We are all struggling with something. No need in adding to someone’s burdens. Everyone needs a break and a little encouragement to get through it all.

Events In The Year I Was Born

Daily writing prompt
Share what you know about the year you were born.

I was born in 1969, and here are a few important things that happened that year.

The first lunar landing happened in July. Woodstock rocked the souls of those who were there for music and peace. Surprisingly the Internet was invented that year. The Stonewall riots for gay rights took place. President Richard Nixon announced the withdrawal of troops from Vietnam. Also, a loaf of bread cost 21 cents.

Lucky To Donate Blood

Today might be Friday the 13th but I’m lucky to donate blood to help others. Saving lives during the holiday season. Giving blood is giving life at Blood Assurance.

It’s Friday The 13th

It’s Friday The 13th and not that I’m very superstitious but I’m aware of the day. Best of luck to us all today. Peace and comfort good people.

All Elite Wrestling Cards

I came into some All Elite Wrestling trading cards today courtesy of my pro wrestling friend Ian Calderwood. Thank you so much Ian, I will enjoy them. It’s amazing how AEW has changed over the years.

Fr. Drew Donates On A Monday

My priest, Fr. Drew Bunting of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church came in to donate blood today at the downtown location of Blood Assurance. I appreciate him helping today. He is doing the Lord’s work of healing others with his donation. Thank you Drew!
