Peaceful easy feeling

"I get a peaceful easy feeling....." Do you know the rest of that song? At any rate, I like this one line of it today.

I can't remember if I've used this snap yet or not. To me, that crystal clear water just calls out to my soul. I took this a few months ago in Oman.

I don't know about you, but there's just a lot of crazy stuff going on. And it seems like the worse it is, the more people are talking about it! Munchkin #2 came home the other day brimming with details about some pretty nasty violent stuff she heard about it. I agreed with her that it was horrifying stuff. But how do you discuss heavy nasty violence that's horrid to even adults with such a young child.

Gotta get that peaceful easy feeling....

There is a fly buzzing all around my head, hands and desk at the moment. But, it's too fast for me to 'stop the buzzing'. I can't catch it!

I can't get over all the 'talk' about the Swine Flu (now H1N1 Virus, I think). Or, to use my own term, the Piggy Flu. I read newspapers that feel like solid hype. I read newspapers that provide almost no info and say practically nothing. I read newspapers that basically just quote what the CDC in the U.S. is publishing on their website. So, what's hype and what's not? http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/04/health/04model.html?partner=rss&emc=rss So, is this hype? Interesting science/math? Or what?

I am a very opinionated person, if you couldn't tell. And, I love to shoot my mouth off, if you couldn't tell. But how do you have a conversation with someone who has the opposite opinion from you, and the other person wants to discuss very controversial stuff? How do you focus and keep emotion out of the discussion?

And thinking of discussions, just read an interesting opinion piece:

Even with everything that awaits me in the home country, summer break can't come fast enough. Maybe, I should just forget all my chores and responsibilities and go snorkeling.

Gotta get that peaceful easy feeling.

Peace.
