A PEARL OF WISDOM.

Good morning. I have written before there is a certain stillness you get at five AM that doesn't seem to be at any other. The deadness of three o'clock has passed, the world has started to waken, but there is a quiet that still envelopes the air around you. As if the day is waiting with anticipation to spring into life. I love this time of day. Steve is asleep. There is no television, no radio blasting, no sound yet from the neighborhood streets. Just quiet. I don't even have to listen to my own voice. "I", my dog and I slip around the house with only the sounds of the appliances running. Just her and I. I love it.

What's on my mind today? You know I am not totally sure. I have been having a run of empty mind days lately. Old memory's come back and I think I'd like to write about that, or an opinion and I file that away in my brain for further use. But I guess I stick it too far back because then I don't remember.

I have had a Documentary on my mind that I watched on HBO Saturday night. It was called "Magic and Bird." I loved it. I always liked pro basketball and use to watch it. I loved the Lakers and of course Magic was Lakers. But I loved Bird too. And after I watched the documentary I really like him. I wish the show would have gone on another hour. I was so caught up in it.

I don't watch lots of television, so I pick carefully what I use my eyes on. I want it to be something good. This definitely fell into that category. I have never been a big daytime television fan, especially soap operas. I put soaps in a class with wrestling. Ugg. I refuse to believe there is really anyone out there that really believes wrestling is real. Now maybe they watch it for the entertainment value. Which I see no value in any way about it. But if they like it, so let it be. But to try and say its real. Please, maybe a small child might believe, but even then by six or so they probably start knowing the difference. And I know there are people especially women who love the soaps. I have never understood the idea you could sit and watch hour after hour of Soaps and not go insane. I know a woman though that watches CNN and the weather channel for her Television viewing. Just sits and watches CNN hour after hour. But at least in doing that she is getting something out of it. She is at least getting information.
Soaps? I'm sorry. I see no value in them at all.

But of course give me "Dancing with the stars."and I am a happy camper. So I guess its choose your own poison. I know many people that wouldn't be caught dead watching that show. I dance around the living room. Clap for my favorites and act like the loony that we all know I am. I guess there just is no accounting for taste. So to each their own.

So I will leave you for another day. No pearls of wisdom today. Oh wait a minute. I guess there never is any Pearls of wisdom from me. I guess I'm thinking of "Dear Abby". Maybe I can think over night and somehow come up with some. But may Peace walk with you today and no shadows fall over your footsteps. Now will that count for a Pearl? Maybe tomorrow I can come up with a little more wisdom.
