Every morning my Lion King gets out of bed, goes over to the dresser, picks up the remote, and turns the TV on. He then comes over to my side of the bed, leans over and begins to kiss me awake. He kisses my forehead, my cheeks, and then my lips. I soak in every single second of that awakening. As he is doing that the local news is just beginning. Though I am absorbed with his tender kisses that wakens his Lion Queen, I also hear the news which is the beginning of the day. Unfortunately, it’s never a good beginning.
Although we live in Broken Arrow, OK which is considered one of the lowest crime rate areas in the country, we are unfortunately the suburb to Tulsa, OK which has one of the highest crime rates in the country. Therefore, every morning I waken to “This morning on News on —- we bring you breaking news.” They go on to say there was a shooting, stabbing, beating, murder, rape, etc, usually in Tulsa. Don’t get me wrong, the surrounding areas including BA are at times the focus point of these reports. It’s so depressing, and not what we want to wake up to on a daily basis.
What the world needs now is to wake up to the negative and wake up to the positive things in life. To wake up just ONE morning and hear the words, “Good Morning Oklahoma, we start this day with breaking news, and we mean MAJOR news, we have NO violence to report!” Oh my goodness, how awesome would that be?!! I struggle and shake my head daily at all that goes on in our state, let alone what goes on through out our country. Will there ever become a day when we can all just get along?
Some day people will wake up and realize, this is what the world needs, to act and be positive, let’s make a difference. Unfortunately, by the time they realize that, it will be to late for the world.
If you believe you can make a difference, start now, you might be the one our world needs now!
Hugs, Love, Peace & Roars,
Lion Queen
