85 of 100 ... Up and Down and Inside Out.

The day was an interesting one ... sometimes I need to think a bit more before expressing my opinions, and sometimes, it's in those moments that things come clear to me.  Or at least I feel a nudge.  A lot of things have been happening in this country lately (the two soldiers being killed, the talk of terrorists, a national radio celebrity suddenly being fired because of his BDSM behaviours coming to light, the Ebola crisis) ... and I do tend to get caught up in it.  Add to that, the mental meanderings of self-love and what that might look like and how that touches my goals and my purpose ... and then I step back and wonder if I should get so involved with what is going on around me and just keep to my own little catastrophic world that desperately needs attention.  Isn't there some way to have both?  What if ... like the quote, I prepare myself to surrender all to something?  And if so, what? What might be on the other side of that?

Gratitude: Today, I'm grateful for ... 
1.  getting in to work for a bit.  Was not as productive as I wanted to be but at least I got the log done for tomorrow.  Most important.  
2.  getting to talk to my nephew for a bit ... it was his birthday and I felt so bad forgetting!
3.  my first experience getting a gift-card for someone via my cell phone app!  that was way too easy!! 
4.  living in a country that has hot running water!  Every time I come out of the shower, there is a rush of gratitude.  
5.  that I have opinions while at the same time being curious about others.  I am grateful for the way I think ... with all that is happening, it's so easy to jump on one side or the other without remaining someone open and skeptical to both sides simultaneously.  I am always thinking "I want to hear more."  How others deal with it is their choice ... I just know, for me, that when I take a stand, I have to know what and why I'm standing on this spot.
