Some Tuesday Motivation To Get You Going

My friends I hope you find the motivation you need to get through this Tuesday. I like this meme because its true. Every day is different and motivation can be found within or externally. Hang in there and have the best day possible.

Thought Of The Day Take 2

We should strive to be better, not perfect. Perfection is impossible so don’t take that road. It’s bumpy and will only frustrate you.

Thought Of The Day

Somehow milk is comforting and delicious in the heat of this Covid Summer.

My Monday Face Is On

It’s That Time Of Year Again, Back To School Supply Shopping

Walmart has their school supplies out for sale now. Whether it be grade or high school or maybe college now is the time to pick up those supplies. It will be a weird year I feel for students around the world. Let’s see if the return to the classroom really happens.

Sunday Reflection: Life In Imperfection #sundaythoughts

Patience is a virtue. When it comes to having relationships with fellow human beings it might as well be divine. Loving ones neighbor can be a significant challenge. To be fair I am not always pleasant to be with and I have my own stuff that makes people crazy. Everyone has something.

Every rose has a thorn (I heard that in a song once) and sometimes we are the rose and sometimes we are the thorn. That is a necessary truth as we don’t become full of ourselves or anything like that.

We are all in need of that thing that means that no matter what we are we are still valued, loved no matter the baggage we carry. No one is perfect. Everyone has a fault but we are also special in that imperfection. So if you are dealing with stuff know that you don’t have to go it alone. In this day we need all the support we can muster.

Friends, I hope you are doing our best. May grace be abundant. Have peace this and in the days ahead.
