Pic of the day:
From The
edge of the St. Joseph River,Michigan:
Driving
along one morning with the 4 year old twins belonging to Jack Jr & Cindy in the back seat. Stephen
and Joshua are two unique guys, alike but different, both very intelligent.
Sherry and I were talking not knowing they were paying attention. I commented on something and from the back
seat one of them said, “Grandpa, in my opinion, they should fix that!” I cannot remember what I said.
But I turned a little and asked, “In your opinion?”
“Yes grandpa, everyone has an opinion!”
Every
member of our family has heard that story. Today that still reverberates in my
head. This morning, I thought about that AGAIN.
I look at
the world around me, and that fact becomes clear to me. YES I HAVE OPINIONS,
but how do they effect the world? NOT ONE STINKING BIT! It
may affect my personal life; may even affect my family a little, but
over all in the scope of things Mr. Putin will remain in charge of Russia. China and other countries will still supply
you and I with much of our daily requirements.
My
opinions go against much of the world’s ideas today. MY OPINION: we
have two men running for the office of President in this Great Country; IMO both
are too old to handle the requirements of that office, ***BUT my opinion will NOT
change that.
My
opinion of cats has always been dismissive. BUT, but I have fell in like with
feral cats. LOL For some reason I have
learned they can, and do, forage or beg for themselves in my absence. And upon my return are just as accepting or
ignoring as always.
Cars? All
my early life I thought GM was the best there was, because of my Dad.
That opinion changed over the years. I have had excellent cars, Rambler,
Plymouth, Ford, Chevy, VW, Metro and Honda.
One of our Metros, loved these little things.
I have
strong opinions in many areas, and it is hard to understand why some have
opinions opposite of mine; because of course I think I am right, just as you
do, or you and I would change.
BUT FOR
TODAY, as I think, the only ones my opinions actually effect, is ME! They may bother others, but probably will not
change them, NOR WILL IT CHANGE THE WORLD I LIVE IN. Today I see how small I am
in the perspective of the world. Not even as big as a grain of sand.
Later today
and for sure by tomorrow, I will forget THAT and think my opinion matters to
Mr. Putin or the governor of Alaska.
LOL Smile, we are all important
to someone despite our OPINIONS. The
Lord even smiles methinks, when he views MY opinions.

PS: OPINION: Banana Pudding is delicious;
Butter Pecan is the BEST ice cream.
In my opinion this entry is too long, but I ain’t going back and cutting as I usually do. ;-)
***I believe an 80 year old can manage a small business, where his decisions effect him & his family, but not this great country!
