A dilemma is a situation we find ourselves in when we have a choice to make. It could be as important as your career and how to handle a family situation or as benign as what to order from the menu. It’s also when we find ourselves trapped by life’s circumstances. It is like being between a rock and a hard place or perhaps being stuck in a situation you can’t find escape from. Every one of us has been in a dilemma of one sort or another. What we do in that place says something about who we are.

A Ramble About Keeping Your Cool In The Lean Moments
To make anything happen when you are short on resources requires ingenuity and team work. I have been reminded of how you have to inspire others and to remain positive when things are not optimal in the situation you are in. For many the reaction when you are behind the eight ball is to panic but you can’t do that. Cooler heads will always prevail.
You have to be a little fearless and experimental to get through the obstacles of the moment. Now it’s OK to be a little afraid as long as you don’t show those cards to anyone. Confidence is a significant asset too (something I am working on) but most importantly keeping your focus on the task at hand can lead to good things. Always keep your chin up your eyes looking forward and find your motivation to move forward.
Status Update
I have concluded my September 11 posts. Thank you for your feedback and support about this time in world history. My future posts will be full of random nerdy stuff that comes from my head. Keep on blogging everyone.
“World Trade Center” A Somber, Serious Movie About September 11, 2001 #911
This movie by Oliver Stone tells the story of a group of Port Authority Police officers surviving in the rubble of the destroyed World Trade Center on September 11, 20o1. Nicholas Cage puts in a fabulous performance as Sgt. John McLoughlin along with Michael Peña who plays Officer Will Jimeno. This movie is less about the cause of the events but about the people who were doing their jobs that tragic day. Maria Bello and Maggie Gyllenhaal show the angst and waiting that many spouses felt that day as they waited for word about the fate of their loved ones.
A Theme Flip-Flop, Back To Twenty-Fourteen
So I must be the most indecisive blogger when it comes to their theme. Today I switched back to the Twenty -Fourteen theme because it just looks more modern with lots of spots for content and connecting. This is my blog and it’s meant to evolve over time and change depending on my needs. Thanks for sticking around good people.
Daily Prompt: Vice
Vice is defined as a moral depravity or corruption. It’s a flaw or weakness. Some people have their vices they struggle with and some things they embrace. A vice is also a thing that holds something in place using a heavy clamp as seen above. Then there is having your head in that same vice which always hurts, figuratively speaking. You don’t want to be busted by the vice squad of a police department. Being a Vice President is a pretty cool job. So as you see the word vice has many meanings. I think people who are left to their own devices can get into trouble or do amazing things. What’s your vice?
