Our pay and jobs aren’t what we want them to be. There are many who are going to bed hungry and don’t have roof’s over their heads but still find the fortitude to go on. Yes the struggle is real but as Jerry Butler and later Elvis Presley once sang “only the strong survive” but I would add the persistent persist.

Cranky is what you call someone who is irritable and sometimes unpleasant. It can also mean eccentric, strange and unorthodox. One can be both irritable, eccentric and strange all in one package. Genius comes from that place where if people are allowed to be genuine then they can do amazing things. Perhaps the cranky old guy down the street has done some amazing work because he was allowed to be authentic and living his truth. Cranky people have a heart but they only let it seen in their creative madness.

I Graduated Twenty-five Years Ago.
Twenty-five years ago I earned my Associates of Arts degree from Hiwassee College in Madisonville, Tennessee. This diploma was hard-earned and I couldn’t have done it without support from my family and the college staff.
In honor of those who are graduating from college and high school in the coming days, I salute you for your hard work. Way to go class of 2017 from the class of 1992.
