The school busses were out and running this morning, a sign of students returning to the classroom. On Facebook, I have seen many of my friend’s children in their first-day-of-class pictures. Back in my day the kids used to go back after Labor Day (in America). Now they go back in early August. I am hoping those kids will have a great year in the classroom and beyond. May they also be safe and secure. Let’s hope the lessons they learn this year will make the world a better place for themselves and for everyone. Do a good job kids.
I think there are actually two things you should carry with you at all times. Your wallet and your phone. In today’s world, you really need both of them. Phones are essential for connection, commerce, entertainment, and information at your fingertips. Wallets are a way to carry money, various cards, and your driver’s license. I think one day you will only need your phone for all of that but we aren’t there just quite yet.
Chilling out is important. After a full week of work, it’s good to relax. For me, it’s hard to do. In the back of my mind, I think I am just being lazy and I think there is something that needs to be done. I also have this anxiety that someone is going to call and beg for my help.
As I have said I have to work at setting boundaries and saying no. It is important to reclaim my time for myself instead of giving myself away. Sure, it’s nice to be needed but I don’t want to be needed so much at this stage in my life.
So as I write this, I am having some fun and enjoying the time to do stuff I want to do. Perhaps I should matter more to me.
Hey friends, it’s Friday. Let’s finish this strange week the best we can. Make it a great day. Peace, love, and fun to you all as we head into the weekend.
Change can be good for almost anything. So, I felt like my blog needed a little refreshing and perhaps something familiar at the same time. I have spent time changing my blog theme which I haven’t done in a while. I am using the 2016 WordPress Theme with some custom CSS to make it look like I want it to look which is white/light font on dark backgrounds. It is in keeping with my whole dark mode motif I have everywhere I can. I hope you check it out and your input is appreciated. Keep on blogging good people.
Today is the last day of June and the last day of LGBTQ Pride month. I hope this month will increase the spirit of those in the community as we face an uncertain future with the 2024 election coming up. My friends I am glad to be in your corner. Being LGBTQ is being yourselves. Be strong and keep up the good fight. Grace and peace to all my friends who want to live without fear and hatred. So, everyone in the US, UK, and Canada make plans to vote like freedom and democracy depend upon it. Because it does. I hope your June was a good one.
