Be Kind Online

I make a good effort to be kind online. However, some things people say need to be challenged, but that can be done without being a total jerk. Some of the comments I see online are really inappropriately cruel. It’s the security of an always on connection to the Internet and a keyboard that makes being mean possible. It’s important that we are all human beings. Be kind to one another, but remember to focus on justice and peace for everyone above all. Love and grace to us all.

Daily Prompt – How Do I Relax?

Daily writing prompt
How do you relax?

I answered this daily prompt in August of last year. I am revisiting it to say the things that cause me not to relax are still present. I do what I can to relax, but it’s hard for me. Being able to relax is important, and it’s taking me awhile to figure out to do more of it. But when I do relax I like to blog, watch TV, listen to podcasts, and cook breakfast on a Saturday morning. I do enjoy working on computer stuff too.

Visit my post from last year to see how I answered this question.

Hello There Friday!

Hello there Friday. It’s always good to see you again. Have a great day, good people. The weekend is almost here!

Status Update

Today has been a great day to chill out and do fun things. That includes making breakfast burritos, taco salad and doing computer stuff. It’s been a good day.

Today Is My Birthday! I Am Thankful For 56 Wacky Years

August 29, 2025, I turned 56 years old. I will tell you that aging ages a man. Seriously, I am grateful for all the years I have been gifted. Today I reflect on what has been and what I hope will come in the future. I don’t always feel worthy, but I do appreciate all of those I have shared this life with. Thank you to my family and friends who put up with me. Let’s hope for more wacky fun down the road. Happy Birthday to me!

The Swift-Kelce’s – An Engagement For The Ages

I admit, I am a bit of a Swiftie. Taylor Swift is a generational talent who has worked hard for her success. She is a songwriter, performer, actor, philanthropist, and producer. It was announced today that she and Kansas City Chiefs tight-end Travis Kelce who is also a solid entertainer are engaged to be married. That news sent the Interwebs into overdrive today.

I find this to be a needed joyful moment, considering how much we need joy right now. It shouldn’t be up to a young engaged couple, no matter their celebrity, to lift the spirits of millions of people. But in the situation that exists in America it’s what will lift spirits and spark imagination.

They are a lovely modern couple. They have been together for two years and have weathered her box office breaking Eras Tour and his trips to the Super Bowl. Guys, who have a problem with her, get over it. She has done a lot for the game of Football by bringing her Swifties along for the ride.

I think it’s great they are taking the next step. I think their wedding is going to be a significant cultural event, but hopefully it will be what they want it to be, a time to celebrate a couple tying the knot. God bless them both as they enter into their marriage, which is way more important than the wedding. Let’s hope They Are Ready For It.
