Sunday Reflection: Pointing To Good News

Good news is hard to come by these days. So when you see it, you have to just need to take it and be grateful for something going right for a change. I think it takes people to point to that good news so that we can be blessed by it because we need it so much.

Whether it be a person on the street or a journalist or a good friend we need to pay attention to those who want to share good tidings of comfort and joy (like the Christmas reference there).  Whether that source of goodness comes from acts of kindness, the divine, or a good samaritan we need to be inspired to act ourselves in doing things that make the world better.

Start spreading the news that can lift others up and make your existence easier to deal with. Point to the good and maybe others who are doing good will point back to you.

 

 

Status Update

Well, good people how is everyone doing at this time of day? The weekend is almost here and that’s always good news.

Human Rights Day #HumanRightsDay

Human Rights Day on December 10 remembers the day the General Assembly of the UN adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. It is the most translated document around the world and is available in over 500 languages. It has inspired countries and people alike to start treating every person with the right to life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness. On Human Rights Day we acknowledge the importance of this document and the importance of human rights.

Every human should have the right to live and love and exist in the way they see fit without infringing on the rights of others. We need to be reminded of this now more than ever as places around the world are seeking to deny personhood to people who are different from they are.

Quote Of The Day

Be joyful though you have considered all the facts

What I Have To Say, A Note To My Followers #bloggers #wordpress

Friends, I am going to try to lighten up the content you see here. We all can use some levity. However, the world is a place of suffering and pain that cannot be ignored no matter how hard we try. So in my future posts, I will try to have a balance of the sacred, the serious to the silly, and stuff on the fringes. Also, a video or two to keep things interesting.

I realize it’s my blog and I can post what I want, but I want to have a place that is fun as it is pointed, relevant, and reacting to current events. That is why I am posting vintage toys and continuing to complain about Monday’s and the state of the world. Thanks for hanging with me all these years and for connecting here. Feel free to respectfully comment.

I encourage everyone to have a balance and to keep on blogging. The blogging community needs your voice. Let’s have some fun. Peace and love to you all.

Your Blogging Pal, Tony.
