Hard work is a daily grind. My work is not physically demanding like many others, but it’s mentally grueling. I have a daily quota that is sometimes hard to reach for various reasons. When I reach that quota, it feels great because I have had to work really hard to get there. So yeah, I do feel fulfilled, but it can be frustrating and sometimes discouraging to get to where I need to be daily. Fulfillment can also come from other sources when work isn’t there for you.

Repeating Yourself – Blogging Edition
It’s more than OK, to repeat posts you have made in the past. When you have been blogging as long as I have, some things are worth mentioning again. I have created thousands of posts over the years, and there is no way I can keep up with them all in my head.
Some posts are good to revisit because you have a new idea or things have changed, where an updated post is a good idea. Blogs can be a way to capture what is in your head to share with others. Sharing is fun, right?
The saying “everything old is new again” is oh so true these days. With all the reboots and recycled ideas in culture. We are all different people than we once were. Blogging is supposed to be a living and evolving exercise. Enjoy the process of sharing an old idea in a new way. The most important thing is to Keep On Blogging!

Something About The Impact Of Opinions
Everyone is entitled to their opinions. But when those opinions come from a place of harm or hate, then it goes into something more dangerous.
I see racism, homophobia, transphobia, Islamophobia and antisemitism as being very harmful. Those systems of hate are dangerous to people who are our friends and neighbors. I do not abide any of that. We cannot let the opinions of people who come from a dark place to create chaos. If you are keeping up, people who are speaking out are finding themselves in danger.
It’s time to show love to one another and to have the opinions that welcome, include and promote understanding. It’s the only way we will survive. Love your neighbor and yourself while you are at it.
Rest In Power Robert Redford – All The President’s Men, A Masterpiece
Legendary actor, director and humanitarian Robert Redford passed away on September 16, 2025. Tonight we are watching “All The President’s Men” in honor of his life and legacy. This movie is about Bob Woodward played by Redford and Carl Bernstein that is played by Dustin Hoffman, who investigated the Watergate story in the 1970’s that would result in bring down Richard Nixon’s presidency. It’s a masterpiece that starts intense and finishes strong. It’s a terrific film with all sorts of intrigue and tells the story of hungry journalists getting to the bottom of a serious story.

It’s a masterpiece that starts intense and finishes strong.
I highly recommend everyone see this movie because there are parallels to today’s political scene.
