Happy Monday to you all, I am sure you all enjoyed the weekend, the first day of spring has put all of us in a much better frame of mine. Collectively we all can now enjoy the sights and sounds that spring can bring upon us.
The Red River in Fargo, North Dakota has started to recede. Last week, school children rolled up their sleeves and helped fill and put in place hundreds if not thousands of sand bags to save their town.
Collectively they won this time and the clean up begins slowly but less damage by far as they came together.
A great web site that shows what the web can do to educate and inform is listed right here regarding the North Dakota Red River Flood Stage.
We all can appreciate the effort put forth by a sports team, our team, the effort they put together to win, to entertain us and share the passion of winning. Collectively we all feel the excitement build when the clock is winding down in a close game or event and our team is behind.
So what is this word Collective:
A collective is a group of entities that share or are motivated by at least one common issue or interest, or work together on a specific project(s) to achieve a common objective. ...
We all know the power of the media, both good and bad images screen over the airways both visual and audio. The recent debate over HEALTH CARE REFORM has showed the good, bad and ugly over trying to overhaul our health care system. It is hard unless you read all of the language in the Senate bill that was passed yesterday. And when I say language it is written for another lawyer to read. Not everyday people like you and me.
Collective action was taken last night when the bill passed and now is headed to the Presidents desk.
Right or wrong, that is not for me to write about here. A recent quote on Facebook from a friend stated:
We all can have an opinion however only one set of facts that are true.
So collectively lets all take a deep breathe. Thats right, now is not the time to listen to hate, strife, anger, rhetoric but now is the time to watch, speak up with a common voice and watch. The selling of this bill was sold to congress and the Senate, by a majority.
The sale goes on today for why this bill will not effect us in a negative manner today, because if that sale does not convince the American people, then votes will be cast in November 2010 for a new arm of power. Watch, listen and find truth not lies.
The smile, a simple expression that a collective group, hopefully ever growing, can share with another and another and take away the pain, the hate and inspire a new wave of expression.
We can do it.
We should do it.
We will do it.
One smile at time.
One gratitude journal at a time.
So today, have a great day, enjoy the birds, enjoy your fellow human that just may need one of your smiles. Express your gratitude with yourself and it will shine amongst others.
Till next time.......Smile and share a smile with another!
