"If you find yourself on a committee discussing the needs of a particular group of people, but you look around the room and don't see anyone from that group, you should be HIGHLY skeptical of any conclusions reached."

City officials in Mesa, Arizona, have mistakenly installed two bus shelters where no buses run.
The installation cost $19,000 at a time when the city is cutting its public transit budget to save money. The shelters were installed as part of a $4.6m improvement project finished about a year ago.
Although there is a bus service on part of the road, the vehicles turn before reaching the shelters. And even though the shelters have signs posted saying no buses pass by, people still wait.
"It slipped through all of us and didn't get caught until after the fact," said Ethos Kramer, a Mesa city spokesperson.
"It's up to us to choose contentment and thankfulness now - and to stop imagining that we have to have everything perfect before we'll be happy."

1. Slow down; God is still in heaven. You are not responsible for doing it all yourself, right now.
2. Remember a happy, peaceful time in your past. Rest there. Each moment has richness that takes a lifetime to savor.
3. Set your own pace. When someone is pushing you, it's OK to tell them they're pushing.
4. Take nothing for granted: watch water flow, the corn grow, the leaves blow, your neighbor mow.
5. Taste your food. God gives it to delight as well as to nourish.
