Sitting here thinking about myself, my neighbors, and all the wonderful people I have met online got me wondering - how shallow are we? Does this flaw make our lives less magical, as we tend to veer away from the less than perfect, and are we missing out on a chance to know amazing people?

 

Here's a few examples, see what you come up with :

 

There's an amazing, creative artist who's work is wonderous, and childlike in imagination but executed in style like a master. You chat, talk, and think he's awesome...and then you find out this "young creator" who's "so friggin cool" is in his mid-50's. What's your opinion now? Is it changed?

 

There's a pretty girl who seems like she's in her mid-late 20's, and is warm and very fun. She's attractive, but as she speaks, you realize she either is wearing dentures or has no teeth. Is she any less of what she was before, or did your mind form a new interpretation?

 

There's a very cool guy who's always open to things. He offers to help you move, he is there when you need to talk, and he's the all-around guy's guy, sports and all. One night you and a few buddies are watching the game, each flopped in chair with beer happy as can be. You're watching the halftime show, and it's noticed that while the others are cheering for the cheerleader's upskirt moves, your friend is only interested in the men waiting to take back the field. Now, he's not hitting on you, isn't vocal about anything, and has been the perfect friend...does your level of comfort and trust shift, do you worry, will you treat him different, or do you see no change at all - it doesn't matter?

 

Maybe the artist would be your best friend, family, a mental version of a soulmate, drawing or painting what you see and feel in your sleeping dreams. Maybe he's the next Picasso -

 

Maybe the girl had a bone disease and never did drugs and was a contributing citizen, an upstanding girl, and her teeth became so deteriorated that she suffered chronic illness and had to get them removed. Maybe her dentures are noticable, or are just uncomfortable.

 

Maybe the gay friend liked you for your treatment of him, as an equal, and no different from any other guy. Maybe he'd be the EMT who'd save your life one day, or who would be the only non-judgemental person left when you make a major mistake.

 

When you choose, alienate, and discriminate, you not only deprive those you shun from having the chance to be accepted by a warm soul, but you lose the hope of maybe finding unconditional love - whether in the sense of a mentor, friend, lover, family, or just a shoulder or a beer buddy after a long day. How shallow , how loveless are you? Lilli

I live in a region that does not get snow. Occasionally we get the odd bit of snow, just a dusting really, and it seems that the entire world shuts down. The south simply is not equipped to deal with it. Of course there has been some ice storms due to the fact that the entire atmosphere is not consistently cold enough to produce snow but freezing just the same. The ice storms are awful in truth. In a short period of time a lot of damage can be dne in an area not meant to handle it. Trees fall, limbs go trough roofs and pwer and telephone lines get torn down rapidly. Restoring order is a process since the situation is rare enough that trucks which can manuver in such a situation is not where the money goes, so we have very few.

Then it is hot as the dickens in summer. Good lord is it hot!

But there is an upside. To me, a non-native from the north, there is no winter, only an extended fall. I love fall. Adore fall! It's January and the final leaves have fallen, the ones with colors that is, while many oaks still retain a leaf coverage, albeit in shades of brown, but they are just lovely. They take on that beautiful transparent look. New buds are already on some early spring plants. It just blows me away. There has been a soft rain for days. The world is a beautiful place.

"Hey there Nerd Girl....how did you spend your evening?"

"Oh, me?  I organized my sewing thread by color.  What did you do?"
