Dollars and cents are important but so are fundamental human rights. One without the other makes life difficult. With everything there should be balance. It’s also important to realize that the economy is fluid and can challenge us but not at the expense of life and liberty for all. We must adapt and move forward. It’s the best way to go.

Six Word Story
Everything is a work in progress.
Given A Chance
For something to grow and get better it must be given a chance to do so. We expect so much but become disappointed or disillusioned when something takes longer to develop and change than we hoped for. Patience is indeed a virtue and if we have it then we will see things get better.
Of course, it takes effort and work but results will show themselves in time. Instead of instant gratification let’s do things that will last and of course hope for the best. The payoff is going to be great if you let things play out.
The Vault Is All That’s Left Behind
This is the site of a bank building that has been demolished to make way for a car wash. What is left behind is the bank’s vault which will take some more work to bring down. Lots of buildings are being demolished around here for new stuff to be built. Life is about progress and changes these days.

Something About Turning The Clock Back
Some folks these days want to turn back the clock it seems. As much as they would love to go back to a time when they didn’t have to encounter people who are different from them they just can’t do it in reality.
If they could, then they should go all in. Let’s get rid of modern conveniences like The Internet and cool things like Amazon and Netflix. Make it hard to breathe and fewer restaurant choices. Medicine, who needs things to keep diabetics and others with chronic illnesses from suffering. Our cars can get less miles to the gallon and our roads won’t be as nice either.
We can go on and on in turning the clock back so that some people feel more powerful and entitled. My friends the world is a scary place these days because a lot of people are afraid out there of change because they don’t want to have to move forward. We all have a choice to embrace the future where everyone has a say and is equal or backwards where some folks live in a lot of fear. Let’s keep the ball of life moving forward because we can’t go backwards, at least I hope so.
