There’s much sadness in the world. From war, to cancer, to economic uncertainty, to layoffs, deaths, and so much more. The sadness we all face daily should be a rallying cry to come together. It’s strange in how most of what we are experiencing is a battle of the heart and soul in everyone, and how it manifests in suffering. Things are tough, and personally, I am hoping that God will be in all the moments of our day. Mercy for all.

There are times when I feel that I can’t say or do anything right. It’s like I am just a bother to those around me. I hope I am a good person, but there are many occasions when I feel like I am not. Hurting people is something I never want to do. Do you ever feel like this? A change is probably needed. Being human is very hard and mistakes will be made. Should I give myself a break?

Today at work we had a luncheon that was also a team meeting. We had some good discussions and each of us was recognized for our unique contribution to our department. This is my certificate for being the King of Advice because I’ve been around for 11 years and have some knowledge gained from experience. This was a great gesture from my bosses.
