Turkey Day
I like the idea that you should think about what we are all thankful for because reflection of our current situation always leads to an improved outlook on life. But, while we should be thankful for all that we have it is my view that these things should not be the only ones on our mind because no matter how much we have we can always try to increase our standard of living not necessarily by getting more material things. It could be improving our relationships or hanging out with people to brighten their day. I'm not saying we shouldn't take what we have for granted but if we are never completely satisfied then life will always get better the longer we work. I might be considered a hipocrite in this area of life because I have not been improving my life in a lot of ways. How about looking at things we have to see what we want? That really starts to be the root of the issue when we think about Thanksgiving and the traditional concept that it has come to represent. 1 Time for your mind..

1st time
My 1st blog...
As I sit here typing thinking and reading different editorials otherwise known as opinionated articles I can't help but analyze the more basic instincts we have for expressing ourselves. Since when has it been so important to let everyone who happens to stumble across your publication exactly what you think and why? I understand that communication is an important and somewhat valuable commodity but the underlying reasons for starting this blog seem foreign to my minds process. There are some pros to this world of thought because it is just that, thought provoking but otherwise where are the standards for judging opinion and what is allowable to be said. Can anything be argued for, I would assume so but I digress, the point is why are we venting our feelings. I find it somewhat relaxing and to have my thoughts written gives purpose to thinking them. So is the very act of writing things down the real benefit or do we want to feel that our thoughts are more than just ideas that they symbolize us and our process of thought which may be new and exciting or may be boring and uninteresting. However if we never write it down no one will ever know the difference we are then silent and mute. Our brainpower is spinning a wheel uselessly in our heads where no one can identify it as something worth noting. How many people have lost that great idea because they didn;t have the audacity to write or the ability to convey it in a legible manner. I encourage anyone to read others opinions then form your own opinion either taking bits and pieces or sticking to your own and write it down so that it can be seen and so that your contribution to humanity is not lost in thought but dsimissed over the web like this blog. 1 in a million but 1 time 4 your mind.
