After a few days away I have returned to usher 2021 to the scrap heap of history. It was a rough year but we made it through for the most part.
I will be posting and sharing more in the coming days and renewing my connection to my blogging community. I hope you all are doing well and are ready for a new start and a new year 2022.
Grace and peace to you all. Let’s finish 2021 strong then focus on the future.
Love, your friend Tony
Saying nothing is saying something. Nothing much happening means there is something going on. It’s ok to live a slow and boring life. Staying in a place where there’s not a lot going on or nothing much isn’t all that bad. The speed of life should not measure the quality of it.
Be chill good people.
We are not to simply bandage the wounds of victims beneath the wheels of injustice, we are to drive a spoke into the wheel itself.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
A man can do only what he can do. But if he does that each day he can sleep at night and do it again the next day.
Albert Schweitzer
Giving it all you got daily can be challenging. There are some days when faking it until you make it is the best you can do. I understand that doing your best is important and, in some occupations, you cannot have an off day.
All I am saying is that being human comes with boundaries and limitations that sometimes cannot be overcome. Doing the best, you can does not always mean 100% effort, often it means something closer to 50%.
I guess it depends on your attitude or how you are feeling physically and mentally. Circumstances can also dictate what doing your best really means. Expectations and reality are two different things here and how you approach what life throws at you and how you meet those challenges. Do your best, whatever that looks like and then let it go. There is only so much one person can do in this life.
We need corny right about now.
Living and existing, two different things.
Be safe and well good people.
