A Ramble About The Treatment of Women

Woman_power_symbolWomen 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.

A Ramble About Misunderstanding

Thanks for being my blogging pals. If i say something screwy let me know. Life is too short to lose people to misunderstandings. Communication can solve a lot of issues before they become issues. Think about how many relationships have been sunk due to people saying something that was not understood in the right spirit. We all need to take a minute to listen and offer a chance for someone to clarify their words. Peace is still needed in our world and its our friendships where it can start first.

Trainwreck…A Great, Surprising, Romantic Movie

downloadAmy Schumer is a star now and this movie that she wrote is further proof of that. This was our date night movie and it made us laugh because of how much it is relatable and real. Bill Hader was fabulous as a leading man and he will be seen on the silver screen many times in the future. For couples there were moments that made you laugh because you had been through them in real life. Singles can get something out of it because of the search for love that seems never ending. For families the struggle with the care of a parent is a theme we all identify with.

The movie was loaded with appearances of Saturday Night Live cast members past and present and where there is one there must be more. The pro athletes in the movie were really talented and helped make this movie even better. My friends if you can stand a little language and the naked butt of pro wrestler John Cena then you won’t be disappointed.

Happy Friday Everyone, The Weekend Is Upon Us!

I forgot to wish everyone a happy Friday, so HAPPY FRIDAY!

This week seemed to go by fairly quickly except for a couple of days there that seemed to go on forever. I will be on the road on Saturday going to an alumni meeting at Hiwassee College and back home to chill for the evening. Sunday it’s church and I have to work for about 3 hours which is not bad and is giving me some overtime which is coming in handy.

Whatever you are doing this weekend I hope its fun. Of course there will be moments for blogging. I am confident there is plenty out there to inspire you to post about. Rock on good people!
