A Note To My Blogging Community

I have been taking a religious study course over the past four years. There was a lot of reading and much mental and even some physical power was used. Believe it or not, I am not a very prolific reader. That is why I like blogs because they are by-in-large short articles.

My course is ending on Monday and I hope to be able to rejoin the blogging community as a reader as much as I am a blogger/writer. It’s cool to read and write like a hard disk does. It’s funny how all that works.

Thanks for continuing to follow me and check out my posts. Life can be better with blogging.

Your friend, Tony

Another WordPress Anniversary

My friends’ thanks for taking this journey with me. I have not been blogging full-time for 16 years it’s only been about 8. Blogging remains a great way to connect and communicate in the online community. Keep on blogging good people.

Quote Of The Day

Nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know.

Pride Is More Than Your Paycheck

A person’s paycheck is a recognition of their work. It should never be used to judge someone’s worth. People who show up to do jobs that don’t make a lot are doing the best they can. Pay shaming isn’t cool and doesn’t do anyone any good. There are many people who need to be paid more than what they make.

Most people are paycheck to paycheck workers. Some folks have to hold down two or three jobs just to make ends meet. Many work long shifts that aren’t 9-5. It’s important to support those who work hard every day, no matter what they do. Pride is more than your paycheck.

Change Is All Around

The more you stay in a place the more it changes around you. Whether it be a job, a neighborhood, or somewhere else you see people, places, and things change and there’s really nothing you can do about it. Life moves on, people move on, everything moves on.

I have been in my job for almost eight years and I have seen faces come and go. My roles have changed. Yet I still remain because I have built a career in which I am helping people and saving lives.

The more things change, the more they stay the same is a philosophy I am not sure I agree with. Change is all around you. Don’t get too comfortable.

The work goes on. Life goes on. The thing about it all is you have to adapt and change along with all the stuff. I suppose you hold on to the important things and keep the main thing the main thing.

Positive And Negative

My posts are largely inspired by the world around me and the times in which we live. I do hope you are not bummed out by your visits here. I am a positive person most of the time but like anyone, I have my moments where negativity is the appropriate response. Thank you for visiting here and for your friendship.
