My friends, it’s Friday. Let’s finish the week strong. The weekend is almost here! Make it awesome or something like that.

Today was local and state election day here in Tennessee. I did my civic duty and went to my local polling station to vote. We still do paper ballots with electronic tabulation here so I don’t get that thrill of going behind a curtain to a voting machine. Voting is as important for local and state races as it is for the federal and presidential races.
Americans, don’t forget to vote on November 5th. That’s a big one for reasons you know already.

Hello there August. It’s a good month for birthdays and other stuff. Let’s hope for a good month ahead for all of us.
I have come to the conclusion I can’t please everyone. People pleasing has taken its toll on me. I can’t always please myself. I will disappoint some of you and I regret that. In the act of being myself, I am figuring all that out. That is a work in progress. Your understanding is welcomed. Thank you.
Physically I am like a teddy bear. You could say fluffy and pudgy. Intellectually, I hope people would think I know stuff but not in an arrogant way. Spiritually I am a person in tune with my creator and all that. Emotionally I am stable with a little looney thrown in. I tend to be quieter than in years past, but I let my freak flag fly when appropriate. My personality is one of weirdness and I am an oddball. Very much a black sheep. Mentally I am the place where I think I can deal with stuff that comes my way. I am kind, compassionate, and sensitive too. People I think aren’t so sure about me. Strange, right?
Feedback welcome.
