Monday Moods: Onward

I stumbled across the reminder to focus on today and the future. Really today. Tomorrow is not guaranteed. 

So what can/should I do today? 

• Find Joy! 
• Be nice to others.
• Learning something.
• Be creative.
• Solve a puzzle.
• Breathe. 
• Be tolerant. 
• Be thankful. 

A post this last week, got me to thinking. I am so lucky that I have never felt the need to flee the country that I live in, risk my life in a leaky boat to arrive in another country where I may not be welcome. 

Where I have been able to identify why my ancestors left the "old country" it was mostly economic. And they arrived in a place that they were welcomed. Most people in the world, never leave the country they are born in, many never travel more than 100 miles from home. Things must be pretty terrible for people to flee home. 

What we need to focus on, is helping places where people feel compelled to leave, to become places where people want to stay, places, where people want to live to, not places people want to flee.

Today, I can do something to make other people's lives just a little bit better.
