Tonight: Rev. Riggs!

An amazing week is ending, another probably even more amazing week starts. (While this admittedly was intended to sound a little ironic, well, there is water at the bottom of the ocean.) Amazing, as in "The sun still isn't tired of setting over there and rising vis-à-vis..."
The past three days held some fine sunshine and blue skies, the last week an inspired correspondence with a remarkable personality, and just yesterday some friends and I gathered around the dinner table to enjoy some tasty Indian food I prepared. Add to that I'm still able to leave my apartment unaided every day, and that's a lot more than many fellow mortals are able to enjoy right now. I'm aware that this sounds a bit bloated, but in these fast times it's the simple things we tend to overlook and take for granted. We spend a lot of money on things that we don't really need, throw away food while others have literally nothing to eat. We have people killed - for what we proclaim democracy, or by simply looking the other direction. I had some thoughts triggered during the past week (as you undoubtedly have noticed by now), and although I believe we're in a state of history repeating, there's room for progress within each and everyone. It's the small things that don't even involve money, like helping somebody across the street, or simply saying "Thank you!" for something we usually don't even notice anymore. Most of all, not taking ourselves too seriously, which also includes saying "Sorry!" where it applies. After all, don't we just like being comfortable? Well, then we gotta do something for it! You know, nuggets won't be delivered to our doorstep just like that. Never were, and never will be. On this note, have a nice rest of your lives, y'all!
