On This Day: A "Brief View of the Week".....
It has been a challenging few days. around the World as Iraq implodes. Although not easy, there is no other choice but to remain optimsitic. Everyday is a new opportunity to begin anew. This was so timely from Ralph Martson:
Today, life will give you the opportunity to be honest. Take that opportunity, and keep yourself aligned with the power of truth.
Today, life will give you the opportunity to be compassionate. Take that opportunity, and feel the priceless satisfaction that comes from making a difference in the lives of others.
Today, life will give you the opportunity to act with discipline and focus. Take that opportunity, and enjoy the fruits of being highly effective in whatever you do.
Your life today will give you the opportunity to learn, to achieve, to enjoy, to reflect, to share, to listen, to understand and to love. Embrace each opportunity that comes your way with gratitude, enthusiasm and a sense of positive purpose.
On this day, life will give you the opportunity to be your best, to live and to act true to the unique and beautiful person you know you are. Take that opportunity, and run with it.
If you’ve been wishing and waiting for a perfect opportunity, it is here and now. This day will be what you make of it, and there’s no opportunity better than that.
It was also even more so to not forget this admonition from the ever so inspiring Mary Tyler Moore:
Take chances, make mistakes. That's how you grow. Pain nourishes your courage. You have to fail in order to practice being brave.
Enough Said....May we all be blessed with the beauty and the majesty of life.

On This Father's Day 2014: Being Happy & Engaging Ever More....
Today is Father's Day in the United States. I count my blessings every day and wish all a sense of happiness and joy that is beyond this World as I am blessed to observe my Son as he grows up. It is not as easy as one may hope as I see the reporting on Iraq and the brutality by ISIS or what is happening in Pakistan as The Pakistan Army began a new offensive after the bold attack on Karachi. Gandhi Ji reminded us to be the change we wish to see in the World---it begins here with a sense of happiness because it begins with us:
May it be so on this Father's Day for all while remebering to count blessings every day and noting:

Being Optimistic//Never Losing Hope
It is Father's Day W-End here in the United States. It is not easy to be optimistic about our World as Iraq and the Near East (also known as the Middle East) seems to be falling apart before our eyes and Ukraine seems to be on the edge of the abyss. Yet, I see no other choice.
I hope all enjoy this "thought 4 the week-end" from the great Kahlil Gibran courtesy of the team @ Givemore.com along with excerpts of a recent outreach I received from them on truly "thinking different"--and continue to be ever so thankful for all that we've been given.
“ The optimist sees the rose and not its thorns; the pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious of the rose.”

On Iraq: Latest Notations (6/11/2014)
The Iraqi insurgents are marching on. CNN, to its' credit, is headlining the debacle and how Iraq is now open to US Airstrikes as the insurgents march on and potentially threaten Baghdad. But FOX is featuring another story on the Bowe Berghdal as MSNBC is featuring (and focused on the Eric Cantor defeat).
