We are expecting some winter weather here in the Chattanooga, area this weekend. Like anything, this forecast can change over the next couple of days. It’s my hope we won’t be in any danger, but a little snow would be nice.
Meteorology is hard, and those who practice it do their best to get things right. Give those who are doing their best a break. I say be cool, be kind.
I love Canada and its treats. Coffee Crisp is the bomb.
Today is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in the United States. He was a minister, a leader, a dreamer, and a civil rights icon. I feel like it’s more important than ever to remember all the things he did and to continue the fight for equality, justice, and love. The people of the world are better because he lived what he preached and made things better for so many. His work continues on in those he influenced. We need that work now more than ever. Thank you, Dr. King, for putting hands and feet to your faith.
I went to a funeral at church today. The person being memorialized was the brother of a fellow church member. Frankly, it was good to go and be reminded of how precious life is. Also, it was good to focus on being there for a friend who is grieving.
Everyone is grieving something these days. Losing someone special is a pain that hangs around for a long time. Trust me, I know all too well.
While I was there at church, I was unaware of what was going on in the rest of the world. Sure, I had my phone with me, but I just kept it in the holster on my waist. Bill, who was being remembered, and his family were the focus of the moment. I was glad to be there because it was the right thing to do. Rest in power to Bill and others who have left us for eternity.
Nothing like watching the Stranger Things series finale for our third time, having pizza and soda to make a great Friday night at home. Our weather is icky tonight, so a cozy night in is in order. I hope you are having a good evening to begin your weekend.
It’s another Friday and the second of 2026. May we try to find some humor in the tragedy of the world. My new Texts From Dog calendar is about delivering a moment of fun. Have a good day and a good weekend.
