Metal lunchboxes were the best lunchboxes. The thermos could have anything hot or cold. For me to get a sandwich and chips was a good thing. Thanks to my mom for all the lunches she made for me as a kid.

Wednesday Wisdom: A Little More Action, Please #WednesdayWisdom
When you say you are a part of something people will believe you based on your actions. It’s my experience that people want to see less conversation and a little more in the doing part.
Doing what you say you will do matters and yes, I am not always good at doing that which is partially just being lazy and being imperfect. Like every other human I am a work in progress. Action is a good goal if you ask me.
However, we have it in us to do things that will draw people into our cause. Setting a good example and being a role model can bring more people to the table which can be oh so important.
Always be that person who strives to do their part and makes a change in the world. It will be amazing in how many people will be impacted hopefully for the better. A little more action, please.
Wednesday Wisdom: Resolving An Issue
Resolving conflicts means taking your issues to those who are causing the problem. Sometimes it requires others to get involved to mediate and help facilitate reconciliation. So much of what we see is airing of grievances in the public spaces that it causes a bigger problem than there should be. Resolving issues requires listening, communication, patience. Sometimes it means a separation or an agreement to disagree but that should only come as a last resort. Hopefully all things are done from a place of respect and dignity. What the world needs now is people coming together when possible.
Wednesday Wisdom: Water #WednesdayWisdom
Water is life. It is one of the first things made in creation. So much of our livelihoods are dependent on the stuff. For a believer its cleansing for the soul. H20 is a molecule and when there is a lot of it there can be hydration for the body, recreation for the spirit, power for our lives. It can be a way we receive nourishment and care.
When water becomes violent such as a storm or a hurricane then it becomes devastating. Water seems to always win. You can build things to retain it but still it wins. But on the riverbanks and at the lake it can be a place for people to gather to connect with one another.
Today, lets think about water in all the ways it is a significant part of our existence. Don’t forget to drink what you need and not waste any. Water is very much alive.
Wednesday Wisdom
You don’t always get what you wish for. But you get what you work for.
Daily Prompt – Word Of The Day: Focus
What do you focus on?
Work, family, life, friends, others, faith, people?
It’s cool to focus on all those things but the priority can say something about you, me, us, the world. No matter what keep you focus on the main thing whatever that might be.
