I Am Still Proud To Be A Blogger
I have been blogging a lot of years, and I am still proud to be a blogger. I hope you all are too! My posts are about me and what I am in to, among other things. Thanks for following along good people, I strive to return the favor. Keep on blogging, everyone!
Something About Burnout
I found this nugget of wisdom on Facebook. I agree with it very much. Burnout is definitely related to being valued on the job and in other things you do. The way to keep people engaged and active, especially if they are a hardworking individual, is to offer some praise and appreciation. The same principles work for being on the job. As a people-pleaser, I have experienced this first hand. An attaboy or attagirl can be a good thing to do.
Something About Nostalgia
This weekend has been one of nostalgia and remembering the cool stuff from my youth. I was born in 1969, my childhood was in the 1970s and I came of age in the 1980s. As a teenager (1982-1988) MTV was an influence on me as well as other media and culture of the era. Watching music videos this weekend has been great. Enjoying junk food of the era was fun.
It’s always interesting to look at older things with older eyes and current sensibilities. Looking back to what was helps us all appreciate where we have been and hopefully where we are going next. This blog is a good thing about the present.
I can say that there is a comfort in remembering the past to deal with a difficult today. Everyone should do that. Granted, not everyone has warm fuzzies about the past. Whatever one can do to help cope with what we are going through now is something I suggest. Nostalgia has its place, but like a mountaintop we cannot live in that space for very long, unfortunately.
Quote Of The Day
Straddle the line in discord and rhyme
“Hungry Like The Wolf” Duran Duran
I’m on the hunt, I’m after you
Mouth is alive, with juices like wine
And I’m hungry like the wolf.
