You know you are overworked when you see a lot of overtime on your check. People work more and harder to keep a roof over their heads. It’s not unusual to see people with 2 or more jobs. They are burning the candle at both ends and in the middle. Being overworked can lead to burnout and worse. Life is a constant struggle to make ends meet so being overworked and sometime over stressed in so many parts of life. The notion of working smarter means working harder because you have to. Maybe if more people did their part there wouldn’t be so many overworked people in the world.

Daily Prompt: Invitation
All you have to do is ask. There is an invitation to each of us for communion, companionship and community. Having an open door and an open mind allows new things into ones life. Everyone has an invitation to experience life in a new way if they just say yes. Too many times we say no to things that might change us for the better. There are opportunities in abundance to help others and you don’t need an invite for that, just keep your eyes and heart open and you will find your way. Life is a party and we should all have an invite to it.
Throwback Thursday #TBT – Squeeze – Tempted
This is the song I was referring to in my Daily Prompt post. Its a distinctly 1980’s song with a timeless feel. Unfortunately I couldn’t find the original video which I remember from back in the day.
Daily Prompt: Tempted
Being tempted is a very human thing. Life is a buffet of choices that provides plenty of temptations whether it be another cookie or a really fancy gadget or buying a car you really can’t afford. Everyone is tempted by something or another. There is a song that has a line “tempted by the fruit of another” and that sort of temptation is what gets people in trouble and can wreck lives. Sometimes we lead each other into temptation because we want what the other guy has so that means keeping up with the Joneses and we all know how that turns out. Resisting being tempted is easier said than done.
Daily Prompt: Crossing
Crossing in simple terms means going from one spot to another. Going from one side of a street to another sometimes requires help of a crossing guard who can stop traffic and to keep you safe. It’s a place that where you can transition safely. People every day are crossing from life to the afterlife. In many places its where rail and roads cross over one another. Without crossing we would just be left in the same place.
Daily Prompt: Interior
We live in a world that focuses on the exterior. It’s about how something looks on the ousidee that we ignore what is on the interior. What makes something special is found deeper than the skin, its the heart and soul. Perhaps if we focus more on someones interior their exterior would be even more lovely. No matter how we dress up and make up the outside without the things that people can’t see our appearance isn’t quite so special.
