I told Tyler that my friend, kj, was whining. He said to ask, "Would you like some cheeeese with that whiiiine?" (It never fails to snap us out of it! Ha!)
"DON'T WHINE" Uh, oh, do bad things happen to people who whine? I mean I've been whining for decades, and I've never gotten a ticket for it, so I thought it was okay. Now, I'm worried.
the hardest one for me is ask questions. i always feel i am intruding however i always have lots of questions. i most often keep them inside. not good.
kj, I really like your poem. (aka Emily's poem) :) I'd like also to comment about the post below. It touched me, as sometimes I feel just as disheartened as you and the other commenters describe. It did my soul good to know that I'm not alone, really. Can you believe that here in Canada, our newly elected government cancelled our quite good long gun registry, as one of it's first acts of parliament. This is even against the strong advice of the country's police chiefs in each region of Canada? Many of the supporters of the Harper government, are proponents of the long gun registry, and hunting rights, etc. And we also have the tar sands, and our gov't is cutting back on environmental regulations, it seems in favour of big profti for Enbridge.
How does this do for a good "Whine"?
I follow alot of the politics in your country, and my son just today said to me, "Romney put his foot in his mouth again". We wholeheartedly are praying for Obama to win in November.
The Syrain tragedy, does seem more horrible than ever, it does seem like both a civil war, and genocide - I keep wondering what the world can do. And yet we do need to do something I think.
Did you watch the opening ceremony for the Olympics, I truly felt touched by the carrying of the Olympic flag by the "peacemakers" - I just wonder why the positive energy of this kind of interational gathering cannot have a spillover to the worlds' leaders.
I had been feeling cynical about the Olympics in the past few years, but watching it woth my son, has renewed my sense of happiness about young athletes competing but also just doing their sport to the best of their own capacity. (My son was a good judo athlete as a teenager, teaches judo now, and knows some of our national judo athletes at the Olympics, and his genuine happiness for them is contagious.) We've watched the weightlifting, rowing and swimming, it is good.
Also seeing young athletes from small countries who have struggled and worked so hard to get there, inspires me. And there are one or two countries which finally accepted to send their women athletes, and that is pretty amazing for these young women.
Maybe we also can have hope that there are the young coming up with new ideas, and soon the Mitt Romneys, and Stephen Harpers, will be elderly, and out of the picture.
I plan to do a post about "The Elders" at my blog soon, I've been reading about them, they are an inspiring group of international individuals - so there seem to be places we can see hope and advancement in spite of the darkness around us.
