TIME TO LAUGH, TIME TO PONDER

.

I am about to drop a dozen or so of my latest brain droppings upon you. You may now proceed to pay attention, or you may simply click to something else until I am finished.

.

These are spontaneous thoughts that appeared without permission in my head. I will generously share them, while at the same time sparing you the dozens of other things that currently float about. Those may come later.

.

.

.

.

Each day, make every effort not to make things worse.

.

Thanks for mulling over my meanderings. I hope you jot down some of your own. There’s a lot of goofy and wise stuff floating about you. Might as well examine and learn to go with the float
