It finally stopped raining here in the Chattanooga area. We have had 3 straight days of it and we haven’t seen the Sun since Friday I think. Rumor has it that it will make an appearance today. I know rain is a necessary thing but when it keeps coming it can be hard to get around. The rain can give you the blues especially if you make your living outdoors. Needless to say I am ready to dry out a bit. Excuse the language of my graphic but the sentiment is real.
When you talk about great writers you have to put Snoopy into the mix. His stories of action and adventure are well chronicled on the comic strip as well as TV specials. His stories of tangling with The Red Baron in World War I are that of legend. It’s cool when you see him up on his dog house with his blue manual typewriter clicking away at some important work. I feel he would make an awesome blogger too. Snoopy has a lot to write about and perhaps we can take a page from his book.
It’s my view that everyone should know a little about a wide variety of things to carry on a conversation with people you come across in life. People learn froma wide variety of sources including books and other media. Even if you don’t have an existing knowledge base then strike up a conversation to find out more about something you didn’t know before. Being relatable means being informed and aware of the things that make life great. So learn about life as you go along.
We are in a season of giving and receiving and it is better to give than receive. Giving Tuesday is a global day dedicated to giving back. On Tuesday, December 1, 2015, charities, families, businesses, community centers, and students around the world will come together for one common purpose: to celebrate generosity and to give.
Whether it be through a monetary donation or acts of service today is a day for all of us to give back a little of what we have been blessed with. For more info visit http://www.givingtuesday.org/ to see how you can give.
So we are at the last month of the year. In a matter of days there will be holiday celebrations and the dawning of a new year…2016. Let’s finish 2015 strong and we have just a month to complete our 2015 new years resolutions. Have a great December everyone.
