The story of a rainy day and a single joyful soul

 

We were touched by Kendall Hawthorne's account of her visit to our store and an important reminder that our own Sammy passed on to her while she was here.  Read her original article "A Simple Reminder That Everyone Needs to Hear:  The story of a rainy day and a single joyful soul" published on The Odyssey Online here.

"[Sammy's] bliss was contagious and I couldn't help but be filled with glee as his eyes searched around the store looking to connect with someone who was equally as thankful for the downpour."

"... a simple way to stay centered is to count your blessings everyday. Another day you wake up breathing and able to get out of bed is another day to thank the God who fearfully and wonderfully created you. Maybe if we learn to be thankful for the thousands of things that go right in our lives rather than dwelling on the few that go wrong, we too will know the happiness and contentment that Sammy has found."   

Let's all take a moment to be thankful for the sun and the rain and everything in between that we get to experience in this beautiful life.  Thanks for coming to visit, Kendall!

China helps clear sovereignty is No

The truly Communist Party and its leader, web design manager Xi Jinping, Emerged that contain post coronavirus political meetings this week with a clear message: Beijing’s main point here is sovereignty, whatever it takes.

China’s rubber stamp parliament Thursday approved a determination to impose a national security law on Hong Kong, Bypassing the territory’s legislature in a move that sets the stage for both violence in Hong Kong’s streets and further conflict with united states. Not only would such procedures incite mass unrest by Hong Kong protesters resisting the encroachment on their rights; it is going to also violate "One country, Two strategies, Beijing’s agreement sustain the former British colony’s “High sum autonomy” till the time 2047, Foreign representatives said. assistant of State Michael R. Pompeo’s go to that the State Department no longer considered Hong Kong autonomous opening the door for further action from Congress, Including potential sanctions and cancellation of Hong Kong’s dating Latina women special financial, immigration law and trade status.

The idea was radical when pro democracy protesters first used it last year to call for escalation in face offs with the police. If Hong Kong had no hope of preserving autonomy peacefully, that reasoned, Then Hong Kongers should drag China down together in flames together. Stoke the flames of a conflict that looks set to explode in Hong Kong.

It’s a lose lose situation for every individual, these Willy Lam, Professor at the Center for China Studies at the Chinese collage of Hong Kong.

plantar too the new national security law, ghanaians of Hong Kong would lose their freedom of expression, And and also the, Religious groups and civil society in Hong Kong would all be threatened by, critics say. They scoff at the assertion of the city’s Beijing backed leader, carrie Lam, That freedoms is not undermined.

for its part, The Chinese government could be hit by sanctions and zhanging your Hong Kong’s status as a separate customs territory. That would hurt China’s economy as well as local and foreign businesses in Hong Kong and reverberate across the world, Parts of which had been in a recession.

“Xi Jinping believes that he simply needs to impose total control over Hong Kong, likewise he’s doing with Xinjiang and Tibet, Lam believed. "there might be some sacrifices to be made. but also for him, He’s ready to pay the price,

several weeks ago, Analysts wondered if the coronavirus is to be Xi’s "Chernobyl some time, As angry Chinese citizens cried for freedom of speech and your willingness, Infuriated by the government’s lack of transparency and thousands of COVID 19 deaths in Wuhan.

Yet Xi has emerged from that crisis even a lot more than before. Domestic complaints have been contained through with the multitude of propaganda, Force and the convenient example of worse failings to retain the virus in others countries.

Having productively stabilized the domestic population, Xi has worked his sights to Hong Kong, Where months of anti China street protests yr after roused Beijing’s ire. The Communist Party has made clear that it will spare no measures in bringing protesters in hand.

State media have used rhetoric that hints at the policies Beijing imposed on Xinjiang and Tibet actions camps, pushed labor and reeducation and called Hong Kong’s protesters "Terrorists, Demanding educational reform and couching the desire to suppress them in “National airport security” wording and terminology. To give up its wishful thinking of changing China or stopping 1.4 billion peoples historic march toward modernization, Wang cited. Most were budding, Some in school uniforms and coming home from their first day back to class.

Benny Tai, A prominent legal scholar who was jailed last year for beginning a nonviolent civil disobedience campaign in 2014 and later released on bail, Wrote an op ed in local media in April predicting that laam chau could take two years or more. It happens, he was quoted saying, together with disqualification of Hong Kong’s legislators, Election interference from Beijing, Vetoing of this and, at long last, A national assets law that led to street fights, Bloody reductions and Western sanctions on the Communist Party.

Now it would appear that Beijing has skipped straight to the endgame, He wrote on Facebook immediately.

“maybe there CCP Communist Party] Thought the post pandemic world was pushing it into a final fight; Perhaps they thought that slow pain might be exchanged for quick pain, Or perhaps they believe China can withstand the great pain that will come, Tai authored.

“anything, The CCP has already pushed itself, Hong Kong and China to the edge of a cliff, he explained. "It’s truly the CCP that is accelerating laam chau.
