Life

At this stage of life it is difficult to explain why I am on this computer, creating this blog, but in simplest terms - I was inspired.   Like so many my age, I watch the nightly news and walk away an hour later saying, "Really!  That is all they can tell us about the world tonight? Really!"  With all this technology today, I find it hard to believe that those who are in charge of programing can only tell us about a Nike frenzy by Christmas shoppers.

When my children were young the Christmas frenzy was for a "Glo Worm".  I had to have two (one for each child) and engaged in-laws and parents alike in this quest to not disappoint  - so when hasn't there been a Christmas frenzy and when DID it become newsworthy?  Disappointment sets in each night until Sunday morning.

On Sunday morning we look forward to CBS Sunday Morning and if you have never experienced it I hope you will soon.  It is a civilized, educational and entertaining format for recapping the week of news, arts, history, science and more.  By the end of the program, you are inspired and reminded of the greatness, generosity and creativity in each of us. As Mikey said, "Try it, you'll like it!"
