I am an old guy when it comes to snacks. I love Fig Newtons and Diet Dr. Pepper (my dad’s favorite drink). I have been a little blue today and I needed something to give me a boost. This hopefully will help.
I don’t believe I have been cool a day in my life. I am OK with that.
International Women’s Day is a global holiday celebrated annually on March 8 as a focal point in the women’s rights movement, bringing attention to issues such as gender equality, reproductive rights, and violence and abuse against women.
I support what this day is about. Women having security, opportunity, equity and equality. Thanks to the women in my life for their influence and care. Here’s to the women of the world.
It’s Wednesday and it’s hump day. Make today a good one, good people. Peace to you all.
Some things are worth getting mad about. Racism, homophobia, poverty, environmental destruction, etc. Some things are just made up by people so they can joust windmills because they need a scapegoat to place their fears. Fake rage as they call it can be harmful to real people. I worry about people who are put in harm’s way because of bad bills being put into law that come from a very bad place. So many more things are worth getting upset about like child abuse by people in authority. Life is hard enough without some people making it even more difficult. I hope people can learn to chill and put their anger in a better place.
This has been a couple of days of heavy news. Two friends of mine have passed away. A friend of mine is experiencing some family challenges. Then you add the news of the world and then everything seems to be hard to deal with. My heart goes out to my friend’s families as they grieve in their own ways. I hope I can be there when called upon for them. Life is hard and we have to be willing to have compassion and empathy for one another. The world is tough and sometimes it means being gentle with our hearts and souls. Love can lead the way to be the balm of life. God be with us all.
