Blog Hosed
For whatever reason MT4 is just not working. I'm a little busy with work, etc to fix it, but I'll get it working again someday.

Planned Parenthood Rocks
Back when I was researching one ballot initiative or another I learned that that Planned Parenthood only spends something like 6% of it's budget on abortions. The majority of Planned Parenthood spending goes towards general womens' health. I wish they did a better job of getting this fact to the public.
Anyway, I got pointed to a great blog post via feministing today that I thought I'd share.
Planned Parenthood does indeed rock. That, and without it, there would be more abortions, and probably not safe ones.

What's right?
I found this quote at the bottom of a craigslist posting. I didn't want to loose it, so I'm posting it here
“The more you recognize and express gratitude for the things you have, the more things you will have to express gratitude for.”
-Zig Ziglar
I remember once when a girlfriend and I had been getting on each other’s nerves, we decided to present each other with a list of all the things that were bothering us about each other. We had intended to present our lists to each other in hopes of working out our differences. When I sat down to write the list, I was suddenly struck with the fact that I had been consumed with everything “wrong” about her.
I took some time to reflect, and decided instead to write down everything “right” about her. My list of everything I appreciate and admire about her began to grow and slowly the negative began to shrink and dissipate. I began finding myself saying things like, “how many people would really do that for me?” And, “I’ve always wanted someone that has this characteristic, but almost nobody does.” Suddenly, this person that I had been so “fed up” with began to grow in my eyes, and my love and appreciation for her began to skyrocket.
From then on, whenever I began to complain to myself about her, I just pulled out the list and reminded my petty self of everything “right” with her. How long has it been since you have meditated on and expressed gratitude for everything you love in and about your spouse or partner or children? How much would you miss those things if these people were taken from you? Whatever you focus on and emotionalize, you tend to manifest in your life. Be very careful.
