Happy 4th of July -- RED, WHITE & BLUE

Red, White and Blue colors will be everywhere this weekend. The colors of the U.S. Flag, which can fly proudly itself -- yet what do you see, feel and understand when you look at it. By itself, it is fabric and a pattern. It is a symbol. That is what I'm thinking today. What do you see when you look at something, and can it be different than what you see? Typically that is what happens to inventions. Someone sees something different.

Recently, the big desk chair I was sitting in became awkward and too uncomfortable. Designed for a larger person, likely a man, it needed to be replaced. At my day job I saw a co-worker sitting on an exercise ball. She said it helped her back and offered good posture. What an idea. I rushed home inflated my blue exercise ball - and that is what I'm now sitting on rather than a large, black chair that took up space, was not inspiring, and collected dust.

I now sit and bounce do crunches and roll around in a different way. A friend, who recently hired a personal trainer, confirmed that it is also his suggestion. To get out of complacency and empower yourself by sitting on an exercise ball at your computer.

Happy July 4th Weekend!!!!!! I'm kayaking, picnicking, and watching fireworks from a rooftop this year. What are you doing?

A-Tidbit, continues to take a peak at things from a different angle and share what it sees. So glad so many comment and share what they see and experience. Each one helps another --

Hi Susan--William of ID---the flag stands for freedom, harmony, and peace. When I drive by one it's our reminder of all the good that our military does to save and protect America.

Also hoping one day our troupes can come home and finally be with there families as we miss them very much. I have a son in the Army for 5 years now and miss our family misses him very much.
