Older people enjoy the company of younger folks. Yes there are exceptions to that rule but I think being in the company of wise folks can benefit everyone. There are amazing stories from people who are seasoned citizens, people who have lived through a lot of different things. You can learn a lot from someone who’s been around the block a time or two. As a younger person there is life changing wisdom that can be gained. Be open to cross-generational opportunities for friendship.

Happy Weekend Everyone!
After a crazy week my weekend has begun.
This past week at work we launched a new software platform which was challenging. The transition is going well so that has reduced the overall stress.
Yesterday we kicked it off a date night of dinner and a movie. I can’t believe how good Tomorrowland was and it will be a movie I hope to see in the theater again.
Our Saturday began with peanut butter pancakes, bacon, melted cheese and coffee. Cooking breakfast on Saturday’s is my favorite. After the past week there is going to be some chilling out and doing some stuff around the house. I enjoy a lazy Saturday. There is something renewing and fun about it. Any chance one can have to clear the noggin is a good thing.
Whatever you are doing this weekend I hope its fun! Grace, peace and love my friends.
When Things Get Tough
Have faith and hope that you will have a brighter tomorrow. Change your circumstances and situation by finding places and people that will renew your spirit. Hang in there, life does get better, not perfect, just better.
It’s OK To Get Happy
People would do well to not take things so seriously. We should learn to have fun and chill out. Overthinking things can be a problem too. Our prior experiences can color our view of the present. If we all just decided to be intentionally positive and happy perhaps the world would be a better place to be in and people would be more pleasant to be around. Even in tough times it’s OK to get happy.

Rambling About Scapegoats
We live in a time when people are looking for scapegoats for everything. It’s a serious problem when things are changing rapidly and people are losing control over their personal situations. When people are stressed because they have lost their jobs and their standing in life they need to find a reason for it. The more things change, the more they stay the same and we can look to our past during times in our history when some people were persecuted for being different and wanting the same things other people have. It’s a troubling thing to scapegoat because sometimes the problem is closer to home than you think.
Scapegoating has been used to justify racism, homophobia, discrimination and more. It still is a problem with some folks who cannot accept the change we have in the world.
