vision of a good present and a bright future.
We are indeed better and stronger when everyone is taken care of. It’s a matter of being greater together.
