Some people say that a clear sky is blue ...

...or is it scattered light??

Okay, there are a few clouds ...a few scattered clouds. 

And likewise, in life, just when we think things are totally clear, there are a few remaining clouded issues. 

But, back to the blue sky ...although the white billowy clouds and the feathery ones do add character to the sky, let's look only to the beautiful blue sky.  Isn't it often easier to just pretend things are clear?

It depends on whether you take the scientific approach. (And scientifically, the clouds described are called cumulus and cirrus ...though I did say we were focusing only on the sky.)

But, what color the sky is ...is not a matter of personal taste. You may prefer a different color sky, but it is what it is.

Okay, my neck was getting sore ...so I stretched out on the grass, looking up.  But, now the ants have found me.  Forget the sky ...I've just picked up the scent of freshly baked pie.  A couple firm brushes with my hand, and I'm rid of the ants.

Now, if your opinion is what matters most to you, then perhaps the conversation should be what your favorite flavor of pie is.

I agree with what some people say, that the best pie is apple ...but my kids would probably vote for chocolate.  There could be a vote, with tallying ...sort of making it a bit scientific, but I still say it is merely called preference.

Now, I'm not willing to forfeit my membership and coveted standing within the high ranks of chocolate consumers. I don't own any stock in chocolate ...its dividends merely make me a bit stocky.

It's just that I have a preference, and favor dark chocolate ... all by itself, preferably 60% cocoa.  And as much as 80%.  And I will likely eat 100% of what I don't have to share.

But, one last note on pies ...before you lose your appetite for this conversation.  My father-in-law says he has two favorites, when it comes to pies ...hot and cold.

Getting back to the sky (though let's not make the sky the limit) ...
    
The sky is the sky ...and we don't have to fear it like Chicken Little did.

And we can all decide each day what pie we like best ...and that can change from day-to-day. (You knew that wasn't my last note on pie.) But, as for today ...I'm having that pie that I know is there.  It smells like blueberry, but whatever it is ...I'm digging in!!  I don't care if the sky is falling, I know my weight isn't going to.

Call me what you may, but don't call me while I'm having pie ...I won't answer.

Okay, now I'm content ...and I am ready to answer.

Yes, there are some things we should think through a bit more thoroughly ...perhaps best on a full stomach.

What are those things??
