On this historical moment of hope and change, congratulations! "It's all uphill from here," a colleague said this morning.

The right-wing will make attempts to create obstacles for the Obama administration. So please stay politically active. There is a chance that change will be minor, and in that case also, keep the pressure on your representatives to demand what you need.

Change: The Journey Up - Going from Careless to Mindful

Change

The Journey Up

Going from Careless to Mindful

 

Beggars to the Rescue

"Beggars" to the Rescue

On the way to the bank
He ran into a friend
Who was enjoying a name brand coffee

Which costs four dollars a cup

A lady come by and asked for change

She was ignored by all.

He continued  up to the bank

Had been cutting corners to save

To pay back a loan

As the interest was mounting

Relationships were at risk

Cause money like materialism

Is the main cause of divorce

And poisoning of relationships.

From the bank he got the $2,000

With the big wad of cash

He was walking a block away

When he saw the same lady

She said, “Didn’t you hear me?

I was asking you for some change”

He ignored her again and kept moving forward

After twenty steps his conscience bothered him

He opened the wallet and pulled out a dollar bill

He turned around abruptly to go back
To give her the $1 bill

But his sudden move startled two men

Who were following and about to rob him

He dropped the bill and ran away as fast as he could

Saying “this is for you”
