Breaking News: I Am Not Perfect
If I ever say something boneheaded know that I am very human. LIke everyone I am certainly not perfect and I want you to call me on it. Know that I am truly sorry if I ever offend any of you. Life is too short to hurt feelings and be misunderstood and to lose friends.
May I Take Your Order
Before church this morning we went to a fast food restaurant for breakfast. We placed our orders and the worker proceeded to get our order wrong. I never want to be a jerk about such things because they don’t get paid a lot and they were working on Sunday but when you know you spoke clearly and the order is wrong then you get frustrated. We even tried to clear it up with the front line person and she didn’t understand we ordered one thing, not another. Making a big noisy fuss is not our style but we wanted our order corrected and it wasn’t handled very well.
Customer service is a huge thing and we even filled out a comment card and registered our displeasure with the company. Much of what we experienced is a training issue I think. The one thing I can say is that we were on our way to church and didn’t want to represent our faith in a negative way. So many people of faith can be harsh and we didn’t want to be like that.
So when they say may I take your order you best be clear about it and to be clear as possible.

My Grandmother, Gone Almost A Year
In a few days it will have been one year since my grandmother passed way. She had Alzheimer’s so the farewell had been a long one. Anytime you lose a parent or grandparent it’s hard because you are so used to seeing them there and now they are gone. The world doesn’t look or feel the same because you can’t hear their voice or feel their touch. I do miss her every day but it does get better. Life does go on.
Back to Blogging
If one hasn’t blogged in awhile and it happens to all of us then there is pressure to post something lengthy to make up for it.
My recommendation is a couple of short paragraphs just to get things going again. Perhaps it can “set the table” if you will for other posts. It can get people used to seeing you again. The risk of not posting regularly is losing followers who prune their reading lists frequently.
Posting can be as simple as sharing a picture or maybe a quote. Don’t feel like you have to churn out 1000 or more words at a time when maybe 100 will do the trick of getting you back in the game.
Keep on blogging good people whenever you can.
