The Key of Choice

2016 Presidential Election

Who Will Run for president?

It is early days yet in the election campaign and I believe we are going to have many more interesting days ahead. The question in many people’s mind is who will run for president from the Republican and the Democrats. I doubt that the two front runners on each side will be the ones running for the presidency. Instead I believe Hilary will be blindsided and we have either Sanders of Biden running for the Democrats and Ben Carson running for the Republicans. Unless of course Trump stops acting like the loose cannon he is and tones it down. Either way I don’t believe Hilary will get the Democratic ticket.

Thought for Today

When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then for that is just the time the tide will turn.

Crisis in Syria

I was thinking about the crisis in Syria and thought how ironic that the situation there took such a nasty turn. It started with the people’s dissatisfaction with the then government . They were protesting for change and better leadership. However what they now have is not what they bargained for. It is as if the gates of hell opened up and the devils within unleashed on them.

Everywhere across Syria there is destruction and ruins. Hundreds of thousand have been displaced losing their home and everything they own. Over two hundred and twenty thousand have lost their lives and there is no end in sight to the civil war. How did the people’s desire for change turn into something so horrible?

Thought for Today

We all have issues, we all face problems at one time or another.  How we deal with them make all the difference. If we take a defeatist approach then we have already lost the battle. Today take a positive approach. Say no matter what comes my way, I will not give in, I will not quit, and I will overcome.

Germany Closes Borders

The influx of refugees into Germany might be drastically reduced as the country is closing its borders. Thousands of refugees have already poured into Germany and this new measure will dash the hopes of many more. Security concerns could be part of the reason. The new measures hopefully will bring some pressure on other European Union Member States to do something about the refugee crisis.

Porcupines And The Coldest Winter Ever

Author Unknown

It was the coldest winter ever, and many animals died because of the cold. The porcupines, realizing the situation, decided to group together. This way they covered and protected themselves; but the quills of each one wounded their closest companions even though they shared their heat with each other. 

After awhile, they decided to distance themselves one from the other to stop being wounded.

As they did this, they began to die… alone and frozen. So they had to make a choice: either accept the quills of their companions or disappear from the Earth. Wisely, they decided to go back to being together. This way they learned to live with the little wounds that were caused by the close relationship with their companion, but the most important part of it, was the heat that came from the others that enabled them to survive
