And it goes deeper than people realize
I was thinking today how many people it took just for me to get up and get out the door in the morning and I got dizzy.
1. the people who built my bed.
2. My sheets and bedding I love
3. My Cell Phone/ Alarm Clock/ Life line
4. The robe I wear to head to the bathroom
5. Toilet Paper
6. Tooth brush
7. Tooth paste
8. Soap
9. Water supplu
10. the plumbers
11. electricians
12. Electric company
13. The Heater I use because i like the bathroom extra hot
14. the Hair dryer
15. Deorderant
16. the SINK, Toilet, Mirror Ok out of the bathroom
17. The farm that sold the eggs to the store that I got my breakfast from
18. The Stove that I love nice black stove with ceramic top
19. Ok you are starting to get the Idea
20. and as the door closed behind me and I headed to the van I didn't build I thought about builders of my house
and the President, not President Obama, but Franklin Roosevelt. See I live in one of his New Deal Condos from 1948.
And in my town they are all over the place, you can't throw a rock and not hit a New Deal complex in Arlington VA.
I wonder if someone will be able to say that about George W. Bush in 70 years, Or President Obama?
There are so many people who made it possible for me to even get out of bed today. and I tried to thank them all this morning I really did. This is what the Republicans don't understand. We don't do it all ourselves because it's impossible to do all ourselves. and if we understand that we are actually in a very small community known as the human race, if people see the world in terms of we are all floating on the same rock in space together. Maybe we will realize we all have common struggles and needs that we can help each other with, Daily.
You Cousin is a very sad person, if she really believes she is all alone, I think she is the one who needs the most prayer.
