Some rain clouds have silver linings.
Six Word Story
Some rain clouds have silver linings.
Hello Wednesday!
My college roommate said on Facebook that its a double whammy today…its tax day and its raining here in east Tennessee. Well not every day can be sunshine, puppies and happiness, although it would be great if it were. Today I am at work, doing good things for myself and for others so I guess there is a silver lining behind the rain clouds. Let us all have the best day possible given the circumstances of life. Have courage and be kind as Cinderella said in the most recent movie of the same name. I like that quote very much.
Love, peace and grace to each of you today.
Taxes Done and Filed, Yes It’s A Relief
My duty to my country is finished because today, one day before the deadline I filed our 2014 income taxes. The IRS is a necessary evil and no one loves to pay them but we have to. For so many years we have had to pay until the last few years. Yes its good to get this yearly ritual done but I can’t just do it early but its put off until almost the last minute. Fortunately we are getting a refund this year and that is a relief.
After reviewing what I had put into the tax program I realized I didn’t click something I needed to so when I did we went from owing to being owed. There is something about double checking. It is a good feeling to be getting something back.
Now we wait for it to be deposited into our bank account. Yes, I should have done it before now but you know…I am stubborn like that.
Observations About WordPress
WordPress is indeed a different animal than Tumblr. People here are incredibly creative and very original. They have something to say in every post they make. One thing I notice is re-blogging is at a minimum and to me that’s great. I love seeing more original posts from everyone I am coming across here. One fear I have is that I don’t write long enough or perhaps very deep compared to other WordPress bloggers. Maybe I should consider how to do things different here. Let’s see how things go. Input welcome from all in the community. Lets keep on blogging.
A Thought For The Day
There is no time like the present to be thinking about the future. As Fleetwood Mac once sang “Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow”.
Opportunity Into Prosperity
I think with opportunity comes some prosperity. If we are looking at prosperity only then we are missing out on the ability to impact the lives of those who need it in favor of personal gain. Our lives can be about more than accumulating wealth but creating a greater community for everyone including ourselves.
