Cool Things; Brain Things; and a little about this blog.

New and Cool innovations for Pleasure, Comfort, and/or Business!  (Maybe just for Fun!)  That's what this blog is all about!  And.............

 All I can find out about "brain damage" particularly that which is caused by accident and also very different but somewhat the same, strokes. 

 As some of you may know, and so others interesed may know as well, I have a 25 year old son who was diabled in an auto accident 7 1/2 years ago.  His Mother took it upon herself to become his full-time caregiver and advocate, which is wonderful, except for those times when we can't forget why we divorced.  But Joe needs her and he'd never get along without her.  Then I suffered a stroke out of the blue!  I'd be dead if it weren't for (Who?..........) my ex-wife!   

The internet is a great place to acquire information second to none!  But, it takes a lot of time.  Some info is great and some of it is a waste of time!  I've got time..........I'm going to spent my time deciphering it and bringing out what I think is cool or pertinent, just for fun or break through news! 

Here's my entry for today.  I love this thing!  I'm going to make one!

Where are we Heading?

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings, but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints; we spend more, but have less; we buy more but enjoy it less.

We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; we have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgement; more experts, but more problems; more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life; We've added years to life, not life to years.

We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor. We've conquered outer space, but not inner space; We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul; we've split the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less; we plan more, but accomplish less.

We've learned to rush, but not to wait; we have higher incomes, but, lower morals.

We build more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication; We've become long on quantity, but short on quality.

These are the days of two incomes, but more divorce; of fancier houses, but broken homes.

These are the days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throw away morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. Where are we heading ....?

If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days.  But the family we left behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.

And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our family an unwise investment indeed.

 So what is the morale of the story????

 Don't work too hard... and you know what's the full word of family?

 FAMILY =

(F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER, (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU
