Today is traditionally one of the biggest shopping days of the year. Early risers will pound the pavement and sometimes one another for the best deals. The whole thing can be chaotic and sometimes violent. It’s not worth it for a TV or computer. For those working today like my Sister my heart goes out to them. I call on all of us to be kind, respectful and mindful of their position. Retail is hard work and on days like today it can be harder than usual.
May the odds be ever in your quest for the bargains you seek. Be kind in the process. Love and peace good people.
Dear friends, I wish you a Happy Thanksgiving today. During this time may we remember those who make our lives better. Be thankful for what we have and don’t sweat the rest. It’s important to recognize that this holiday is tough for some and does have its own issues but through reconciliation and love it can be a new way forward of gratitude and peace. However, you celebrate may you be safe and have fun. Thanks to those who serve during this day.
Give me the ordinary times over the times when life is way more exciting than I can handle. Boring can be best when chaos is all around you. I find that the world needs more ordinary people, places, and things. Be grateful for the opportunities to enjoy simple pleasures. Rest and renewal of your mind, body, and spirit can do you good. Life is found in the ordinary.
I donated blood today at Church which brings together a couple of worlds of mine. Twice a year we do a blood drive which I organize because it helps those in need. In full disclosure, I work at Blood Assurance which is our regional blood bank that brings a mobile donation unit to the church. We do this as an outreach to our community to provide life-saving blood to patients in the hospitals we serve.
A clean install of your computer’s operating system is a good idea. However, when you have to do it because you screw up is not always fun. I have made that error more times than I can count. Fortunately, my prior experience is helpful when unscheduled maintenance is needed. Being a geek is beneficial when you need to correct your mistakes. It’s helpful to be a geek if you ask me.
