Welcome to our new #29gifts members and #vetrans too. Thanks for joining.
My apartment flooded at midnight due to a broken water line under my bathroom sink. Have been awake since then dealing with the disruption and a serious mess. Maintenance had to come turn off my water for a while and a carpet cleaner was here at 2 am to pull out the soaking wet carpet pads, then steam cleaned the carpet. My carpet is now being blown dry by a few loud, huge industrial fans. It sounds and feels like I am on an airplane. They can't replace the pads until the carpet is dry so that won't happen until tomorrow. I am feeling a bit overwhelmed and frustrated right now, but trust there is some higher purpose for all this drama and upheaval.

Good giving and peace to all of you today. Please send some prayers and good energy to me and my dog Charlie
This is such a timely share. My comment may seem "out there," because it literally is! There is a point at the end, so stay with me.
I often contemplate the magnificent and timeless universe we have the incredible opportunity and privilege to live in. Teaching our children about the universe is not a priority, only a passing interest on a field trip to an observatory. I want to scream at people to wake up and look up. So many just don't get it, and I feel isolated when that happens.
Secularly and simplistically speaking, we live on a rock that is spinning through space that is alive with beings and plants and food because of a large burning ball of fire. We have the technology to see and travel to other planets! We can see other galaxies! We found water on Mars!
It's Science Fiction, without the Fiction.
If the miracle and activity of space and our presence in it were taught world-wide and be #1 in the daily news, instead of ridiculous celebrities, I believe we would not feel so isolated. I believe people would realize that this is what we all have in common and we need to work together to take care of our big rock, our shared home, and each other in the short time we're granted.
Thank you for listening to my connection to others today. And thank you, Mitch, for your gift of thought-provoking posts.
BRANDING We brand products. We brand people. What if love and compassion were your brand? #MorningMindfulness #Truth #Courage #Compassion #Connection
I am unemployed and in a class last year, we were to create a brand that we would use to get a job. While everyone else went straight to their technical skill set, mine was more global and included traits like passion and compassion and integrity. Sorry, that's about all I remember from the experience, or I'd post the whole thing. Which could explain why I'm still unemployed...
