Thanksgiving vs. Black Friday

On this special day we give thanks for our countless blessings - a life well lived and filled with love. 

Only in America do we then rush off on a mad shopping spree the day after. 

Instead of immersing ourselves and imbibing of this bountiful cornucopia - we flock like lemmings toward sales of just about anything and everything. 

Spurned on by lack we get all aquisitive and competitive for material things of no consequence. 

Yet we act like they should matter the most.  Ah the inate insanity of the human being.

a life simply & fully lived

miss someone? . . . . call
want to meet? . . . . invite
want to be understood? . . . . explain
want understanding? . . . . share
have a question? . . . . ask
want something? . . . . declare it
don't like something? . . . . say so
like it? . . . . express appreciation

it's best to express ourselves, rather than wait in expectation

we have one life. . . .live it well
