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.

The Thing About Saints
No saint is a true saint in every sense of the word. First of all every saint is a human being who isn’t perfect, makes mistakes and does bad things from time to time. Perfection is impossible. Looking for the good in people is difficult in a world full of cynics and people looking for those gotcha moments to tear people down. I believe there is saint-like characteristics in most people, maybe we would be better if we encouraged people to exhibit those traits more often. A person is known by their spirit and the fruit they bear. Kindness and love can make people strive to be Saints despite their imperfections.
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?
Daily Prompt: Mistake
In my almost 47 years I have made plenty of mistakes. Some more serious than others but they are still things I did intentionally or unintentionally depending on the situation. Being a human being I am not perfect and never will be. I sometimes make the same mistakes over and over again because I am crazy enough to hope for better outcomes the next time around. We all have a responsibility to own up to our mistakes because the wrong things we do have an impact on the people we know and love. Confession can help you deal with life’s mistakes. Never be so proud to say you are sorry and try, try, try not to do it again.

Rambling About My Blogging Philosophy, In Short
My blogging philosophy is to pay attention to the world around you and inspiration will strike. I also do a lot of life streaming where I post about things that are going on at the moment. There are a few things I do as a routine when posting such as Music Mondays, Tunes Tuesdays, Throwback Thursday and Flashback Fridays that sort of thing. I will schedule some posts ahead of time if there is a theme I want to explore and to create some continuity. Blogging to me is an organic activity that needs to flow and breathe as life goes on and as the situations of life arise. Of course to keep a blog alive you have to keep on blogging.
