Basket of Towels
You got your towels.
You got your detergent.
Now do the freakin wash. ;-)

Grass Not Always Greener
Sometimes the grass isn't (always) greener.
Instead the grass grows in beautiful multi-colors.
The grass art in this garden looks a lot better than the grass itself.
The only real green is money and envy!
When comparing your lot with others, make sure you're comparing apples to apples and oranges to oranges.
Even then you'll never know the person's real "package" (or basket) in life.
Be sure that everyone has their share of good and bad, so never be jealous of anyone. ;-)

Get Over It
Thought this was a funny title for a book:
I reminded again this week how everyone has something: Mark Herd, Co-CEO of Oracle, died at 62 and and Elijah Cummings, elected to 12 terms in the House of Representatives, died at 68.
All the success int he world on the surface doesn't mean that there isn't plenty of schlimazel (misfortune) under the surface.
Unfortunately, sh*t definitely happens in life and we can get all spun up over it or we can take everything in faith and stride.
What doesn't kill us makes us stronger.
What does kill takes us to the next phase of existence.
All you can do is your best, the rest is in the hands of the Almighty above. ;-)

"Sh*t Happens So Get Over It."There are no perfect lives out there.

Only Game In Town
This was a funny sign up in Harpers Ferry yesterday, Thanksgiving Day.
Outside this restaurant, it says, "Only OPEN Place in Town, GREAT Food."
I suppose if it's the only game in town, then whatever food they have is by definition "great"-compared to going hungry that is.
Life is very much like this--where everything is relative.
If I have too many choices--how do I choose?
Whatever I choose, I may second guess myself that maybe another one would've been better.
It's like when I go out with my daughter to eat, somehow whatever she orders is always better than what I got!
But when choice is limited or non-existent, well then "beggars can't be choosey."
Essentially, your happy with what you have-- perhaps, something is often better than nothing.
But really it's much more than that, because if you look closely at others, you realize that what you have is actually a pretty darn good lot in life--so don't be envious, jealous, or be too quick to want to change places with your neighbor.
Obviously, this was a very apropos sign for Thanksgiving--where we need to learn to be grateful for everything we have in life.
It is our basket, and we wouldn't want to trade it for anything in the world (and if you did, you'd be sorry afterwards). ;-)
