During lunch we disussed what is going on with te impending military action. BTW-my cousin, the SLC sheriff I was planning on having a discussion with about Elizabeth Smart, he has been "called-up", and is now back with his unit. :(:( The good news is: he is Air Force, an (F7, I believe), and will probably be stateside, since he is a M.P., or something. Whatever the highest non-Officer rating is. (I am pretty clueless about titles in the Air Force). Anyway- here is what we discussed. 1) Know your neighbors-is it so important right now, who's dog barks at night, and who's kid drives too fast down the street? Even if you HATE their glow-in-the-dark plastic garden Trolls, we need to know each other, and put the petty stuff behind us. Neighbor you don't know? Introduce yourself. Respect their privacy, but let them know, who YOU are too. 2)know an elderly person, or veteran? Right now, impending war is very scary for them. Maybe give a call on the phone, just to say "hi". If they need to talk, listen. I mean, what's it going to kill you, to let the elderly Mother who lost her "baby" in combate reminice for an afternoon? Seriously? Or an elderly person, who feels "vulnerable" right now, let them know, they are NOT alone. 3)Hug your pet(s). Feel their simple love. How bad can a world be, when your cat, sits in your lap, purring like a motorboat? 4)If you find yourself getting depressed, TURN OFF THE T.V!!! TURN OFF THE RADIO!!! You have permission, I swear! 5) watch your diet & exorcise....also to let off steam, I play "Red Alert2". The computer game. Let's me Nuke Iraq & Iran everynight. It's like playing "Risk", and you have to use your brain, to manuver your troops. 6)eat dessert first a few times Well, those are a few, for a start. Anyone else have ideas?
