FaceBook Survey Scam
Human curiosity regarding disaster sucks; it somehow lets us know we just escaped with our life & we should live better (poor them; I'm OK)
People who capitalize on it are the dredge, yet they are everywhere (anyone watch the news media blitz?)
Relax: I think I recall a verse somewhere -
'Be still & know that I am God'
Too bad reminders are required: Once again, Just human nature.
mirror from someone else's eyes. Too Bad mirrors don't speak: then again, I guess it makes us look more in depth & pay attention.
Do we pay attention, see the world around us, really interact? Or do we just quietly observe while buried in the fodder of 'communication'?
"Somethings happening here. What it is's not exactly clear...."
Be Safe in cyberspace.
Look up once in a while: there are people everywhere. One of them may just need a real mirror/observation in the sunshine or the dark:
Humanity doesn't require a keyboard.
Say hello or chisel on a rock wall: Neither of those need an upgrade; just someone to see it.

Two Wolves
A friend sent this to me via email, Thought I'd share...
---------
An Old Cherokee Saying
This is probably one of the best I've heard, life explained!
TWO WOLVES
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.
He said, "My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all.
"One is Evil - It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
"The other is God - It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather:
"Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, " The one you feed."

Passing of a dear man; John H. Broughton
As a young teenager, figuring out life in the midst of adolescent turmoil, there was a person who made things clear when everything seemed complicated.
Although I have lost touch in the passing years, he is still with me in many ways.
The world is a much better place since he was in it.

Here's a copy -
Born Oct. 31, 1939, in DeKalb, Ill., the son of Charles O. and Alberta (Riipi) Broughton, John married Joyce (Falon) Feltz on Oct. 30, 1992, in Portage, Wis.; they made their home on Lake Wisconsin.
John attended DeKalb schools as well as Kishwaukee College, and Northern Illinois University. He attained a Graduate Realtor Institute Designation in Peoria.
He was formerly a Realtor, as well as operating several businesses of his own. He retired from the auto business at age 55. He liked to refer to himself as "just a numbers guy." John's life-long passion was fishing. He founded DeKalb County Anglers Association and was its president until moving to Wisconsin. He owned and operated "Big John's Tank and Tackle" when Shabbona Lake opened. John was a custom rod builder, having sold rods worldwide. He also repaired and collected fishing reels. After moving to Wisconsin, he worked in a tackle shop part-time. He was also an avid eBayer. He enjoyed genealogy, crosswords, various crafts, woodworking, rod building and fishing.
John is survived by his wife, Joyce Broughton of Poynette; brother, Charles A. (Ellen) of Colorado Springs; daughter, Deborah L. Griffin of Morehead, Ky.; son, John C. Broughton of Flat Rock, Michy; three grandchildren, Brittainy and Hillary of Flat Rock, Michy, and Caroline of Staunton, Va.; and three nephews, Kevin, Eric and Greg.
He was preceded in death by his parents.
A memorial service will be held at a later date in DeKalb. The family suggests memorials to Fishing Has No Boundaries Inc. or to St. Jude's Hospital.
