So many things that I wanted to write about, but I have to pick only one given the time that I have right now.....
Let see, it got to be the Ted Kennedy's speech during the opening of the democratic nomination convention. I 'm usually not a big fan of him or his involvement in politics. I often find him detached from reality of what America is today and will be in the future. But beside my own personal judgement of the man, I got to tip my hat to him for the inspirational speech that he gave this past Monday. The man has brain tumor and yet still manages to deliver a very powerful speech that inspired his party, illustrated his passion for politics, showcased his cleverness to move people and his undeniable strength to subdue his struggle during the presence of his peers. If nothing else, I saw someone that love what his was doing and the thing that he was was doing was loving him back. To be able to do that is a very powerful experience and a very fortunate one. It seems like as people income erode and the idea of self entitlement plague the rest of the world, the search for the passion become less reachable. Maybe the former dictated the later. But regardless which, it takes considerable amount of e(motion) to gather the strength to get you to stand up against the head wind. I am just glad that I got a chance to see it.

Seasons
The author is unknown since I got this through an email. Time to just blog it and clean up my inbox.
"People come into your life for a REASON, a SEASON, or a LIFETIME. When you know which one it is for a person, you will know what to do for that person.
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a Godsend, and they are! They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrong doing on your part, or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they just walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered, and now it is time to move on.
Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They bring you an experience of peace, or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons: things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person, and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant."
I can read this and it can give me joy, at other times it gives me hope, and at other times it gives me sadness. Maybe this is the triangulation of life elements or maybe someone who is really good at writing post cards.

Weather Me This
I've not blogged in awhile. Thought I need to make an observation and hopefully leads to something beyond that.
Today's bizarre weather makes me wonder. Gloomy, hot, spots of sunshine, drizzle of rain, cloud low, yet not low enough to prevent the planes from taking off, one moment it is hint of Indian summer, while the other the cloud speeds through the sky.
As I got out of my office today, such weather illustrated how my emotional spirit has been for the past couple of days. Sometime I think SF weather is as volatile as my emotional being. Maybe that is why beyond the chaos, this city's weather match me. When we both have out sunny days everything is as sweet as it can be. But when the cloud comes in, we experience the airy and almost scary thoughts. Can it be that my emotion as well as my life is like the changing of seasons. Some things passes by, while other stays, and while other go but never left. Cancer are crazy sometimes, I say never give birth to a child that would fall into the astrological sign of the water crab. They are really hard to eat and it takes forever to get the meat of it all.
With that the signing off of the simple and yet complex....me.
