Each day is precious – and should be appreciated, enjoyed and shared as much as possible.

How and WHERE someone is buried is often important – to those who may want to visit their grave, tomb, monument, or wall (of honor). Most of what happens (in human society) after a person dies is for the benefit of the living who knew or had some connection to the person who is now dead. Funerals, wakes, prayers, caskets, and graves/markers are more for those who remember the “deceased” than for the body of the person who is no longer using it (who may or may not even be buried and “resting” there).

In many ways, all we really do in life is make memories – for ourselves and others. That which is not memorable is almost as if it did not occur or matter at all. Memorial Day is not a “holiday” as much as a reminder to remember – especially those who have died in “service” to us. Regardless of your political opinion, what your past experience was, or how the people in uniform are (mis)used, there is a reason why those in our military/armed forces are considered as “serving” – and why a holiday in their honor is deserving.

Most of Life’s lessons aren’t learned in school – unless you consider Life itself a kind of school. Some people have learned all they need to know in kindergarten; others from watching Star Trek; still others through military service (especially in boot camp/basic training). The Bible, Aesop’s Fables, Ben Franklin’s Autobiography, and Sun Tzu’s Art of War (among many others) are but a few popular compilations of lessons learned by others.

You’ve probably heard that “everything is energy” and that “where attention goes, energy flows”, but you may not be aware of just how important different (pulsating) electromagnetic frequencies are to life. Much of that energy is flowing through space (directly and as a result of reflection, refraction, or diffraction) in electromagnetic waves.

Broadcasting originally referred to planting seeds. If we are not careful about what we allow to take root, we may later have difficulty ridding ourselves of it.

When you squeeze, stress, or apply pressure to something (or someone), you often find out what’s inside: the “juice within”. Sometimes, what you get is what you expect; sometimes, it’s a surprise. The only way to know for sure what something (or someone) is made of – without taking them apart – is to apply a little pressure and see what kind of response you get. I don’t mean pushing people’s buttons for no reason, but no one really knows what they can, or cannot, handle (or how) until put in the situation. Despite what they may think, few people really know how they will react or what they are (or are not) capable of until “put to the test” – when and where it counts (the most).
