BOTTOM

• The best chips are at the bottom of the bag. I love the overcooked and broken pieces that fall to the bottom where all the extra salt lands. Mmm
•  
• The best ideas come at the bottom of the list of possibilities. The more you ponder your options, the more likely you will make a wise choice.
•  
• The “thing” you are looking for is often in the bottom of a drawer or box.
•  
• Although we think of the bottom as a negative thing, often, it can be a very good thing.
•  
• The “to do list” is a motivator and then as you cross off the last thing, the one on the bottom, you feel so GOOD.
•  
• Looking in the mirror from over your shoulder gives you a distorted view of your bottom. Probably not a flattering view, either.
•  
• Hitting rock bottom can be the best time of your life. It can be the moment you realize you cannot move forward alone. You reach out for help or you demand help or you sink into hopelessness. Few people can return from the rock bottom of life without someone providing assistance of some type. Sometimes it’s just the right words or a hug at the right time. Sometimes it’s a few dollars, a big of groceries, a job offer or a ride to the addiction facility. Whatever the need, the key often comes from someone else. The acceptance must come from the one on the rock bottom.

• Every now and then I see a prompt in this writing group and am instantly inspired. This time, not so much. I was dragging my own bottom trying to take it somewhere and decided to ramble. After all, a wandering mind can’t be expected to be brilliant every time, right? 
• 
  
•  I said, RIGHT?
•  
• Perhaps brilliance will flow from the fingertips next time…for now, peace, love and faith to all from the bottom of my heart.
