An update...

Is anybody out there wondering how are my new eye glasses working out?

Not really, I hear.

Too bad but this is my Blog and I am going to tell you anyway, so there! (Adult tongue is stuck out now!)

Well, lefty, the one that had the cataract surgery last January is now a sole contender for the eye wars; it’s become ambidextrous in its ability to see far and near, TA DA!

Yep, that’s right. And I am sure by now you all have realized that righty has not come back around into the fold yet, yes, it is still taking a no see sort of stand, just holding its place, just waiting I hope for its vision to return…Although, now, I can see with my new lenses both near and far from lefty’s vantage point, and that is a vast improvement, huh?



Sadly I have noticed a downturn in my Blog being read since my melt down. I feel just awful, but I have much improved since then you know… I am resilient only because when you sink so low the only other direction is up from there!



Many things could be responsible for my down turn last Sunday, the anniversary of a very sad day, all the hullabaloo about the burning of the Qur’an and I do believe I have finally learned the proper way to spell it, at least I hope so.

Heartbreaking for me was that I could not support my dear FB friend's desire to campaign with others to move the NY Mosque’s location, and this is the main one who supported me so bravely when I had that ridiculous negative expression of my feelings.

I hope she forgives me for not being able to, and we are from NJ and my hubby not only was a NJ Fire Chief he was FL deputy! And we indirectly knew people who died that fateful day of 9/11 through friend’s relatives and neighbors etc.!



But being who I am, a person who is somewhat idealistic it would be out of character to think that a person’s religion meant he thought or behaved badly because some others in his or her faith might have done it in the past. To me it just doesn’t seem right to judge all by a few. How many times have we made that mistake?

All of those who believe in the reverence of superior beings, powers greater than themselves, know that they are forgiving and loving and that’s what I truly believe is the answer to this conundrum of how to handle the Mosque’s location. Love thy neighbor as yourself, comes to mind too.

So if I just said yes to be nice then I would not be true to myself and I would be lying to a new friend.

I also remember a person asking on Facebook if it is better to lie on occasion not to hurt someone’s feelings? Now, if you read this you will understand why I said no.

Sometimes lying to be nice to someone instead of expressing you true feelings can be inflammatory to a situation.

The ‘mob rule’ concept is perhaps too harsh an analogy, but when someone speaks with so much passion and no compassions that’s what can happen!

One person stands up and says something negative about someone and others loudly agree!



Oh well, I do hope that I haven’t overstepped my bounds with a rather extreme analogy, but I am not that smart…

Happy night to all and to all count those blessings and we will too!

Be here next time… in this same place and who knows what may happen!
