The story coming out of Florida about the shooting death of seventeen year old Trayvon Martin. Has a lot of people talking about what happend a month ago. The Republican campaigns appear to be in a state of suspended animation. Mitt,Rick. and Newt have been blown out of the water by this story. The only one given a opportunity to speak at all was Obama. The other candidates can only look on from the sidelines. All that money that was spent seems almost like a waste. If the other guys could speak up on this matter without seeming biased, and if they spoke the right words, It would help a lot. At times like this you don’t know what to say, and for a politician that’s pretty sad. Please don’t let this opportunity slip away. The city of Sanford in Florida will be in the public’s eye for quite a while. Somebody say something!! Serius

I am now taking an online business course. I am having trouble getting into the college student. My course book is full of pictures of young adults at least 40 years younger than me. The book is geared to the young, inquiring mind. I have seen a lot of places and I have went through a lot relationships with my peers. I will have to learn how to learn all over.As with most people over 50 I have set opinions about life, work, family. The information coming at me has to be accepted by my subconscious mind. It is said that it takes 20 days to start or stop a habit. I am going to put that statement to the test and see if I can learn to relearn. I will need all the help I can get during this period of transformation. Wish me luck.

It has come to my attention lately that my life .has been up to this point has been lived on what I call the auto pilot phase. I have been detached from the world outside of my personal concerns. I have mostly reacted to life instead of being proactive. The fact that I am writing about my life at all is sign that I am changing the way that I think. The world that we live in today is very complex and, scary. I hope That I have not waited to long to realize the error of my ways. I know that I don’t have a lot of time to correct a life time of emotional neglect. The clock never stops it’s measurement of time. The need for self improvement never ceases. Enough said

Sunday thought

 

I THINK THERFORE I AM.

Mitt Romney says the poor have a safety net so he is not worried about them. Too bad he does not really understand what being poor is all about. Unless one has been there a lack of knowledge about what it means to have the basic needs of life there  when you need them. If you are born into poverty you get used to being poor, and once you accept being poor that becomes your reality or more precise your paradigm. The only way to change your paradigm is to change the way you think. The truth is you become what you think about all day. The safety net we all have is the ability to change ourselves for the better when we want to. To be broke is temporary. To be poor is a state of mind. I’m not mad at Mitt he understands the problem but he cannot “fix it”

There is a slow but deliberate flow of wealth from the masses to the wealthy. We see it everywhere “we buy gold” signs can be found in all forms of media advertisments. people are holding wads of cash that might soon be worth a lot less. Give us your wealth in exchange for paper that you will soon spend on whatever is needed. Why do the rich want all of the Gold they can get their hands on? Gold is at an all time high and cost is no object. Something big is going to happen to the global economy, and this is a sure sign that it will affect us all in the wallet. The future is here. What do you have in your wallet?
