Sheils Writes

A writer observes.

I’ve been quietly in the background observing for this past month.  I’m watching people.  People come and go.  People smiling in their vacation photos to somewhere fantastical, amazing.  A drink.  A meal.  A sunset.  People complaining about Donald Trump or something else.  People in general are complaining about things.  A sad observation, but an observation nonetheless.  As a writer of this observation, I have a few things to write.

I think of Lucy from the Peanuts every morning, 5 cents please?  Maybe that’s $1 now.  Although I get nothing out of your complaining about things.  Just a quick scroll past yet again another unsatisfied customer.

There needs to be a shift in this pattern.  I’m not going to make a difference with writing these few words on my old-lady blog, but it’s my free space on my bingo card and I’d like to use it.  Complaining has a place.  However, working towards a change, a shift, possibly might make sense.  I’m far from politically savvy, but sure, I see a lot of crap going on.  Instead of sharing your next upsetting issue, post something positive, about how you, yes you, can change what you see.  Send out a smile to all of us.  A meal.  A drink.  A sunset.

I don’t know.  Only thing I do know, is something has to start to change.  Nothing changes, if nothing changes.
