I
sat at my computer, making the most of the extra time
afforded by the snowy weather. In the background
played the televised version of King
the story of Martin Luther King. It was being aired in
honor of Mrs. King's recent passing. I hadn't
watched it in years, and as such I couldn't tell if the
commentary by Coretta and other characters in the movie
was a recent addition or had always been there.
An
impressionable person, I normally avoid most history
movies, because the aftereffects of hate and the sense
of hopelessness with which I'm left, usually lasts
awhile or triggers a bipolar
episode. But
for some reason, today, I decided to let it play as I
busied myself working on promotional items for my book
and the two newsletters I'd created. One had been
dormant for a year and the other had never moved past
creation. I've always have had a problem with timing.
Once I get an idea; I always think I must rush
into action, proper planning or not.

I'm not
comfortable being preachy, but more people need to start
spending as much time in the library as they do on the
basketball court. If they took the idea that they could
escape poverty through education, I think it would make
a more basic and long-lasting change in the way things
happen. What we need are positive, realistic goals and
the willingness to work. Hard work and practical goals.
