Headlines give me pause in my day to day. I read and see the soaring costs of education and the evil twin of 9% unemployment. Visions of struggling students, including my own children's struggles to get an education that comes loaded with promise and debt; this is what "occupys" my head and heart. Another headline tells me there is a growing shortage of health care workers. The Obama administration is going to spend billions on innovative programs directed at fast tracking Americans into the health care field. Oh, but wait! Who can pay and how can every child benefit? So, let's not wait for the answers that may never come. The small contributions can help and my quest is not in vain if we can help someone get that education.
Bringing the thoughts that "occupy" my mind into the realm of possibility gives me hope for the future.
Thought I would check for a posting today, since it seemed like a good day for pilgrims.
