We die daily. Happy those who come to life as well.

Hello Ally

Every day is a disaster, to one degree or another. Things explode, or they implode. Things break down and refuse to get fixed. Other things don't work right. Things don't go the way you want them to or expect them to. You tried, you failed. So what's the solution? The solution is: it's another day, another chance, a reawakening.
I used to have an early morning radio program in New York City. I went on the air before most of my listeners were awake. As they came to they relied on me to tell them what day it was, what time it was, what the weather forecast was for the day, to be cheerful and entertaining, to welcome them into a new day, etc. I would also remind them frequently that they had another chance to do great things. I would pepper my announcements by saying "Thank heaven we have another day on our hands." Then, since I was in a big city with a lot of commerce going on, I would say things like "Make that sale!" "Win that case!" "Pass that test!" "Sign that contract!"
People would often write and tell me how much they appreciated those gentle boots in the rear as they were getting ready to leave the home and head out into the roaring jungle.
When you finally get going this morning or tomorrow, or any time remember that you have another day on your hands, and make a mole hill out of that mountain you made last time.

Look here. I have 10 Guest Author entries since I started offering this invitation. Now I want yours. If you haven't posted one here yet, please do so.
This is an invitation for anyone and everyone to post an entry of their own on my journal, Vagabond Journeys http://vagabondjourneys.blogspot.com/.
The end of the year holidays are upon us and since it is a time for celebrations, remembrances, resolutions and plans for the future I know that people have things to say.
Not to take away from the postings on your own journals, but to add to the joy of my own celebrations is why I invite you to write for mine.
I want to read what your thoughts are about this magical time of the year. This invitation is open to everyone: Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Pagans, Agnostics, Atheists and the Uncertain.
Tell me your thoughts on Chanukah, Christmas, Ashura, Kwanzaa, the Winter Solstice, New Years Eve. or any subject you wish or associate with this holiday season.
There are no limits in regard to length. The only limitation is that, for reasons so far unexplained to me, my blog does not take photographs, animations, videos or pictures of any kind. I deal in words.
Please accept my invitation. Send your entry to my email address dbdacoba@aol.com I will copy and paste it into my journal and it will be displayed promptly. You may sign your name or not as you wish, and you may leave a link to your blog or your email or not, as you wish. I will do NO editing or censoring. Eloquence is not necessary, mind or heart or both is all.
I have 10 Guest Authors so far. Check them out. Can I hear from Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America? All are welcome. Admission is free.

Mountains And Mole Hills
What we need is to love without getting tired.

I don't believe in Satan, but if I did I would say one of his greatest talents is his remarkable ability to mess things up. Every day is a disaster, to one degree or another. Things explode, or they implode. Things break down and refuse to get fixed. Other things don't work right. Things don't go the way we want them to or expect them to. Everything is a mess. We tried, we failed. So what's the use?
Every important thing we do in life should be an act of love, whether we are caring for one person or caring for a million. I used to have an early morning radio program in a big city. Over the course of the morning I had at least a million listeners. I went on the air before most of them were awake. As they gradually came around they relied on me to tell them what day it was, what time it was, what the weather forecast was for the day, etc. I would also remind them frequently that they had another chance to do great things. I would pepper my announcements by saying "Thank heaven we have another day on our hands." Then, since I was in a big city with a lot of commerce going on I would say things like "Make that sale!" "Win that case!" "Pass that test!" "Sign that contract!" "Get that job."
People would often write and tell me how much they appreciated that gentle boot in the rear as they were getting ready to leave the home and head out into the jungle and how much I inspired them to meet the challenges of the day with a positive attitude.
When you are up and at 'em today remember that you have another day on your hands, and a chance to make a mole hill out of that mountain Satan made for you yesterday.

SPRING QUESTION
(This is not a contest)
Come on. Picked up another answer today. Where's yours?
NASA has planned to send a two man mission on an 18 month trip to the planet Mars. It would take 6 months for the astronauts to get there and after 6 months of exploration another 6 months to return.
Should they do it and why, and if not, why not?
dbdacoba@aol.com
Only 10 responers so far
I eagerly await your answer.

It's A Mole Hill
Adversity is like a strong wind. It tears away from us all but the things that cannot be torn.
Arthur Golden
******************
A good Sunday morning to all my readers and to all my nonreaders.
Let's face it every day is a disaster. To one degree or another today was a complete bust. Things exploded, or they imploded. Things broke down and refused to get fixed. Other things don't work right. Things don't go the way you want them to or expect them to. You tried, you failed. So what's the solution? The solution is to throw up your hands in despair and admit your failure, your ignorance and your inability to do anything right and give up.
Until tomorrow.
I used to have an early morning radio program in a big city. I went on the air before most of my listeners were awake. As they slowly roused themselves from their sleeping mode they relied on me to tell them what day it was, what time it was, what the weather forecast was for the day, what happened in the rest of the world while they slept, etc. I would also remind them frequently that they had another chance to be brilliant and do great things. I would pepper my announcements by saying "Thank heaven we have another day on our hands." Then, since I was in a big city with a lot of commerce going on I would say things like "Make that sale." "Win that case." "Pass that test." Or "Sign that contract."
People would often write and tell me how much they appreciated that gentle boot in the rear as they were getting ready to leave the home and head out into the jungle.
When you get up tomorrow remember that you have another day on your hands, and make a mole hill out of that mountain of trouble you made last week.
