COUNTDOWN CONTINUES

11:59 p.m TONIGHT, THE President will be required to initiate the budget process known as sequestration. As Obama is forced by law to trigger $85 billion in automatic budget cuts, now a bipartisan delegation marches to The White House on this first day of March to negotiate. But all are expected to restate long-held positions, making this of a photo op. In fact, now that sequestration has arrived, the budget gridlock gripping Washington may be about to get worse.

Congressional leaders will begin wishing and praying to keep hope alive, now that time has run out those automatic spending cuts. They are apparently counting on a higher power to help them, so all these so called sequester cuts they previously agreed on can now be avoided.

The US Senate chaplain opens the day with a prayer: "Rise up, O God, and save us from ourselves." Good luck and they will now wake up and finally realize this is one fine mess they've made for US.

When you acknowledge the goodness in your life, you begin to recognize that the source of that goodness lies at least partially outside yourself. In this way, gratitude helps you connect to something larger than your individual experience — whether to other people, nature, or a higher power.

The president and congressional leaders meet today, the day sequester kicks US in the pants. They'll discuss ways to prevent the across-the-board cuts. What took them so long?

The lack of communication between the White House and congressional Republicans signals that any solution to avoid these cuts are not a good bet.
