Hi, all I hope everyone has a super day, whereever they are in the world.
My the sun always shine, on the day ahead.
And a reminder... if you do live in a place. ... Actually anywhere and Take a moment to explore the wonderful world around you.

If your in the Big city, or some small remote cabin, take a moment to look up at the sky and see that it's alive. .
See the clouds in the photo? .. There needed just as much as the sunshine. .. So not everyday you'll have sunshine. ... Even in the tropics, to the desert, the clouds move freely across the sky.
They dont care what country you live in. .. nore your particular preference of what you do each day. ... they are just up there in the sky, doing what they do best.

...
Here's what got me started, as you know, one of my favourite discussions are about the the gas price.
... 'High gas prices are a good thing' facebook group.
So it neet to watch as some people leave the group. .. fortunatly there are lots who stay.

So there is a psycology behind that. ... but i wont get into that. .. Trying to stay on topic here.
... so when you look up at the clouds. .. they collect everything that gets released from the ground. ..
So why not take a moment and think about that. .. If you are one of those few who own an old ineficient gas car. . Remember the price you pay is much bigger than the cost of the car. Your helping out others in the world who get rained on because you wanted to take the car instead of walk 10 minuites to the store. ... So what if it's cold?. Thats why technology was invented. (Mittens) there was a time when mittens werent invented. ... but fortunatly pockets were. :)

... Just bundle up, BTW i met some people from Finland the otherday... and she was talking about how over there the houses are simply build better for the weather. .. it's a standard to use tripple pain windows. .. as they can contain and repel cold outside. ... and the materials used are simply better. .. .. thats also why the snow shovel was invented. .. so then the walkways can be clear.
If your walkway isnt clear, or you see your neighbours walkway isnt clear. ... take an iniciative and clear it for them. ... It's called, being neighbourly, and friendly. .....
If your friendly to everyone. ... That helps. Dont you feel better when someone does something kind for you?
... I think that those who go out of their way to help others, and be of assistance... do become better themselves.

I dont think it's about money.. as money can be made and spent just as easily. ... I think it's about simply being neighbourly, and being a better help to everyone. ..

Why is it that the Irish are known for their friendlyness?

Well, it's because the irish people know that you need to be giving of yourself more than others. ... the more you give of yourself... Actually the better you feel. In the end, isnt that what it's all about? Feeling good about yourself?
...

So i have a postcard from Ireland. .. With no postage stamp so i dont know how far this post will go.
... what i like most about this photo is that when you get up to the top of this mountain.. you can look streight out, at the horizon and see open ocean. ... What's over the next hill?

You decide,

Cheers,
Sam :)
