One of the wonderful things about this world, and all the people in it… is that everyone has a unique perspective.

Each and every one of us. While some of our opinions may line up politically, socially, economically, or spiritually… each one of us has our very own, one-of-a-kind, exclusive and remarkable opinion. It is true.  And although our differing methods of thinking, may not feel so grand all the time,  it makes our existence interesting.  Engaging.

For instance…. A particular song or musical artist may appeal to one person. But to another, it it like nails on a chalkboard… Justin Beeber-Head. Rrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeee…….. right down the old chalkboard.

Yep. That’s one example.

Or one woman’s Hot Fudge Double Brownie Sundae, is another woman’s Bowl of Southern Grits….

Chess vs. Checkers

Coke vs. Pepsi

Bengals vs. Browns

You get the notion, yes?

I’m crazy about things like Sock Monkeys, Dr. Seuss, Dogs, Despicable Me, and Steamed Dumplings with Hot Mustard Sauce…. to name just a few.

Others are gaga for the Opera, Lime Jello, The Tree of Life (the recent Brad Pitt Movie), and TV’s Funniest Home Videos.

To each his own.

So what sparked all of this? I was just reading, that on this date in the year 1860…..Eleven-year-old Grace Bedell of Westfield, N.Y., wrote a letter to presidential candidate Abraham Lincoln, suggesting he could improve his appearance by growing a beard.

He must have thought it was a pretty good idea. Old Abe used to say… “If I were two-faced, would I be wearing this one?”  Little Grace from NY thought either way…. it would look better with a beard.

Just remember, as you navigate your day today…  Wear one face… and one face only.    And…..one man’s gallant steed is another man’s dumb old horse.  You can lead a horse of a different color to water but you can’t make him drink if you put the cart before him… but if you happen to look him in the mouth, you’d better close the barn door after him.

So what I am really saying is…..I still don’t get the Justin Beeber thing.
