“All people know the same truth; our lives consist of how we choose to distort it.”   —   Woody Allen

(Or, don’t choose.  It’s not all that easy to go against the way you’ve been raised.  It’s actually easier to fight your upbringing if you’ve somehow been greatly disappointed, or traumatized.  Otherwise, we tend to go with what we . . . know.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Mike Blocker Speaks

When you build security walls to keep you safe from potential danger,

you also keep out the potential blessings. consider this, there is no good or bad, there is no right or wrong, there just “IS”. Our minds make things right or wrong. Open your heart, open your mind, make yourself vulnerable and connect with others.

Answer:  WIDER AUDIENCE

(Our fast food nation, combined with the physical isolation of the handheld device era, has made us into an ever increasing nation of obeseness.  Everywhere you go you see too much junk in the trunk and other forms of chunk.  It certainly doesn’t help that they send out the psycho-babble message of:  be proud of your body.  Especially when that conflicts with all of the health warnings of obesity.  We all don’t have to be model thin, or Mr. Universe buff, but the physical health concerns should outweigh the ego stroking.  I’ve been struggling with my love handles for all of my adult life.  Getting and staying in shape is definitely not an easy task, but the long term benefits are worth the effort.

No new clue words today, but all of the jumbles came up as new.  It took me a few seconds to see “legend”.  The answer letter layout was beautifully cryptic.  The clue/question made for a nice lead in to the answer.  Nice book signing cartoon.  Be well – try to get fit – and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
