It is always hard to watch the people we care about have health struggles. <br />One of the things I love about your posts Nancy is that you are honest about what you believe but are tolerant of the diverse ways that people think. Politics and faith are always touchstones for people. Most often people's fundamental beliefs are not going to change but as long as one agrees to disagree then it is possible to have good relationships with other viewpoints. I am confident you will find the way to untangle your threads. Take care.

It is hard to differentiate between standing up for what you believe in and just shouting for no purpose. For me, it really does matter. I am ever aware of how incredibly and randomly lucky I am. For instance, we just came home from a lovely vacation when I saw a man standing with a sign that said he would work for food. I couldn't get past the feelings of guilt, luck and how so many people who make far reaching decisions have no life experience with poverty and hardship. <br />I see so many messages of hate. It concerns and scares me. I'm not sure I can stay quiet.<br />On another note, I hope you mend your friendships. They are so important in this world. I count myself lucky to call you my friend.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17668428055675869313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27429478.post-54926681215437390932012-08-08T10:08:52.357-04:002012-08-08T10:08:52.357-04:00I have been thinking much along the same lines reg...I have been thinking much along the same lines regarding politics and civility. Strange how that works, no? Coming from a family with divergent political affiliations, we have learned to simply not discuss politics unless we are talking within our political leanings. Unfortunately, this also has become the norm in our family when it comes to religion as well. Some days I just channel Rodney King.Three Birds Inspiredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10462935193167668508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27429478.post-79788267237768410372012-08-08T09:48:15.934-04:002012-08-08T09:48:15.934-04:00Tolerance, healing, reconciliation - all related t...Tolerance, healing, reconciliation - all related threads.
