“I want life to be effortless, like it was before”
This morning I ran into an acquaintance, one who I had not seen in some time, and we both started talking about what is going on in life, the stress we are facing due to the economy/business climate, and just all around general happiness, when the following comment is made:
“I want life to be effortless, like it was before”
That really got me thinking. For me, life really was effortless before. Everything just seemed to fall into place without any major effort on my part; as a result I didn’t worry about major things… I didn’t fret over when and where life was going, it just would go. I didn’t worry about making a life for myself (or the life I wanted) as it seemed to always play out.
Then something changed.
I have yet to identify what that change was and where it came from, but since that change life is no longer effortless. Everything seems to be a struggle. I am not referring to depression or health issues; rather LIFE in general seems to be a struggle. It almost feels as if I’m fighting the forces of the universe – and I don’t even know I’m doing it.
I just found that comment to hit home.
Chia Obama?!?
As I was sitting around last week with the monkey virus, I happened to see a disturbing commercial…. A “WTF” commercial. The Chia Obama. Just the tone of the commercial seemed to be this odd quasi-patriotic event trying to push the plant spouting Presidential bust as a must have for any true American.
Well, Walgreens doesn’t seem to like the product and pulled it from inventory:
We decided to pull the product because it didn’t fit with our corporate image,” he said in a company statement. “We also didn’t want to be subject to any misinterpretation over the product. People could interpret it through a political viewpoint or other viewpoints and we want to avoid that situation.”
So… is there some hidden political viewpoint that is trying to be pushed or is someone simply trying to make a quick buck?
