1. Interesting times we live in... Reading the news this morning was a bit much for me. I don't know why I feel inclined to do so. Though there is so much good, the bad, is always the focus. The sad thing is, that the bad is being made out to be in some cases every ones fault but their own. Example... famous actor dies taking drugs, but its the drug dealers fault, or the doctors. Yes, they are some of the parasites out there trying to hook one person at a time, but they didn't make the choice to take the drug. Great actor dies in a horrific car crash, it's the cars fault, he was driving it so fast.? I am left confused. Seems everything in the world is getting twisted for some reason. Is it so we don't think ill of others fates? So we won't feel so bad about the consequence? Does everything need to be sugar coated and twisted for our reading and listening pleasure? Is it bad for one to think, and process on ones own?
I am not casting stones here, for I have many faults of my own. I've made bad choices in my life, and have suffered their consequence. Just finding this new trend unsettling.
2. The dreaded "Coke" commercial. Wow, I made a comment that it "bugged me" on a FB post, and got called all kinds of hurtful things. No one ask the reason why. I wasn't even watching the Super Bowl and was not paying attention to what was going on. Then I hear people singing "America the Beautiful." I started singing along in my head not watching the screen. It was then, I turned to watch because of the unfamiliar languages. After it was done I turn to Rick and made a comment that it was weird. I guess it was like if I were in Russia, and heard an American sing their Anthem in English. You know you don't see Olympic athletes singing the gold medals winner anthem, right? So guess even though the commercial was trying to show how this nation was made up of nationalities across the world, it seemed to do it in a unique way I found to be different. My own take, for what it is worth.
3. Thought I was trying to help my daughter this week with a problem. Found to me, what was an insightful article for her to read. NOT! Didn't mean to make her feel bad, but I did. Like she said it's "really hard" to be a Mom even if your children are in their thirties. Good luck, to Moms everywhere!
So now my thoughts for this week are written. Hope you are having a good one!
