Dear gentle bloggers. I am back after a few days away. Sometimes you just need to take a break from things you enjoy. The good news is that I am renewed and ready to resume regular posts. I am hoping to extend my reach and engagement. That means having more quality posts. Sometimes I feel like I am a little boring. Comment and let me know what you think. Good feedback is always welcome. So as I always have said, “keep on blogging” and share the journey.
International Left-Handers Day is an international day observed annually on August 13 to celebrate the uniqueness and differences of left-handed individuals. Being left-handed can be difficult in a world designed primarily by right-handed humans. Studies suggest that approximately 10% of people are left-handed.
I am proud to say that I am very left-handed. Special people are born blessed with this gift. Many remarkable people are left-handed such as my Missus, Prince William, Oprah Winfrey, Lady Gaga, Barack Obama, Eminem, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Buzz Aldrin, Lebron James, Jon Stewart, Babe Ruth, and Morgan Freeman are all terrific southpaws.
To all my left-handed friends, we are truly in our right minds. Have a great left-handers day to all the good people who observe.
I would say if you are living you are also dreaming. It is not the type of dreams about prosperity and possibility, but those dreams you have at night when you are asleep and your subconscious takes over. Your mind has to process the stuff that you input over time.
Sometimes it’s good stuff but other times it’s not very pleasant. My dreams are often weird and I suppose most people’s dreams are strange come to think of it. Dreaming is healthy and necessary. Dreams have different meanings and are more symbolic of something else in your life. Let’s just hope that dreams don’t turn into constant nightmares. Those aren’t fun.
The interpretation of dreams is the royal road to a knowledge of the unconscious activities of the mind.

I love retro and nerdy things so I think I would open a shop where you could buy vintage tech, media, clothing, and collectibles. Also, that shop would be where you could get retro treats like soda, candy, snacks, etc. As my generation gets older, having things that remind us of our childhood would be comforting. Newer generations might appreciate antiques from the times of the generations that came before. Just imagine the things that you would find in a store like that.

The school busses were out and running this morning, a sign of students returning to the classroom. On Facebook, I have seen many of my friend’s children in their first-day-of-class pictures. Back in my day the kids used to go back after Labor Day (in America). Now they go back in early August. I am hoping those kids will have a great year in the classroom and beyond. May they also be safe and secure. Let’s hope the lessons they learn this year will make the world a better place for themselves and for everyone. Do a good job kids.
Chilling out is important. After a full week of work, it’s good to relax. For me, it’s hard to do. In the back of my mind, I think I am just being lazy and I think there is something that needs to be done. I also have this anxiety that someone is going to call and beg for my help.
As I have said I have to work at setting boundaries and saying no. It is important to reclaim my time for myself instead of giving myself away. Sure, it’s nice to be needed but I don’t want to be needed so much at this stage in my life.
So as I write this, I am having some fun and enjoying the time to do stuff I want to do. Perhaps I should matter more to me.
