Since we are once again caught in the negative energy caused by the childish game of “my party knows better than yours” that our politicians play all too well instead of focusing on what’s best for our country and its people, I thought I’d lighten things up with some of Will Rogers’s (1879 – 1935) and Mark Twain’s (1835 – 1910) views on politics and government. Enjoy!
“Ancient Rome declined because it had a Senate; now what’s going to happen to us with both a Senate and a House?”
“Be thankful we’re not getting all the government we’re paying for.”
“On account of being a democracy and run by the people, we are the only nation in the world that has to keep a government for four years, no matter what it does.”
“There’s no trick to being a humorist when you have the whole government working for you.”
“Everything is changing. People are taking their comedians seriously and the politicians as a joke.”
“Reader, suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a
member of Congress. But I repeat myself.”
“Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on, or by imbeciles who really mean it.”
A closing thought from Mark Twain:
“The human race has only one really effective weapon and that is laughter.”
As I was writing to my friend Doreen Guma, www.timetoplay.com, this morning, it occurred to me to share with you my “Be In The Now” theory. While work, worries, and all our adult concerns will be here again tomorrow, they are Not here NOW. What is here now is a beautiful, sunny, day on Long Island. So why not take some time to play!
This week I went to Garden City and visited the Nunley’s Carousel. 
The familiar sound of carousel music brought back memories of happy, carefree childhood days. As I climbed on to one of the beautifully restored horses, worries and concerns slipped away. For $2.00 I was transformed into the “NOW” feelings of joy and happiness.
Just walk next door to The Cradle of Aviation Museum. The Imax theatre 
will take you to distant galaxies or great underwater adventures. There’s a Children’s museum, a Firefighters’ museum and so much more.
Go down to one of the local duck ponds, Stony Brook is my favorite. Listen to the sounds of children giggling, as hungry ducks and geese surround them eager to steal the bags of food from their hands. Take a kite to the schoolyard or go for a walk. The daffodils, crocus, and Robins are waiting to proclaim that the cold, snowy days of winter are over and spring is here. You can waste your day worrying about tomorrow and what MIGHT be, or you can choose to reduce stress and feel better by being in the “Now” and remembering—It’s time to play!
