When you get knocked down sometimes you need someone to help you get up again. Be a helping hand up, it’s better for everyone. When we all pitch in the work of making things better is a light load.
May compassion, empathy, and sympathy be the rule of the day, every day.
Personality is so personal. It comes down to being yourself whoever that is. Being genuine can be a challenge too. All we can do is hope that people can accept us and there is no problem with impostor syndrome. Here’s to living your life on your own terms.
I’m not used to being older.
My dudes have a swell Friday. Let’s finish this week strong. The weekend is almost here.
I have been a people pleaser most of my life. Now, not so much. Sometimes bridges need to be burned. Don’t worry I am still a genuine person who strives to be kind. Only these days it’s with some boundaries.
Democracy means filling out a ballot.
Today is election day in Tennessee where local and state races are on the ballot. Voting is a right and a duty that I take seriously.
Here in Hamilton County, Tennessee we are electing a new mayor, district attorney and sheriff. Let’s hope for the best that there will be fair minded people who will serve and lead our community.
I think it’s cool to share your opinions online. What is not cool is to be toxic or destructive. There’s too much of that going on these days. A good critique is acceptable. Being personal and tearing down someone who doesn’t deserve it is not.
People who are in the limelight for horrible things need to be held accountable. We all must be mindful to be kind and remember someone works hard on the things they care a lot about, no need in harming them.
