In the real world, as lived and experienced by real people, the demand for human rights and dignity, the longing for liberty and justice and opportunity, the hatred of oppression and corruption and cruelty is reality…John McCain

Vitamin B12 Friday
Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been getting vitamin B12 shots. The syringe with the red fluid reminds me of something you would see in a science fiction movie that would give someone super powers. Kinda cool if you ask me. It has helped me a little with energy but I’m still going to need more to keep me going.
Daily Prompt – Word Of The Day: Renegade
Something a little different here….
He was a good kid. Raised by a good family. Went to the neighborhood church. He went to school every day. He did what was expected for the most part. However he saw things in the world differently. He began to think for himself. He became a social justice warrior and a social justice worrier too. He became a black sheep, a weirdo, a renegade of sorts. The thing about it is that his life led him to be who he is today; a believer, a blogger, a person with his heart on his sleeve.
Here is another look at what a renegade is… Renegade by the classic rock group Styx.
It’s Thursday Everyone!
The sun is shining and it’s a Thursday. Have a great day everyone.
Patience…Live…Faith
These three words are displayed at my chiropractor’s office and it got me to think about their meanings.
Patience…Good things come to those who wait. What we want isn’t always in our timing or control. Being a patient person isn’t easy but its necessary.
Live…We have to live every moment we can. Living is a risk, it’s dangerous and its worth it to keep on going no matter what adversity we face.
Faith…This is the hardest one because it calls on us believe in something. I think having faith in God, your neighbor, the universe what have you means having to hold close to something you can’t always see.
So my friends have Patience to live in faith.
A Short Review of Disney’s Christopher Robin
Winnie The Pooh is an iconic Disney character whose story has been told for generations. This movie puts the focus on the life of Christopher Robin. His life changed because of going off to school, World War II and having a job…you know grown-up stuff that isn’t a great deal of fun at any age.
There are lots of tenderness, action, adventure and social commentary thrown in for good measure which resonates across time. Winnie says in the movie “Doing nothing often leads to the very best kind of something” and that is a key part of where the movie goes into the story it wants to tell.
Ewan McGregor, Hayley Atwell and a who’s who of British and American talent are wonderful in this movie. It’s one that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Go see this and may it inspire you to find your own way to doing nothing and having the adventure of your lives.
