Remember how to smile?
I wonder if we shouldn't try it more often.

Yeah, yeah---I know: "The world is going to hell in a handbasket!"

98% of us on DU agree on approximately 98% of what we'd like to see happen in our nation. We disagree, temporarily, about HOW things should be achieved, but we agree pretty much on WHAT it is that should be achieved.

We have "enemies", but they are OUR enemies and they are not usually posters on this board.

Love---yes, I said that---should be a much stronger force in our lives than the substitute emotion of eternal and universal cynicism.

Spring is in the air where I live. It is a good season for fresh starts. I'll bet the flowers will bloom and the hummingbirds will return to our feeders no matter what stupid thing some pompous fool in Washington says tomorrow.

I'm not saying not to stay concerned and involved; just that there is life beyond the keyboard and the TV.

Just sayin'----
