While I have hundreds of ideas in the course of a week, it's always nice to remember the idea of sitting quietly, and if it's safe to do so, to Close One's Eyes, Breathe and Relax and say a calm, "Thank You". Now who or what you direct any thanks to can come next, if any. Just tuning into Gratitude as an Attitude for enjoying a moment and many moments in a day is an important start.

How many times in a day or a week do you have someone drop somedirection or insist you listen to them (likely they are using a tone of voice that is annoyed, firm, loud, quick) and you are

Expected to Agree or at least LISTEN with full and quiet attention..and AGREE with them (him, her or a few folks even).

Thanks for your honest response, Carl and to others who took a moment to read some or all of my first response. We could choose to have a 12-step type respect that doesn’t judge, but I appreciate honest feedback and hope you can allow others who sound anything like me more consideration in how you share Your Opinions.

Someone said lawyers don’t need to make a good argument as much as they need to knock the credibility or insult the argument or speaker, so that bulldog approach may work in some circuits but I’m headed toward world peace such as promoted by

We can’t let a few (thousand) bad apples (madMen with Guns) spoil the bunch of US-All in the United States of A-Miracle…Yes, we need ‘mothers and others'(as Meryl Streep and Others noted to prevent the use of dangerous herbicides such as alar on apples..or at least warn people and encourage peeling and many other initiatives.

They kindly helped me get a great pumpkin to donate toward the local events as I can manage to haul the 20-lber Great Pumpkin about to share. (Read  this next part with caution as this includes some real-life jazz like birth stories...oh joy)
