Pride and Prejudice

Not sure where this title came from. Sometimes I am just running ad hoc. Actually wasn't going to do any posting till the air cleared. Got lost in a white-out outside of Davidson the other day coming back from seeing my Mom. There was another one today apparently east of us here....on the news anyway.

I have been very very tired all week. This morning I had to work, but only untill 11am. But then I seemed to need some rest until almost supper time. Then I had to get some socks for my Mom...they said she could use some. It is very cold out right now...but I don't want to complain because we need some cold. This winter has been the warmest that I can ever remember.

I would like to show "An Inconvenient Truth" here, in my building, to anyone who wants to come and see it. I have been trying to get up some courage.

I am also trying just to dwell on the 'positive'. What most people know as 'the little while lies'. So that leaves out a lot that cannot be talked about. I usually look at most things very neutrally, and really try to go beyond 'the good and the bad'...'the right and the wrong'....as much as I am humanly able.

Actually I think the title came from the idea expressed in the "Boundin' " movie from Pixar. They express the idea of being "proud" of oneself...even if someone takes everything you have away... like the sheep in the animation. My next thought always is when one mentions "pride" is: be careful. "Pride cometh before the fall"...(from the Bible I think). I do not usually feel the emotion "pride". I only used that word in one of my posts because of its mention in this animation. Usually I am too cautious to feel pride. Satisfaction, yes! If anything, that is what I can feel; satisfaction. At doing my best...whatever it is.
