Flamingos

All Pink -Flamingos as I learned today, while watching a Burt Wolf travel show, all have the same appearance; they all are pink and look the same. How are males distinguished from females. Unlike many birds, male ducks are brightly colored, and the females with a hint of color at their wing. Flamingos are monogamists and mate for life, for approximately 30 years. It is more important that they know than anyone else who their mate is.

Perhaps there is something to learn from a bird. People might consider learning who someone is from within rather than the focus be on appearance. Similar to school, club and military uniforms, except that humans are each individual and distinctive prior to stepping into a uniform or a costume, so each person in uniform continues to be distinctive.

Currently with the Presidential race approaching - Chris Christie is all the buzz not for his accomplishments - for his appearance. He currently is a very accomplished person. He has a family, he is the Governor of New Jersey and is an attorney. Laughter on talk shows (David Letterman apologized) is healthy and important - not at the expense of others. Adult bullying offers examples for other adults and children to do the same.

Since beginning this post Mr. Christie has decided not to run for President at this time. It is my hope that he stays in line with who he is, remains true to himself and remains or achieves even better health.

Have many thoughts on relationships and so very grateful that prior thoughts have been helpful. That is what this blog's purpose is.

Roy, thank you for being that light for your friends and others. A marvelous example of being open, available and non judgmental - offering a different point of view. And, no more overtime for me right now and just in time. I am working on a project and will share as it develops.
