I am coming to a conclusion that I need and crave the company of like-minded people. Defending ones beliefs and opinions constantly is exhausting. Sure its good to have people who challenge you but I am kind of weary of the fear some have these days. It is really hard to be a progressive in a place where some folks are holding on to the old ways in a very aggressive way. I try to be open-minded but sometimes you have to make your stand to advance the cause of the least of these, the less fortunate, the person who is marching to the beat of their own drummer, the LGBTQ person, the people who want access to life, liberty and happiness. Yes I am a liberal and I wear that title proudly. May God bless and keep us all as we each try to figure this thing called life out.

Thought Of The Day 062817
Grace is a wonderful thing to give to others and yourself. It’s always available to those who need it.
Quote Of The Day
”I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I intended to be.” ~Douglas Adams
Doing The Best You Can
One might think they are doing the best they can, however in the eyes of others are they? You always wonder if your efforts are truly making a difference or could you work harder. Even the people who are at the top of their field wonder am I giving it my all. Doing the best you can should be all anyone should expect even though they might not deserve it.
You also wonder if the people who give raises and opportunity are seeing you do your best when it counts the most. Praise is always good in this situation.
Sometimes we all wish others would give their best because so much of the burden is carried by ourselves. Without our best nothing gets accomplished. We all have to make things happen in all facets of life but there are times when we don’t want to do the best we can because we are just tired of it all.
Some Secrets To Blogging
I have been blogging a long time and I have found that the secret to a good blog is content, personality and honesty. People I think want to see something real and I try to be that in every post. Another secret is to keep on blogging…the more you do it the better you get at it.
Finding community and like-minded people can be a huge help too although you do find some folks who are heavy on the criticism.
Like anything it is good to make it fun and something that allows for expression and reflection. You might even change the world by your words and images. Blogging is awesome and I encourage you to be the star of your own blog.
