Worth a shot
Jan. 29th, 2009 07:40 amOk, everyone, I am going to make a request.
Let's be blunt - things are pretty awful just now. Jobs are being lost all over the place, the economy is tanking, money is being thrown around and wasted by entities big and small. And this is, at least for me, not just something on the news I read or hear about daily - it's struck on a personal level. Friends are losing jobs, I am still not working, and other friends of mine are beset by some scary stuff because of an insane person's demands.
SO - the request. Take a moment. Take a break from it all. The bad news, the sadness, the pain, and think about ONE THING that still brings you joy, that makes you happy. Take a moment, consider what that one thing might be - and then give it focus, give it some attention. Focus on something other than the negative.
Post it to your LJ - or don't. Doesn't matter. But if we ALL change our outlook, I believe we can begin to change the world.
Start small.
Pass it on. Thanks!
