Lefty Woes At Work

When you are left-handed and you share a desk and computer it can be a little frustrating when you come in the morning and the mouse is on the right side. I’m just being a little whiney but being one of a few lefty’s it can be us against the world sort of thing. Thanks for listening to my first world problem.

My blog with the Toujours theme deployed for the season ahead. 

I have redeployed the Toujours theme on my blog to lighten things up for the season. Summer is coming and things are supposed to be brighter so I wanted to reflect that. Everything is bigger on this theme so reading and viewing pictures will be easier too.

Now is a good time to spruce things up and to post about what you are up to these days. Reconnecting during warmer months is always fun. Enjoy and keep on blogging my friends.

I have been catching up on some posts during my day off. This is why you have a spike in activity from me. If I didn’t get to your blog, I will continue to make my way there.

Daily Prompt: Hospitality

I am reminded of so many stories in life where amazing things are done when people are welcomed. Hospitality means a lot and it can change the world. Making people feel at home and comforted can go a long way in building relationships and promoting peace. In scripture Jesus welcomed many and was welcomed into homes to share a meal and his ideas. In so many religions hospitality is an important part of what they are about. Today hospitality is an industry with hotels, motels and people renting out a room so someone has a roof over their head for a night or more. It’s good to be hospitable but it goes both ways. Never wear out your welcome and do your part to make others feel affirmed and secure. Always make room at the inn and at the table.
