Change Is All Around

The more you stay in a place the more it changes around you. Whether it be a job, a neighborhood, or somewhere else you see people, places, and things change and there’s really nothing you can do about it. Life moves on, people move on, everything moves on.

I have been in my job for almost eight years and I have seen faces come and go. My roles have changed. Yet I still remain because I have built a career in which I am helping people and saving lives.

The more things change, the more they stay the same is a philosophy I am not sure I agree with. Change is all around you. Don’t get too comfortable.

The work goes on. Life goes on. The thing about it all is you have to adapt and change along with all the stuff. I suppose you hold on to the important things and keep the main thing the main thing.

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day

May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

An Irish Blessing

Happy St. Patrick’s Day my dear friends. Have fun but be safe.

WW III

I don’t want to admit it, but WW III is imminent. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine will force the hand of many nations to act. This was much like WW II when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. Before that, the United Kingdom was getting pummeled by Nazi Germany. There are so many people suffering in Ukraine that something has to be done.

I am hoping for peace but I am being realistic. Hope for the best but prepare for the worst. I don’t think Ukraine can take much more without some help. Sanctions will only do so much and this seems to be more about bringing a country to its knees.

God be with us all, especially Ukrainians everywhere and the Russian people who are protesting what is going on.

Wordless Wednesday

It’s dreary out today.

Wrestling

Professional wrestling is one of my favorite sports. Wrestling is also the oldest sport in the world. It’s a tale of good vs. evil, giant vs. small, divine vs. human. People wrestle with things and decisions that can change their lives. Sometimes when you win a wrestling match you get a championship belt or at least some respect from an opponent. Whether it be professional or amateur wrestling you have to be ready to go the distance whatever that looks like.

Flipping Perspective

I am not a big-time reader but when I do read it’s interesting to flip the story to see what happens in an alternative universe sort of thing. Alternative views of a story can tell all sorts of tales from different characters and perhaps different places. Events can even change too. The truth can be found somewhere when you look hard enough. Or perhaps the truth is a matter of flipping perspective.
