We all know about the runner that loses a race in a less then a second but how many times have we’ve been saved by a mere second? The news reports on those that have missed their flight; only to find that the plane they were supposed to be on crashed.  We start out a little late for work, then traffic ensues  from a  car accident or a telephone line falling down on a road that if we had been on time would have hit us.   How many times have these miracles happened and we didn’t even know that they actually occurred.  It might actually pay to be late so you’ll have the chance to try again next time.

Most people who are angry with you for a small matter (excluding Felonies and wearing white in the winter) will usually forgive you on their time frame even for the fashion mistake noted. It is just the time that you will have to bear before that forgiveness can occur.  Here are a few ways you can help the healing begin.

(1) Apologize just once and clearly even if it’s to say I’m sorry I hurt your feelings.

(2) Be polite and offer greetings to that person who has been hurt even if their still Mr. or Mrs. Grouch.

(3) Give the individual plenty of space

(4) Although the conversations might not exist for awhile act like nothing else has changed.

(5) Find other activities that keep your mind off the conflict that has occurred.

(6) Once the friendship bond starts to heal act like nothing has happened before, until the time that bond is strong enough to have such a  frank conversation. Which may never occur in many a relationship.

(7) Put a mental note in your head on your “friends” sensitivities and try your best to avoid those discussions even if it feels like you’re walking on eggshells.

(8) Make new friends that you can be more comfortable with.

911 has had a permanent mark on my being as if someone has put a tattoo on my face. For before that day I lived as if the U.S. was safe like an Island on the moon but after that date I realize how close violence and hate can come to our own shore.  Freedom will last only as long as we are willing to live and die for it and peace can only be secure with the proper defense against those who would bring war to our shore.   G00d people must not be willing to sit idly by as evil grows around them.   911 is the call for help and let us realize a that G-D is willing to answer but will we only call in such emergencies?  Let us never forget this date and may G-D give us the strength and resources to insure it will only be a lasting memory and nothing like this will ever happen again

       Last night my neighborhood had a sudden blackout that made me consider how vulnerable we truly are.  Large pockets of our population are unable to protect themselves and their families if a sudden terrorist attack would occur because the gun laws in New York, Detroit, New Jersey, Connecticut etc have neutered them. I’d rather not give any specifications should this blog fall into the wrong hands but let’s just say one controlled blackout could leave many section in NYC in control by terrorist elements. It’s time the police department realize this could occur and at least train some civilians to protect the community should G-D forbid such a crisis occur.  A strong defense will always prevent a strong offensive attack to occur.
