[RC] "Tis the Season - Bruce Weary'Tis the season" to count our blessings. Micki Turney just mentioned one I would have never thought of. I'm indescribably thankful I'm not in Folsom Prison....................in 4th grade.There are so many less fortunate people out there. Yes, many have done it to themselves, but they can get caught up in a downward spiral kind of thinking that "traps" them in their habits and poor outcomes. There are so many opportunities to help others, with no guarantee they will follow through and make good . Hey, there's no guarantee you'll finish a 100 miler, but we try anyway. And we feel better for just having tried. And we tell stories later about the partial miles that we did finish. Fist fights over generators, complaints over the constant rise and fall of gas prices, who should get how many points for what....................Wayne Dyer tells me that only 5% of the world can take a shower. Kind of puts it all in perspective for me. I saw a recent study on mental health that showed a remarkably positive effect on people who develop the habit of naming three good things that happened in their day, and give the reasons why they were good things. I have tried it, and it works. Possibly just a re-hash of "count your blessings." Hey, whatever works. Happy Holidays, all you Long Riders.
