The Word I Should Give Up, Sorry

Daily writing prompt
If you had to give up one word that you use regularly, what would it be?

If there was one word I would have to give up it would be “sorry”. I am a horrible people pleaser and when I feel like I have disappointed or failed someone I will use “sorry” as some sort of excuse. I really shouldn’t do that. I try to please people and when it goes south I should give myself some grace and not worry about failing them. At least I tried. So I guess I am sorry for being sorry and should get rid of that word or limit its use.

Boldly Go, It’s Star Trek Day

On September 8, 1966, Star Trek debuted for the first time on television with “The Man Trap,” the pilot episode of Star Trek: The Original Series.

This show has been a beacon of inclusion, logic, science and hope. I am proud to be a fan of this terrific TV show that has been so influential and inspirational for people all around the world.

May this show continue to encourage us to Live Long And Prosper.

Some things are reasons.

Some things are excuses.

There is a fine line between them.
