Sometimes you can breathe and be yourself when you are alone. We all have a game face to put on in public. So many people would love to be authentic when they are among family and friends but often they have to play their part, know their role, to be the person others expect. This might sound cynical but its often true. It takes special people to allow you to be the person you want to be without ridicule. When you are alone you are responsible for caring for yourself and maybe a pet if you have one. I suck at being alone because I have an identity as a husband and that requires being in the company of the one I love. Being yourself when you are alone is something you can do but it can be a challenge too.

Deleting Your Blog, It Solves Nothing
A blog is a tool for expression, a way to share your feelings. I find it very therapeutic and recreational. For many their blog has become their voice when they have something to say.
Deleting your blog really solves nothing. The problem with deleting is that an important part of your life goes away. On a platform like WordPress where there are millions of other voices you have to be picky in who you listen to and how you relate to those people. Not everyone will be sensitive and caring online. I have discovered its best to restart and be selective to who you want to connect with.
I still very much believe in being original, myself and to say what I have to say myself. So with that being said I want others who do the same.
So to all those considering deleting your blogs, think again, resist that. Your blog can be your friend.
Have A Great Day
You never know what to say to someone who isn’t feeling it on any given day. Stuff is going on in their lives they are trying to get through but finding it tough. Saying “have a great day” sounds like pouring salt into a wound but you know there is a flip side to that. Maybe that person needs some encouragement to turn things around. Perhaps they need to know that there is light at the end of a dark tunnel. What they are going through is hopefully a short-term event and offering some hope is always a good thing. Being kind to someone in a unfortunate situation says something about who we are and is an opportunity to lift the load on someones heart and soul.
So everyone with all that being said…HAVE A GREAT DAY!
Happy Wednesday
Hello good people its now Wednesday and things are good. Lets have the best day possible and get things accomplished. Of course the weekend is in closer view than it was yesterday. To you my friends I hope you do amazing things today. Love, peace, grace and rock on!
A Ramble About The Treatment of Women
Women have it tough today…even in the 21st century. It seems as if the advances of the 1990’s has been under attack by those who really want the good old days. I believe women should make health care decisions on their own and with their doctor’s advice.. Stories of women being treated poorly and the issue of rape is so wrong. To see their stories of being mistreated and abused is truly sad.
In church on Sunday the rector of the parish we were visiting said that wisdom is feminine and who am I to argue. Many women in my life are way smarter than me. They inspire me in so many ways. I have been blessed in my life to have many great women as family, mentors and friends and bloggers. From my wife, to my mom to my grandmother they all make me a better person.
As I have said before women need to have the freedom to make their own choices and decisions without the interference of men unless it’s in a marital situation where a joint decision needs to be made. Women should be able to take their own path in life to make their dreams come true.
So my sisters keep reaching to break the glass ceiling, do your thing, be your own people. Be strong, be courageous.
Rambling About Being Social
Humans for the most part are social creatures. Perpetual isolation goes against our nature. Granted some people like to be alone but even then the need for interaction is good for them. We cannot think of ourselves as an island out there in a vast ocean. Every human being is connected in one way or another through something. No matter who you are there are times when you need a warm embrace that reminds you that you are indeed special. We all need that company that helps us get through life when tough times come. People are informed by the conversations they have with others who share their experiences. Learning from others is important to help us not make the same mistakes they have made. Everyone needs somebody, somebody to hold. Being social is being very human indeed.
