Saturday night-- and I'm not focused.


Am finding it difficult to choose a persuasive topic for my next speech.

I've read the chapter.

I've picked everybody's brains for their choices of topics.

I still can't commit.

Key items in selecting a topic are: knowing your audience (three of us are 35 or older and female) and the rest are 19 or 20 and male. Quite a difference of demographics there. If there wasn't quite such a large discrepancy; it might be easier to choose.

Choose a subject you are passionate about. Argh....there are so very many topics of which I am passionate.

The institutes of God (the Trinity), marriage and family.

Responsible Parenting.

Christian and well-rounded (or classic type) academic educations. Mandatory latin courses!

Responsible pet-ownership.

Political and civil responsibility including (but not limited to) being informed of current events and the foundations that our rights are founded upon- the Constitution.

American patriotism.

Personal accountability.

Proactive stances in health-care (not a demand for socialized insurance programs) but that the patient is given more credibility and that doctors are less likely to assume symptoms and diagnosis rather than taking a few additional moments to interact with the patient and find out if there are underlying and/or simultaneous ailments occurring.

Exercising the right to vote.

Exerice... on a pole or on the way to the poll!

Allowing other's free speech even when it's disgusting and in poor taste- because FREE SPEECH really IS what it's all about!

Healthy well-balanced outlooks.

Looking for the objective viewpoint.

There is nothing better than a classic romantic comedy for any afternoon.

The house of blues really DOES rock!

Trying new tastes and views- like Italy! or Oregon! ;-)

Total honesty- of course, tempered with kindness if it's a hurtful one.

Cats ARE people, too!

Art is subjective-- enjoy the parts you like and don't knock the rest.

Chocolate... it should be a part of the food pyramid.

Recognizing a good thing before and during the event rather than only afterwards.

The need to set a goal, and keep after it 'til it's complete.

It should be mandatory for all homeowners to plant perennials. Okay- that's a little out there- but, a nice sentiment nonetheless! Reckon I'm getting tired?? Hee hee!

Argh. I'm not getting anything writ! But this BLOG!

What to do? What to do? Maybe tomorrow I'll figure it out. In the meantime- I have an excellent idea for another blog subject! Dirty secrets and the family skeletons... when to say "mum"? when to blab? or blog as the case may be?? Tune in next time.....
