Think You’re Safe?
“It’s none of my business.” “I don’t want to draw attention to myself.” “What if I become the target?” “My people will abandon me.” “What if people find out?” “Somebody is watching.” And other excuses. Looking the other way when you are in the position and have the power to help, save, protect, comfort or defend. Standing down evil involves the littlest things: Listening with attention.

Disablity Doesn’t Preclude Ability
When I was growing up, most of my real friends were shorter than me. Some weren’t relatively as well-off as I was, or even as intellectually smart (judged by academic results, that is). People would make fun of us, especially when we walked together on the street. The males got the most of the ridicule.

What To Do In 2010
et’s spare ourselves the usual talk on what our resolutions for the upcoming year will be. We know what usually becomes of those resolutions after reality hits. Instead, how about looking at what worked for us in the past and repeating them? In the past, I’ve had fun with having day trips to new towns and villages. Just drive and go!
