Heavy Stuff These Days

This has been a couple of days of heavy news. Two friends of mine have passed away. A friend of mine is experiencing some family challenges. Then you add the news of the world and then everything seems to be hard to deal with. My heart goes out to my friend’s families as they grieve in their own ways. I hope I can be there when called upon for them. Life is hard and we have to be willing to have compassion and empathy for one another. The world is tough and sometimes it means being gentle with our hearts and souls. Love can lead the way to be the balm of life. God be with us all.

Before And After

I decided to mow my face after a few months. My goatee was a souvenir from a family trip to Disney back in September of last year. What do you like, before or after?

The Weekend Is Here!

Thought Of The Day 3/2/2023

Elevators (or lifts in some places) are like people. Sometimes they lift you up and sometimes they let you down. Funny how that works.

Throwback Thursday – Details

You can’t legally donate someone else’s blood. Only your own.

Something About Working

Lots of people out there live paycheck to paycheck. Jobs keep roofs over heads and food on tables. Some are looking for that next opportunity to work and contribute to our world in their own way. If you can, help those who want to get back on their feet but need encouragement when things are tough. There is also no shame in struggling and doing the best you can. May all those in need find what they are looking for in this life that we share together.
