Down here it's hard to separate things as we're in the fray; up there we get a View from Above as to what is really going on down here.

Wisdom
"Tis a Mistake to think this Fault
[tyranny] is proper only to Monarchies; other Forms of Government are
liable to it, as well as that. For where-ever the Power that is put in
any hands for the Government of the People, and the Preservation of
their Properties, is applied to other ends, and made use of to
impoverish, harass, or subdue them to the Arbitrary and Irregular
Commands of those that have it: There it presently becomes Tyranny,
whether those that thus use it are one or many."
-- John Locke
(1632-1704) English philosopher and political theorist

Prepping

| Boy Scout Motto, "Be Prepared" |
Organization, what is it? Well, it's a method by which you get the clutter out of your life, get your act together, your life together and create a baseline from which to start planning for your future. You can't make intelligent decisions when you're head is full of a zillion things and you're tripping over everything. And, being organized can sometimes mean the difference between life and death.
These last few months the urge to go through things, sort things, discard things that I don't need anymore, sell or give away is nagging me. And I'm finding that my friends and neighbors feel the same way I do and are getting rid of stuff.
When these thoughts come at me and won't leave me alone, there's a reason why so I stick with the task until it's done. These days there's no telling what's going to happen anymore, what's just around the corner that will catch us off guard unexpectedly and leave us helpless. So it's best to be cognizant of this and plan accordingly, as best you can. A plan, no matter how small is better than no plan at all.
Keep your gas tank filled, stock up on bottled water, canned goods and other necessities. It doesn't hurt to have a sleeping bag, a small hand held radio, a couple of pillows, a med kit and energy bars in the trunk of your car. Have a map of the roads near your home or apartment and a plan to exit the city or town where you live, if you need to make it to friends or relatives.
Get Prepared. Be Prepared. Stay Prepared.
There's a lot of craziness going on in the world right now.

Save a Life (it might just be yours)
Do a small kindness every day
Say, "you're sorry"
Let the person standing behind you in line go first
Compliment someone
Smile
Take time to smell the roses
Take a nice, hot shower
Dim the lights, light a candle and pour yourself a drink
Listen to Meditation Music
Take up gardening
Hang a beautiful picture on your wall
Pay for someone's groceries
Make your bed
Visit a nursing home
Feed the homeless
Thank G-d for your blessings
Kiss a baby
Hug your kids
Be faithful
Be honest
Be patient
Be respectful
Praise G-d
Do your homework
Clean your room
Brush your teeth
Strive to be the best you can
Remember birthdays and anniversaries
Save your money
Stay healthy
Surround yourself with positive friends
~Pray~

If you can think of anymore, add them to this list...
