People do things to the best of their abilities and sometimes it isn’t good enough. No one likes to be criticized but it’s a part of life. I think we are all sensitive to being told the not so good things about you. We all have to do what we can to have a thick skin but it isn’t always possible. Do the the things you can to keep the critics at bay.

The Flu Bug, Impacting Life and Learning #flu
The flu bug has gotten bad where I live. So bad that schools have used some of their built-in snow days and cancelled classes so the children and staff can get better. Everyone loves a day off but this is not the way many wanted it to come about. Several people I work with were scrambling to find child care options for tomorrow as our local school system has also called off school for Friday. I got a flu shot in November. I can’t remember the last time I had it. Those who got the bug are sitting at home trying to get well.
Here’s a graphic that shows the difference between the common cold and the flu. Stay healthy my friends.

Keeping Up With Community
I am discovering I can’t keep up with every post from my blogging community, it’s really hard to do so. Conversely I don’t expect you to keep up with every one of my posts and you know how much I post in a day. This is something I shouldn’t stress about because life has plenty for me to be stressed out about. I am grateful for those who visit when they have time and appreciate their interest. Keep on blogging everyone.
Speak Up And Be Heard Women #shepersisted
I have deep respect for the women in my life and respect their voice to have their say in determining what happens in their lives. It is important for them to have a level playing field in all parts of life. No woman should be silenced when she has something to say that can make life better for everyone or to bring attention to serious issues of the day. I believe that women are worth listening to no matter what they have to say.
