Question Of The Day 11162021

Is it ironic to criticize the Internet for being too critical? Just asking.

How Are You Doing? – A Sunday Reflection

My priest was back at church this morning after being away due to his father’s untimely death. When someone is grieving asking them “how are you doing” can be a tough question. From my perspective, it’s good to ask and just listen to them and just be there for those who have experienced loss. You don’t have to do much but care about them, love them and do what you can when they need it.

Also asking how you are doing to those people in your life who just need someone to listen to and to give them an ear and your time. As Barbara Streisand once sang “people who need people are the luckiest people in the world” or something like that.

So, how are you doing?

It’s Saturday So Chill Out

My friends enjoy today. Don’t be in such a hurry to get somewhere. Also, be safe for yourself and others. After an experience I had last night I am reminded that getting from place to place isn’t a race but a journey. Be mindful and be good to all.

You value freedom – grant it to others.
