I don’t know if you subscribe to Seth Godin’s blog or not, but if you don’t, I recommend it. I enjoy his thoughts, insights and ideas a lot. Very inspiring.
This lastest piece by him has completely hit the nail on the head I reckon.
He argues against all the “fear mongering” which is being promulgated and in favour of a different approach – to become a “hope monger”. I love that. We are bombarded with fear-inducing stories and it’s feeling like serious manipulation and attempts at control. Can we really go about our ordinary lives expecting (or fearing) the worst in every day? What would life be like if we did? Well……increasingly it’s like that anyway! What a difference it would make to our everyday to assume a default position of hope instead of fear.
Well said, Seth!

Morning has Broken!
I have sang this song every morning for as long as I can remember I have even sung it to patients I have cared for in the hospital.
I work Nights and I start my shift with a song and end it with song.
I was once written up for singing to my patients. (My voice is not that bad but some people attitude is.)
Story: 0530 AM co-worker was singing “I’m awake, awake I’m awake…” I said thats not a morning song,” and Emily and Jean asked “What was a good song to wake up to,” so I sang Morning has broken to them. They were not ready for that.
When I was done most of the night staff and Patients had gather to listen and all agreed it was a much better song!
I want to thank-you for the nice comment you left on my sit and this is ow I live my life.
“judge not, for you shall be judged with the same measure by which you judge, look always for the good, then if you must look at the bad, and bless it.
Look a person in the eye. Say good morning or Goodnight, first. Don’t be afraid to smile and laugh. Laughter is one of God’s greatest gifts to us and we do not use it near enough. God Bless you all and keep you safe … Grandma Scott
