Back in my day we had unorganized sports. On Saturday, we got up, had breakfast and watched cartoons until about 10am when they went off. Nope, we did not have 24 hour cartoons. Then we got dressed and went outside and played with our friends all day. Mom said be back by dinner and we rode bikes, we played ball, we built forts, we played with dolls, we dug in the dirt, we played on our swing sets. Parents did not get us ready for soccer, volleyball, baseball, football etc. We were not organized unless all our friends got together and we decided on teams. It was a more innocent time where we knew our neighbors and they watched out for us. Now we watch out for them and hide behind our walls and fences. I am glad that my daughter is doing organized sports but I wish she could have some of that unorganized too.

Finding Relief
Relief...something that is hard to find. I take my meds diligently but there are still those days when the pain breaks through. Days when your feet feel like someone has put a lighter to them. Days when your new chillow pillow is a requirement so your head does not scorch the bed. Days when your knees feel like they will not bend and your back won't coordinate with the rest of your body. Days like today. Relief may come when I finally go to sleep!

How Are You? Fine!
- that we would be more honest with each other
- more happy
- better able to understand others
- actually create a world that is open to each other?
If at least once a day when asked how we are doing we actually told someone the truth, would we be able to create better personal connections?
If at least once a day when we asked someone how they are doing we actually questioned if they were really Fine would we find someone who needed us?
I encourage you to Wake Up today and spend an extra moment with honesty and not just being FINE!
