Never be afraid to compliment people. Yes, I know this isn't spiritual, again! But it's so important to let people know that you care about them, and you never know when you might just need that little pick me up!

Day 42
My most grievous apologies, I have once again started slacking. Last week was just so crazy, I was barely home, and when I was, all that I had in me just wanted to sleep. Today, I have a message that can be applied spiritually, but also to life in general.
Always remember who made you what you are. One day, you'll want to thank them.
Love always,
Mel

Day 41
Frustrated. Disgusted. Concerned. Afraid for. Praying for.
Those are my five adjectives that I've decided best cover my emotional spectrum for the BP execs, and the general mess they're in. I'm not saying they shouldn't be the ones to deal with it because I'm a big proponent of the 'you've made your bed now sleep in it' mentality. How else are we to be expected to learn from out mistakes?
Frustrated.
I feel that they should be employing NASA and all of the other geniuses around the world to fix this. Not the people who let the situation continue on to the extent that this catastrophe could happen. Also, they really need to amp up the number of people cleaning up this mess. Let's be honest. They have the money to afford it. Heck, just one of the execs could pay for all of the scientists with a years salary. I feel that instead of making themselves sound like idiots in front of the news crews, that they should be rolling up their sleeves and cleaning off the grass as well as changing the booms with the 20,000 locals that they've hired to do it for them.
Disgusted.
The way that the exec's are speaking, this is a blip on a radar screen to them. This is a nuisance that caused them to miss their tee time with the higher ups in society. I despise the fact they don't realize that entire communities are suffering because of this. You aren't the only ones who want to get back to your lives, so stop acting like it.
Concerned.
Now you must be thinking that you've got my whole stance figured out by from the last two points right? Wrong. Just because they've royally messed up, it doesn't mean it's ok to point and laugh, and jeer, and riot. What good is all the pressure we're putting on them doing? Sure some people preform well under pressure, and they're lucky to be a rarity. Haven't you ever helped a friend who messed up? Punished a child because you loved them- because they need to learn from that mistake, and then given them a hug, even against their will. Why aren't we hugging BP now?
Afraid for.
I'm terrified that people will never see fit to forgive, and let live. It's not as if BP intended for this to happen. Sure they knew it was a possibility due to their erroneous ways, but wanted it to happen? No. Big oil companies do not want to spend their money paying for dish soap to clean birds.
Praying for.
If we don't, who will. I find it sad that while half of America is still more fired up than Chicago in 1871, the other half have forgotten. This is the self-centered society that we live in. I would hope that I am not the only one praying for a multitude of things surrounding this situation.
You'll have to excuse my ranting, as well as my absence. Friday and Saturday I was sick, as well attending my sister's graduation. Following that, I got rather sunburned on the boat, and was sleeping (painfully!) on the couch, because my Grandparents were staying in my room. And then my internet went cahpoot! I feel slightly conspired against :P just kidding!
Love,
Mel
