"Home"...

My song of the night has got me thinking.. First off I should probably elaborate on just what song it is that has me thinking. Which would be, hence the name of this post, Home by Phillip Phillips, the American Idol Winner. There is one line in that song that says this, 'settle down, it'll all be clear.". And it made me start to realize that I need talk less and listen more. I realize that that is not at all what that line was meaning, but that's what it has me pondering. Like, if we 'settle down' our lives a little, and listen to those around us, maybe even use a little bit of 'old fashioned' manners, we could really figure things out in our lives. Maybe the old times when things were simpler really was all its cracked up to be. Think about it, back then there werent 3,000,000 Americans who would harm themselves because they're depressed. There weren't NEAR as many divorces that split families apart. People actually worked for their money. Blood sweat and years went into their jobs and they could actually be proud of their work. To me, that just sounds amazing. So im going to take a small step back and try to incorporate some of those simple jestures of kindness that used to be nomenclature and see where it takes me. This world could use a little 'good' in it... So why not start with me?
