Opinions.......Everyone has their own.....

Opinions.  You've heard the saying - Everyone has one, and they all Stink!  Why is that?  Many people believe if you don't have the same opinion as them, you are wrong.  No, you aren't wrong, you just think differently.

With all the hot topics out there that can have varying opinions, no one can be right about everything.  Everyone has a right to their own opinion on any topic or news story. 

I read a lot of news on the Internet.  I also read a lot of comments ON the news on the Internet.....  Many of the comments bother me because they are so negative pointed to the person the article is about.  Regardless of the topic, people can find negativity in virtually EVERYTHING.  It's ridiculous.  Why is it that people can't just be happy for people of fame and move on?
  • Katie Couric - doesn't she have a right to decided to change jobs?  Why are there so many people that just want to trash her anonymously on the Internet??  Is it jealousy?  Do they PERSONALLY know her to form an opinion about her?  or do they just choose to be negative?  My thought is they just like to be negative...  If you don't like a TV personality, you have the right to chose not to watch them.
  • LeBron James - isn't it his right to decide where he wants to accept a contract?  Who are we, as private citizens to tell him he is wrong for his choices he has made for his career....  What's the percentage of Americans that are actually professional athletes and can offer an actual educated opinion on the subject?
  • The hundreds of Reality TV 'Stars' - ok - they put themselves out there for public scrutiny, but seriously, if you don't like them, for whatever reason, why do you watch them?  Morbid curiosity into their lives?  KatePlus8, The Little Couple, Sister Wives, Housewives of ABCDEFG, The Bachelor/Bachelorette etc....   Obviously people are watching their shows or they wouldn't be talked about.  Again, if you don't like them (or their portrayal on TV) then why watch?  Move on!
I'm not standing up for any of the previously mentioned people.  I don't necessarily agree with some of their opinions or actions - but you know what?  They don't affect me.  My opinion about their personal life choices is my opinion and has no bearing on their life NOR do their decisions affect mine.  I wish that the world could be a more positive place.  I feel like we are in a downward spiral and part of that is because people (in general) are so negative.  Let's be positive! 

Remember when you were a kid and your parents (hopefully) told you "If you can't say anything good, than don't say anything at all".  Sometimes that's a good motto to live by.

Again, these are just my thoughts...agree or disagree...that's your right!

    You know I just had a talk with Mike on opinions. It is fine to voice your opinion once but to keep throwing it out there every single time you see it or hear it mentioned is crazy everyone around you already knows how you fell so shut up already!

The Help

The Help by Kathryn Stockett My rating: 5 of 5 stars I loved this book. Any book that can make me laugh while I'm reading it is a quality read! I enjoyed the way the author portrayed the characters. I have images of all the characters that, really, I don't know if I want tarnished by going to see the movie. I will see the movie though.... I will risk it! My eyes have been opened about the struggles that have taken place in our history by blacks. If you read this book and do not come away with more empathy, you have no heart. View all my reviews

Are you better off than you were 4 years ago?

So I was listening to NPR this morning, and they were talking about the poverty level of our country.  They stated that number of American families dipping into the poverty level is growing.  Then they asked, Are you better off than you were 4 years ago. As I pondered that questions, I realized that this question covers way more than the financial aspect of our lives.  Are we better off in our job situations.  Is our family unit as strong or stronger than 4 years ago.  Are we as happy or happier than we were 4 years ago.  A lot happens in 4 years.  To base if we are better off than 4 years ago soley on finances seems kind of shallow....  Life is so much more than debt and savings. I feel that I am better off than I was in most ways.  I have had a few down moments, but with each down, I learned how to get back up.  In the last four years I bought a new house, had a baby,  lost a job, found a job, ended a contract on that job...

Lists

Lists.  Places we want to go, things we'd like to do, things we HAVE to do.  I am an occassional list maker.  I actually wish I was more consistent in my list making.  I find that I am much more productive and organized when I have things written in front of me....I can see progress as well as procrastination.  As I was thinking about lists, I realized, I probably need to make a list of the lists I need to make or keep......
