It always amazes me how simple it is to slip into a world of… too busy to notice anything outside the daily to do list.  I try to remind myself and encourage my children to feel gratitude for a roof over our heads, food on the table and good health.  And I admit, since my voluteer days evolved then dissolved post hurricane… I don’t remember gratitude as often as I should (which should be remembered constantly).  I am far from perfect and like others… days unfold, news clicks on, car horns honk, paper work awaits, stress lingers and fingers point.   However, Erik Eckholm and Arianna Huffington pulled my evening from a self-spun-head-zone with…

“We live in a country that, one year ago this month, came together with a sense of national emergency, and bailed out banks that were “too big to fail.  Shouldn’t we also be living in a country that can come together right now and bail out schoolchildren that are too small to be allowed to fail before they have been allowed to succeed?”

While banks, unemployment rates and health care have always taken focus, it seems the little things in life have remained… little.  Naturally, we can’t keep children sheltered forever, however, these children can barely stay awake during school due to stress.  Homeless children is not something we want to ponder, as it makes the heart cringe to think some child is trying to console desperate parents during hard times.    So, where is your head today?  The uneasy homeless children story can become the uncomfortable task of reaching out or just a quick click to… Megan Fox.
