Weekly goals for 11/22/09…Feel your Blessings!

Thanksgiving 2008
Thanksgiving 2008

Hello dearies,
may we all be very thankful for the basics: a home to live in, enough food to eat, our health and the love our family and friends. What could be more bountiful than having these basics which so many people in the world aren’t blessed with having?

Perhaps we could invite a lonely neighbor to our feast, contribute food to organizations that feed the homeless, serve up Thanksgiving Day dinner at one of these charities or donate money to your favorite organization at this time of year. It would light up someone’s life and warm you inside knowing you are “spreading the wealth”, so to speak.

My goals for this week are:

Personal-
Prepare 15 holiday calendars (to be mailed out later.)
Finish decorating for the holidays.
Doctors appt on Fri Nov 27th.
Hopefully see my mom on Nov 24th.
And, of course, prepare a half-turkey/half-vegetarian meal for Thanksgiving!

Professional-

Wage Peace- Make your voice heard! Take Action!

Action Needed:
Your call can stop the government from sending more troops to Afghanistan.

Dear Peace Seekers,

Now is a critical time to make your voice heard.
 
Call the White House comment line today and say you are opposed to sending more U.S. troops to Afghanistan.  The comment line number is 202-456-1111. 


In the coming week, President Obama will likely be making a decision about the role of U.S. troops in Afghanistan. He has rejected the current proposals for additional troops until there is an exit strategy. We believe this is a good sign, and we need more — a decision not to send more troops to the region and to deescalate the war.

The decision will have a dramatic effect on the future of Afghanistan and the stability of the region.
This is the moment when we can have an impact. 
 
If you only take one action for peace this year, please make this phone call to the White House today.  Tell them you’d like the administration to put these elements into their Afghanistan plan.

White House comment line: 202-456-1111
 
Talking Points:
1. No additional troops to Afghanistan.
2. A time line for the withdrawal of U.S. troops and for diplomacy and dialog with all parties to the conflict, without preconditions.
3. Badly needed development aid provided, to be coordinated by civilian-led organizations, not the military.
4. Redirect the more than $44 billion spent yearly on war to supporting real human needs in Afghanistan and at home.
 
Help President Obama make the best decision on Afghanistan.  Please take a moment and make your call today.


Wage peace,
Peter Lems and Mary Zerkel
American Friends Service Committee

Remember, without troops there would be no wars, only two angry leaders! Refuse to support violence and the violence will be eradicated. NO MORE WAR.

Quote by Colleen Wainwright…I’m not sure I agree!

I found this quote in Lillian Brummet’s newsletter, but I’m not sure I agree.

“I love stuff as much as the next guy, but I’ve come to understand that, regardless of the cost of acquiring it, the price of having it is freedom” – Colleen Wainwright

For example, I don’t think that having a bed to sleep on reduces my freedom one bit. Sure, if people become more enamored of possessions than they are of living beings, like people or animals, they are trading in their souls for material objects, however, desiring the basic necessities doesn’t mean trading in one’s freedom.

What do you think?

Halloween talk of pumpkins and turnips…TURNIPS???

DID YOU KNOW?

Jack-o-lanterns trace back to an old Irish tale about a man named Stingy Jack. Unable to enter Heaven because of his stingy ways and turned away by the Devil, Stingy Jack wandered the world, searching for a resting place. To light his way, Stingy Jack used a burning coal in a hollowed out turnip — hence the name “jack-o-lantern”, meaning Jack-of-the-lantern. The first jack-o-lanterns, in fact, were carved out of turnips!
