In a daily routine we can become cynical of those around us  but dogs can bring us back to the basics.  Whether it is a tough day at the office or school, dogs have a way to make us smile when we were ready to cry. They show us that it’s not the fancy cars and clothes that are important but the love we share with each other.  Their loyal when others have walked away and stay with us during the most difficult times. Dogs never get embarrassed of how we act a matter of fact they enjoy us most when we’re the silliest. Dogs humanize us so that truly understand unconditional love and friendship.

Take time

looking at watch

 

Like most I often get consumed with work responsibilities that I forget to take time for the truly important things in my life. I don’t mean to say that work isn’t one of my essential ingredients of daily function (except Sabbath) but it is just one of them and I need to make sure I add the other items or my life isn’t really complete. Here are a few items that I believe we all should include in our daily lives (below) and hopefully they’ll remind me as well.

(1) Take a moment to thank those for their little as well as they’re big gifts to our daily life.

(2) Sorry is a word that we often don’t take the time to say to those we have directly or indirectly hurt.

(3) Empathy is a way to add moments to a day as we share someone’s joy or sadness.

(4) Laughter is a way to realize that our crisis can be overcome.

(5) Learning helps us grow each and everyday.

(6) Helping those in need doesn’t take your whole wallet just a part of your heart.

(7) Listening enables us to hear words and sounds we have never heard before.

(8) Prayer to G-D helps you find all these ingredients so that we can find true happiness and productivity in our life’s

Biggest Political Upset – You have been bratized

Posted by Bruce - in Blog, Philosophy, Political - No Comments

DAVID BRAT  BALOONS

 

This is the biggest political upset since a bunch of patriots fought and defeated the greatest military in their times. This upset can be compared to the 1969 World Series or the 1980’s Miracle on Ice. David Brat with almost no name recognition and monies has defeated the 2nd most powerful man in the House of Representatives. It doesn’t matter whether you would have voted for him or not but what matters is David can still beat Goliath today.

Please note I’m so taken by this upset that I’ve neglected other work just to post this blog.  What this means is that your vote still counts no matter what the political consultants and experts might say and that it really takes that fat lady to sing before a defeat can be handed to you. This sends a shiver down ever political incumbent this year that your job is in jeopardy so you better listen to your employees. No politician can now think of their job as a lifetime career but a position they must earn at the ballot box every year.

CUOMO BE WARNED.

Cuomo is vulnerable

Cuomo is vulnerable no matter what the media and political pundits might say. This is a Governor who is wearing nothing but nobody is allowed to see.   We have a strong opponent  named Rob Astorino that is not only done a superb job as Westchester County Executive but is a great communication with wonderful business skills and is a great family man. Will the race be difficult?  Of course but it is winnable. Here are some strategies I hope the Astorino campaign employs to make him our next governor of this great state.

(1) Clear Innovative Solutions for the common problems NY’s face- (Examples include -Traffic, Energy, lack of good paying jobs, higher taxes, poor educational opportunities for our citizens).

(2) Door to Door- The media can ignore you but if you bring the message to the people door to door it will spread like a wildfire.

(3) Radio Shows- Get on as many radio shows as possible with clear solutions to the problems.

(4) Excite your base- Visit as many Church’s, Shul’s, Gun Clubs, Tea Party groups and other conservative places of strength and invite them to get involved.

(5) Don’t be afraid to challenge the norm and offer bold new plans for the future.

(6) Roll up your sleeves, smile but be ready for the mud that will be thrown your way and laugh it all off.

(7) Finally throw out the political consultants and use those monies to spread your message through out the state.

Hockey anyone?

Hockey is a sport that I’ve enjoyed watching when I was a little puppy in L.I. but haven’t looked at again that is until last night.  The puppy part isn’t actually true but it’s been awhile since I actually watched a game. I believe the last game I actually sat through to watch was the Olympic game of the U.S verse Russia.  I couldn’t imagine a better hockey game so why even try to watch another game. It also proved to me that the fighting in the sport could easily be stopped and was sorta miffed that they let it continue.   As time goes on you realize you have less time and therefore you can’t watch every sport. You have to pick and choose and I’ve chosen football because it’s schedule usually works with me and even the commercials are entertaining.

Last night I gave it another look as the NY Rangers battled the LA Kings for the Stanley Cup.  It was as an exciting game as the sport would allow but it was hard to watch continuously  with that little puck going so fast back and forth. I thought I was watching “Pong” (old video game reference) on steroids.  These athletes have incredible talents but unless you see it live I believe it’s easily overlooked.  The constant motion doesn’t lead to the buildup of other sports except as time runs out.  As strange as this might seem I sorta miss the commercial interruptions, that give my mind a moment to get excited again when the action resumes.  To conclude I will stop watch the “Stanley Cup” although it will only be glanced at between my writing, reading and eating.
