Hi – here are two happy thoughts for you:

1. “He who has health, has hope. And he who has hope, has everything.” – Arabic proverb

2. Two scoops of Ice cream with extra hot fudge

Here’s a happy thought: Yesterday, I watched the inauguration of a man whom I did not vote for and with whom I largely disagree, but I still felt a chill in my spine. I may not always agree with the man, but I respect the office. Here was a man who was elected by the constitutional process the Framers provided.

And how marvelous to see one man wrest control of the world’s greatest military force from another with only a handshake! At 11:59 a.m. EST, George W. Bush held the authority to command millions of troops, warplanes, tanks, ships, and even nuclear weapons. At 12:00 p.m. EST, Barack H. Obama acquired all that power without so much as an angry word. All those service members who would have followed Bush’s orders at any peril now will follow Obama’s orders at any peril, because their oath of loyalty is not to a man, but to the Constitution and the constitutional office of President of the United States.

I just read these two posts in succession. I think you have some good points in the first, but I also think the attitude of the second is what we all need to get through with grace. We can’t let ourselves (and by extension our nation) be overcome with negative self-talk or self-hate. The reason is because everything we say to ourselves with any energy has a nasty/or wonderful way of becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I’m a composer, so I know all about struggling whether the economy is robust or not. The only way I can get through all the obstacles and face my day is with a healthy dose of faith, hope and charity.
