Today is National Best Friend Day but it’s OK not to have a best friend. My spouse is my friend but not my bestie, that is a different sort of relationship that is way more intimate and special. I have always thought friendships are tough and demanding and in this temporal world we live in there is a lot of life transitions that define what and how long friendship is. I think there is pressure to maintain a platonic partnership like that because of the time and energy it takes. Some tandems have made it work over the years but others have gone their separate ways. It’s OK that I don’t have one. There is no sob story there. It is just the reality of my life.

Happy Wednesday Everyone!
It’s getting closer to Friday, but first have a great Wednesday.
Rock on good people, lets do this!
Tunes Tuesday – Bon Jovi – Livin’ On A Prayer
This song tells a story of a couple who are going through tough times. I think the central message of living on a prayer is what many experience as daily life. Prayer and persistence through trials can make the difference. Bon Jovi released this in 1986 and he sounds as good today as he did back then.
Happy Ramadan Mubarak To My Muslim Friends and Fellow Bloggers #ramadan
From History.com In Islam, Ramadan is a holy month of fasting, introspection and prayer.
To my followers who celebrate this Holy time I wish you grace, peace and love. May God bless us all as we find ways to come together and to love one another. I look forward to you sharing your stories during this time.
As-salāmu ʿalaykum good people!
Breakfast At Olive Bean
We tried a new breakfast spot this morning. Olive Bean has a good menu of scratch made food featuring breakfast and lunch options. They have a gift shop too and soda fountain. It’s nice going to a different place to expand your horizons.
YABAR – Yet Another Blog About Reblogging
OK, perhaps I am just overreacting and making a mountain out of a mole hill about this reblogging thing.
Here are a couple of ground rules for my followers…
- DO NOT reblog personal posts that include family and other personal pictures.
- Ask for permission if there is something original I have written that sounds academic or poetic or something that could be used to advance my life and career.
- Other posts are OK including my music posts and other posts about current events, culture, etc.
Maybe that will eliminate unnecessary drama and angst on my part. I really wanna play well with others and perhaps have some of my stuff get the eyeballs and ears of others across the blogosphere.
