A Moment of Zen… and Something To Watch



SIT BACK and listen to the best selling jazz song of the 20th century… Then watch the full episode of “Political Animals.” Sigourney Weaver plays Secretary of State Elaine Barrish, with a family of misfits, in a world that’s always on boil, in an age where the media is looking for ratings over anything else.

It’s not an accident if it reminds you of someone else and that the last line in the series premiere makes you dream of what might yet come true for that someone.

Tough day. Take a load off. Hug your cat… your dog… your mate… Drink a glass of whatever takes the edge off. We’ve all earned it.

What happened today was a horrible tragedy and that’s when it’s most important to enjoy the sweetness of life, so you never forget what it feels like. Step away from the television, quit watching the news. Steal a moment of happiness for yourself. It’s good for you.

    After what happened today in Colorado, it was difficult to express what I was feeling about this overwhelming tragedy once again in our country.

    I need some time to digest it all.

    Taylor, your humanity is what draws me to your blog and keeps me coming back.

    This post is is one reason I post here.

    Thank you for this.

      I don’t post at all anymore, but I agree with you newdeal. It’s why I come here too to at least read. After all that happened yesterday I knew when I came to TM this morning there would be words from Taylor that I wouldn’t find anywhere else.

      Thanks for that Taylor Marsh.

    So much better than all the yelling and fighting on “Newsroom”. :-)

      And so much better than the right of center blog that shall remain nameless that I am no longer ever going to visit again, because all it is doing is using this politically to stir up hate against Obama and the left. Some people just don’t when to quit.

    We need need to digest what happened in Colorado, I went out walking this morning and I saw a mother deer (doe) eating grass while watching her two fawns in a yard playing with eachother. It was so sweet, and I could never hunt them or another animal, event though my dad did for years until his health stopped him. I always got upset with him for hunting because me and my mom are against it.
