This week has been a real struggle. Winter weather on Monday and Tuesday seemed to make everyone a little cautious and not willing to do much. In my line of work people are your livelihood and when they won’t budge then you proceed to pull your hair out, get a headache among other things. My friends you just have to fight through stuff and do your best. Yes the reality of it all is that we all have challenges and how we face them says a little about ourselves.

Rambling About Shaming
There seems to be a lot of shaming in the media today or perhaps it’s the bravery and anonymity of people on social media baiting people into saying really nasty and negative things. What I find sad is when people venerate people for being in their minds the best thing since sliced bread and oxygen while tearing another person down for not being good enough in their minds.
Peyton Manning gets lauded in these parts while Cam Newton is vilified for one reason or another. Facebook can be a bastion of judgmental people (I have been one at times) but there have been some venomous comments made about famous people because they don’t fall in line with their politics or religious slant.
Now I am not without fault but there are some who are very nasty because they have been taught they have to be to elevate their position in an argument. A lot of shaming is a result of hidden prejudice and discrimination. It seems like the volume of people online is deafening and disappointing. Maybe we need to turn down the noise and have constructive dialogue.
Maybe we should all chill out. Take a time out. Say something nice for a change.
Rambling About Snow
Snow is a beautiful, sometimes dangerous thing. Each flake is different and combined with other flakes can create beauty and chaos at the same time. It’s something that keeps us mesmerized but can cause us great headaches too. It can bring us together but it can also keep us apart. Water and temperature make snow what it is. People can make their livelihoods from it for different reasons. It’s recreational and its catastrophic. We need snow days to give us a break from the norm and usually its from a storm. It can change your plans and change your world for a bit. You can see it all the time in a globe. If you see it may you enjoy it. Snow is a marvelous thing.
Moanday, Moanday – It’s Monday Again
Yep, it is “Moanday” the day we all like to moan about. Yeah we all moan about it being Monday.
I am back at work after my 3-day weekend. Coming back after a bit of a break can be a pain especially catching up on the work you left behind. Today is going to happen whether we like it or not so we gotta keep moving. Drink one more cup of coffee and try to put a smile on your face if possible. Have a great day everyone. Love, peace and grace good people.

What are you fighting for and against today?
Do we have to go there, sometimes yes but I hope never.

Censorship is not always a good thing but in this case I am all for it. The world is too dangerous a place to allow unchecked commentary and communication online. From terror to bullies we need to call people into account for what they post.
