If I only had a brain, a heart, a home, the nerve!

“Dorothy: How can you talk, if you haven't got a brain?
The Scarecrow: I don't know. But, some people without brains do an awful lot of talking, don't they?
Dorothy: Yes. I guess, you're right.”

Dorothy Gale,
The Wizard of Oz

“If you only have brains on your head you would be as good a man as any of them, and a better man than some of them. Brains are the only things worth having in this world, no matter whether one is a crow or a man.”

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

L. Frank Baum ,
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

“[to the Lion] As for you, my fine friend, you're a victim of disorganized thinking. You are under the unfortunate delusion that simply because you run away from danger, you have no courage. You're confusing courage with wisdom.”

Does anyone ever listen?

“ The victim who is able to articulate the situation of the victim
has ceased to be a victim:
he or she has become a threat.”

Common Sense

It is not common sense to assert that those who have achieved success have done so because they are lucky or that they have never failed. In fact, just the opposite is true in that failure has been and still is one of the best teachers in life.
Catherine Pulsifer

Once again this past week has been an eye opener.
As the Pandemic continues to surge, many are confusing
taking precautions with living in fear.
You are not living in fear when you are using
common sense.
I agree with love and am listening to Science!

I am knowing I will get through this 17th week of isolation

Everybody gets so much information all day long that they lose their common sense.
