Wrestling

Professional wrestling is one of my favorite sports. Wrestling is also the oldest sport in the world. It’s a tale of good vs. evil, giant vs. small, divine vs. human. People wrestle with things and decisions that can change their lives. Sometimes when you win a wrestling match you get a championship belt or at least some respect from an opponent. Whether it be professional or amateur wrestling you have to be ready to go the distance whatever that looks like.

Flipping Perspective

I am not a big-time reader but when I do read it’s interesting to flip the story to see what happens in an alternative universe sort of thing. Alternative views of a story can tell all sorts of tales from different characters and perhaps different places. Events can even change too. The truth can be found somewhere when you look hard enough. Or perhaps the truth is a matter of flipping perspective.

Quote Of The Day

Hard Work Pays off, dreams come true, bad times don’t last but bad guys do.

Scott Hall (AKA Razor Ramon) – Professional Wrestler.

Monday Motivation

This is still true. Trying and failing means you are growing and hopefully learning. It’s OK to fail.

Sunday Reflection: A Few Thoughts

The thing about reflections is that they can show multiple things simultaneously. With that being said here are a few thoughts.

People are made up of a body and a soul linked together. It takes both to create a human being. Everyone is created in the image of their creator/higher power. It is important to understand that the body and soul are linked.

People need love and understanding. Without those important things people can feel like they don’t matter. Just think about how the world can change when we give a damn about our family, friends, neighbors and people we haven’t met yet.

Someone once said what the world needs now is love. In all it’s wonderful forms.

Spring Forward On Sunday 3/13/2022

Daylight saving time 2022 officially begins Sunday, March 13 at 2 a.m., meaning we move the clock ahead one hour. This also means we “lose” one hour of sleep and it messes up our biological clocks for a few days. Don’t forget to move your clocks ahead before turning in for bed tonight.
