Speaking as a person who has been on the outside of life looking in I know the value of being included. It’s my personal goal to be as inclusive as possible with people in my life. Being excluded from things sucks if you ask me. It’s human nature to want to be valued and needed.
One thing I have learned from my experience is that life is too short not to enjoy life. A lot of people on the fringes would like that same experience and consideration. So many times in my life I have heard about situations where people were having fun and I wasn’t a part of it. I want to be sure that people in my life know they are welcome and that they are valued and wanted.
I use a service called IFTTT to add my Instagram photos to my blog. My reason for doing so is to make it easier to post a quick pic to my blog. The wildly popular photo sharing platform does some cool things to pictures and I want to bring that content to my blog. It is also another way to connect to you my blogging community. I don’t always like uploading pictures via the WordPress app and Instagram is much easier for a quick photoblog. Some folks prefer to keep them separate and that’s cool but for me I like bringing the two together. I wish Instagram would work natively without a 3rd party on WordPress.
Thanks to each of you who follow me on all my platforms. I appreciate your friendships and how you tell your stories of who you are and what you enjoy doing.
Yea! the week is done. I am very happy to be at home chilling out and waiting for dinner. Today was a very tough day that I survived. When a system fails that you rely upon to do your job it makes things very interesting. Being reliant upon technology can be a tricky thing but it’s where we are in the world these days. Anyway, I am looking forward to the evening ahead. I hope your Friday goes well and may the weekend be awesome. The week is finished and I am very glad.
It’s interesting how memories and longing pulls us back to a place in time. There are also situations that make you yearn for better days. Our memories are tied into our emotions and its interesting how all that makes you feel. With that being said it makes it hard to live in the moment.
This song has some serious staying power. It’s frequently played on a local radio station and other places. It’s from the 1980’s but it seems to have a timeless feel to it. Every good pop/rock song does.
