When you connect with me you get an authentic person who is kind, considerate (most times) and caring. I will always try to lift a person up. I am overly eager and a people pleaser. There will be no saying I am sorry for being nerdy, geeky and dorky. I am like a Labrador in that I am overly friendly. I will call you a friend even if we have met only a couple of times. The stuff I am passionate about like my heart is worn on my sleeves. When you get me you get someone who is flawed, faithful and awkward at times. Sometimes I am sad but always hopeful and positive. All I know how to be is myself and I hope that is enough for anyone who wants to be in my life. I will stand for the little guy and living in a just world for everyone. I am a believer in my higher power (God and that sort of thing) and its that faith that informs me to be who I am. I promote inclusion for others and hope the same for myself.
In short, what you see and read is what you get with me.
There are good people out there, some have had a journey back to goodness but still. People are worthy of second chances because that is divine. Forgiveness is a good thing.
I realize I am not the greatest driver in the world but I try to go the speed limit or below during the weather we in Chattanooga have had recently, which has been rainy. When you see people going around you at a much faster speed than you it makes you wonder what has these people in such a hurry. Its just dangerous to see these cars wizzing by. I get that these people might be late or some other reason for doing what they do but its just plain scary.
I’m rarely a cynical person, I try to be positive in many things. However the climate we live in is making us all suspicious and stopping to ask hard questions. We see bad things happening all the time and we have become jaded and see the world for what it’s becoming instead of what it can be. My hope for the future is a return to idealism and dreams without the doubts and negative space.
The Christmas spirit is about helping others, giving your time and loving your neighbors as yourself. All of this comes from a youngster from Bethlehem who came to give His life to humanity.
I am not an expert on taxes but if a tax plan doesn’t pay for itself or at least comes out balanced then perhaps it shouldn’t be forced upon the people who will have to pay for it. Here’s a hint, its not the billionaires or the super millionaires, it will be people who are of middle class and limited means. I am not certain anyone in Washington knows what they are doing.
I did call my senators to express my opinion and I hope it helps to persuade them but I am not holding my breath since they are a part of the problem.
