Insightful Words by George Carlin







I love this, thought you might too...

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints.

We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time.

We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgement, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.

We talk too much, love too seldom and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life.

We've added years to life, not life to years.

We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor.

We conquered outer space but not inner space.

We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul.

We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice.

We write more, but learn less.

We plan more, but accomplish less.

We've learned to rush, but not to wait.

We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships.

These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes.

These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill.

It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom.

A time when technology can bring this letter to you and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete.

So spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, to say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it.
A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak, and give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Happy Birthday Canada!

This month also happens to be my birthday month and like the beginning of every month I log onto my favourite horoscope to see what the universe has in store for me - is that hokey? Of course it is but whatever... Here's a brief excerpt (yes, I said brief - it's actually 8 pages long) :

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
Your July Horoscope by Susan Miller
"It's your birthday - your favorite time of the year! You have every reason to be optimistic about your year to come, dear Cancer. Life will be brighter than it's been in a long time, for stubborn planetary placements that have held you down are about to move on. You've been through many cosmic storms, particularly in regard to money, but your coming birthday year will be a big improvement over ones past."

Well that sounds promising and apparently the Red Planet - Mars will be heading into my corner starting July 14th and will assist in helping me to, "assertively start a whole new chapter in my life. At that time I will be ready to put into place the plans I am making now."

For those of you in the know, Mercury has been retrograde in Cancer for the last month… thankfully it will leave by July 9th and apparently will give me “a chance this month to fix something that was not working properly." They say this could be a relationship, and that "I will have the time to see if I can make it click again the way it should.” Wish me luck!

Then it declares, that on July 14th there is also a new moon in Cancer – which only happens once a year so I best be taking full advantage of this because it is supposed to “push my dearest plans forward with planetary support” and it is said to have “the power to materialize wishes”. Also, “Actions I assumed were too big to tackle and beyond my ability will suddenly seem possible.”

So it would seem that whatever I do just after the new moon will affect me for the entire next year!! It says, that, “Working with the flow of the universe is the reason we study astrology. It's the best tool you'll ever get for planning, for you can ensure the most success by anticipating upcoming conditions.

Lastly, it states that, "This year, the moon will be in elegant angle to Uranus, the planet of unexpected developments and lucky breaks.” For those of you who have heard my rants of late, this is all very exciting - here's to a new month! P.
