Humanity

We are human, we are family – we all look at the same stars, we all laugh and cry, we all love.

When it comes to our families, we sometimes see only our differences. We see the way our parents cling to ideas we don’t believe, or act in ways we try not to copy. We see how practical one of our siblings is and wonder how we can be from the same gene pool. Similarly, within the human family we see how different we are from each other, in ways ranging from gender and race to geographical location and religious beliefs. It is almost as if we think we are a different species sometimes. But the truth is, in our personal families as well as the human family, we really are the same.

A single mother of four living in Africa looks up at the same stars and moon that shine down on an elderly Frenchman in Paris. A Tibetan monk living in India, a newborn infant in China, and a young couple saying their marriage vows in Indiana all breathe the same air, by the same process. We have all been hurt and we have all cried. Each one of us knows how it feels to love someone dearly. No matter what our political views are, we all love to laugh. Regardless of how much or how little money we have, our hearts pump blood through our bodies in the same way. With all this in common, it is clear we are each individual members of the same family. We are human.

Acknowledging how close we all are, instead of clinging to what separates us, enables us to feel less alone in the world. Every person we meet, see, hear, or read about is a member of our family. We are truly not alone. We also begin to see that we are perfectly capable of understanding and relating to people who, on the surface, may seem very different from us. This awareness prevents us from disconnecting from people on the other side of the tracks, and the other side of the world. We begin to understand that we must treat all people for what they are–family.

kittengirl,

I bet you are tired now. I hope you had a yummy meal and enjoy your grandson and
family. Prayers to all in your family affected by the fires. If you go out into Black Friday
have fun. 🙂

Going Shopping Today?

@bichon18,

I was a good girl yesterday. Still the scales are out of sight. I had a great time with
a few family and friends. 🙂 I hope you and Jerry had a wonderful dinner. Heidi Daus

@mightymouse,

I was a good girl and I am proud of myself. Now where are those scales I put away too. 🙂

@mightymouse,

I spent part of my childhood in Illinois, I named my son after Brian Piccolo of the
Chicago Bears. ♥ Happy they made it. Good Morning Mightmouse I hope you are
feeling much better. Hey here is your pic. LOL! ♥ This is OZ!

Cherie,

Have fun out there. 🙂 I am starting the Christmas decorations today and it will take a couple
of days because we do outside and inside. I can’t wait to put up a very large Nativity Set. ♥

I may go shopping this weekend. I know the kids are excited. Take care and get some rest
if you can. 🙂 No worries I did save you some Mac and Cheese. ♥ Here is a smoothie to get
you started for the day.

@loaf,

I know this is one of your favorite songs and I am covering it today for you. Enjoy!
Love you Loaf. ♥

A-ha
“Take On Me”

Talking away
I don’t know what I’m to say
I’ll say it anyway
Today is another day to find you
Shying away
I’ll be coming for your love. OK?

Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I’ll be gone
In a day or two

So needless to say
Of odds and ends
But I’ll be stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is OK.
Say after me,
“It’s no better to be safe than sorry.”

Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I’ll be gone
In a day or two

Oh, things that you say. Yeah.
Is it life or just to play my worries away?
You’re all the things I’ve got to remember
You’re shying away
I’ll be coming for you anyway

Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I’ll be gone
In a day

Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I’ll be gone
In a day

Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)

@loaf,

Oh you are so welcome. I love doing it for you. I am wishing you many more great
Celebrations. Loaf I hope a good time was had by all. Wow that is a lot in one day.

I hope the grandkids had a great time too and I love your outfit. ♥ Are you going into
the Black Friday Madness? I will wait there is nothing I need right now. I have time. LOL!
Too many people are out in this neck of the woods. Cars are bumper to bumper and
people are a little rude here. I hope they enjoy it anyway. I shop often so I am going to
let them at it. 🙂 Loaf I am loving this by Iman and she will be here next week. 🙂
