“All of us might wish at times that we lived in a more tranquil world, but we don’t. And if our times are difficult and perplexing, so are they challenging and filled with opportunity.” (RFK) I’m trying to recall when it was ever a tranquil world. Certainly Bobby’s years could not be called tranquil. What we need to look for in “our time” are the challenges and the opportunities. They are there. ;-) Jack

FROM OUTHOUSE JUDY: "They were the best of times they were the worst of times." We have never lived in a perfect world or one even close...since Adam and Eve. But, it's what you do in the best and worst of times that really matters.

FROM L IN ILLINOIS: Yes, the challenges are there, but isn't it EXHAUSTING? I feel as if I no longer live in America with all this nonsense being crammed down our throats. Can't wait till it's over and we, as a country, get back on track. FROM JACK: What is "on track" for one is the opposite for another. Something else is waiting around the corner to get our thoughts and concerns going in another direction . And, so it goes.

FROM MOLINER CF: Just what I needed today. Thanks!

FROM SH IN ILLINOIS: I think it was tranquil in the Garden of Eden before the Fall - - and that would be it. FROM JACK: Tranqil...That's an interesting word. Perhaps and example of ONOMATOPOEIA.
