I found this nugget of wisdom on Facebook. I agree with it very much. Burnout is definitely related to being valued on the job and in other things you do. The way to keep people engaged and active, especially if they are a hardworking individual, is to offer some praise and appreciation. The same principles work for being on the job. As a people-pleaser, I have experienced this first hand. An attaboy or attagirl can be a good thing to do.
Overused word of the day… Obliterated.
There is a ‘sanctity’ involved with bringing a child into this world: it is better than bombing one out of it.

Nostalgia isn’t what it used to be.

Much of the U.S. is going to be hot today. It’s going to be a day when air conditioning is going to be in full demand. Staying cool and hydrating will help get us through the coming days. Take care everyone wherever you might be.
The first day of summer in the Northern Hemisphere arrives with the solstice this year on Friday, June 20, 2025, 10:42 p.m. EDT. With Summer comes fun and sun and weird weather. Let’s stay cool as the heat warms all around us. Remember to hydrate because it’s good for you, and try not to get sunburned.
Meanwhile, I will be counting down the days until my favorite season, which is Fall.
