I like to think so

Sometimes I need to go to the top of the mountain to regain balance in my life.  If I can't literally get there, then a picture of some of my favorite mountains in Montana helps. Today has been one of those days of going from the bottom of the mountain in frustration to the top in renewed hope and energy.  This project will come together yet, I am certain, but not without climbing many mountains first.

I get all kinds of inspiration while I am out on the trail in the morning.  However, when I finally get back to my computer to write in my blog, there seems to be a dam holding back those creative juices, with only small holes letting some of it flow.  But this is, generally speaking, what I was thinking about today.

I like to think that when we say, in our Pledge of Allegiance," one nation, under God", we understand that that means the Golden Rule, too, and that means every one is our neighbor, whether we like them or not and we need to treat them as such.

I like to think that when we buy foods sold in bulk we are not only thinking about saving a buck, but how it means less packaging going into our landfills.

I like to think that when we go to church we are trying to think divine thoughts and not derogatory thoughts about  the person in front of us.

Just a few  of what I think about when out on the trail. Nothing profound, really.

I did talk to a city official today who offered this observation, " Sometimes you need to do what is right even if it means it isn't the most profitable decision to make."  Now that is profound, coming from such an unlikely source.
