29

For all who haven't-please read my "28th" entry and + suggestions to the list. I'm determined to have at least 20 things on it.

Draper Temple Dedication today.
MOTL (More On That Later)

"Intelligence" and/or the "media" along with all those that rub elbows with me are unceasingly yammering that the globe is in a noggle (bad place). What an atrophy is transpiring, how pestilential and "out-for-number-one" we're all becoming! "We're on the fritz."

I could certainly do well with less agro. [aggression]
Please don't get my signals crossed. I pride myself - and maybe that's not the best thing- on keeping up to date with what's going on, here on planet earth. I read the paper, peruse the internet, and research my stuff. I grasp that the economy is progressively making it's way into a recession. I personally feel as though the beginning of WWIII started when we went to war with Iraq and Afganistan. Unemployment is sky rocketing [ upon opening a janitor position at a school somewhere on the west coast [cali?] 700 people applied], banks are closing, social security is shot-to heck, along with medicare. Sure, things are looking raw. And yes, all of this is [and YES the rest of the world is as well] is counting on our newly instated President of the United States of America: Barack Hussein Obama, to make things better. [let our prayers be with him]

However I still don't believe that this precious apple is as bad a place as "they" say. Our focus is askew.

So I make a challenge. To the admirable few who take stock in my entries.
It's time to make a list.

50 things that make you smile. [but really there's no limit] The idea was concieved by Matt. My constant inspiration (again, I thank you).When things seem bleak and bummer-ish we pull out the litany and remember all the good things that we have to be grateful for. And all the threads that make our lives wonderful things to live- despite what's going on IN the world.

Let's B + [ be positive]

I think Zach put it best when he said "What? You gotta get banana blasted!? Bongo slippin' on some chud before you see the light!? Just have some doba doba's, jump onboard, get wack and whip it up!"

And so.
I take the challenge as well.
