Sometimes you hope memories will bring folks back and give them the inspiration to want to be a part of something special again.
However memories might be keeping them away in the first place.
Something to ponder.

Something About Taxes
Working on taxes tonight and looks like the cost of the software to prepare them will be more than what is owed to the federal government. Turbo Tax is $59 and what is owed will be $5 as it stands right now. I am grateful it wasn’t more than that but still. Paying taxes is not fun but what it goes toward is important into keeping community and country going. No taxes no roads, schools, community services, military, first responders, etc… all those folks need to get paid and we need their services. I am cool if everyone is paying their fair share but you know the one constant in life is death and taxes.
Something About Being Liked
It’s crazy at my age I worry about being liked. Somehow I need to get over that and just be me and bless the world with that. Pleasing people is part of that. Being myself is important and I want to do that and hope people get it.
Something About #Easter and #Sundays
Easter is something to be lived out daily. It means intentional devotion and being active in ones faith community. The whole Sunday’s coming thing is meaningless if one doesn’t practice what they believe the other six days of the week.
For those of other faith traditions being active and engaged in your communities can only make the world a better place.
Something About A Critique
Everyone is critiqued about something in life. From a speech to art to a research paper. Your work is judged sometimes fairly, sometimes it’s picked apart and you have to start from scratch to make it better. It makes you feel good when you are on the right path and all you need is minor adjustments and perhaps adding another point or two. I think after fixing something if time allows let it sit for awhile and come back to see if the improvements are going to work. I have to remember there are people out there who know more about some things than I do and their advice is meant to make me and my work better. It’s hard not to take it personally but don’t take it personally.
Something About Millennials
I am 49 this year and I am from the Generation X era which was raised on pop culture, TV and Music Videos. Millennials I have found are just trying to find their way in the world. I am proud to call a few of them brothers and sisters in blogging and friends in life. Generational differences aside we are all humans and we need to work together to make this world a better place. They are going to change the world. It might not be what Baby Boomers or even Gen-Xers would do but that’s OK. The world is very different with them in it and the things that worked in previous generations won’t work with them.
I see good things for them and it is becoming their world and their time to shine. I hope they will take the wisdom of the ages and use their own sensibilities to create a greater community. Maybe they will take faith and use it for the best. It’s going to be exciting to see what this generation will do. It’s a group that is here and is getting ready to lead.
