Mutant Powers

What mutant power would you want to have..?

When asked the question, which surprisingly comes up pretty often, my answer is always Wolverine. I want to have his powers. Super strong, excellent sense of the surroundings, the ability to heal quickly, and eternal life. These all seem like amazing powers to possess. It would allow me to protect others, see how to make the future better, and to have a sense something is about to happen.

I am starting to rethink my answer. Now. I would want to be Professor X. (Yes, I do realise I am show off my nerdiness) Why Professor X, do you say? Because he has the ability to find others who are like him. And yes, the ability to pull the occasional Jedi mind trick on someone would be pretty cool too.

This world is so vast and has so many people on it, there has to be an easier way to find the like minded people than having a mutant, magical powers. When I look at this world, I realize my tininess. There are other people with my values, views, goals... but where are they all? I have found a few that are the foundation of my family. This old saying applies to me, "Better to have a few close friends, than lots of acquaintances."

I wonder if dogs ever feel this way. A dog are of the same species but within that there are so many different breeds.

We Need Each Other....

No really, we do!!!

It has become more noticeable to me, that we absolutely need one another.

What crazy nonsense am I talking about? It's simple in my eyes... A person makes eye contact with me, there are two choices. ONE: look away and pretend I don't notice them. TWO: make a connection

A simple smile can create a chain reaction of smiles. How awesome would it be to know your ONE smile made 100 people smile? And those 100 smiles made 10,000 smiles. Those 10,000 smiles made 100,000,000 smiles. How amazing..?

Why can't we see how simple, yes I said simple already, it is to make an impact on someone. You can actually do this for yourself. Look a reflective surface at yourself smile, even if you are faking it. You will smile back. Try it out and let me know how it works out.

Happiness spreads just as fast as negativity; which of the two would you rather spread like wildfire? For sure, I want to spread happiness.

A friend of mine said, "Community is religion." It does not matter what it is but, it is people of common interest coming together and being with one another. We need each other. I think about all of the corners of the earth, many communities, villages, or tribes, it's all the same thing, would not survive without each other.

It's my observation that we are getting farther and farther away from each other. Seems like a dangerous route. I like to pick up the phone and call someone instead of sending endless text messages. We need both physical contact and emotional connections with one another. 

We can make the change! WE, regular everyday people can spread a sense of humanity. We can start by treating each person we run into with a little more care and concern. Even if it is just a smile. It is time to become less egocentric. Try looking outwardly. Look around you and take in what is really happening. 

Enough of my ramblings for the evening. My hopes for my blog are "SIMPLE." I want to share my ideas and experiences to let people know that they are not alone and that, no matter what, everything, no matter how big or small, will be okay. I pink promise you this!!
