Daily Prompt – Word Of The Day: Credit

Being creative is fun, and it’s even more fun when you inspire others in your works. The use of someone’s work should come with acknowledgement and credit. I really strive to be original, but I do need inspiration now and then. My posts here include words, images, videos and other types of media from various sources.

I want to offer them thanks for allowing me to use this in a fair use way where I do not financially benefit. A little credit is a great way to be a good blogging neighbor. I want to thank Catherine for her inspiring me to write this post. Check out her article https://micqu.org/2025/07/28/credit-where-credit-is-due/ to gain more insight.

Quote Of The Day

There’s power in looking silly and not caring that you do.

Sunday Reflection – Taking A Break

In scripture, God took a break after making the Heavens and Earth. God was on to something here. We all need a break from everyday people, places, and things. In this context, boundaries are important.

You can be so busy doing things that you just find yourself worn out, and stuff you find fun can be a burden.

When it comes to people, having a break is necessary. I think a break from those you love is good on both sides of a friendship.

Soon we will be going on vacation, and it will be good to see different and exciting things and have some new experiences. You can become weary from being in the same places over time.

It’s taken me a long time to set some boundaries. Even people who you like and love can take you for granted. It happens to everyone.

So, my friends. I encourage you to take a break. Get out of the routines that have you burdened and spend some time away. You will benefit from it. Peace and love to you all.

Question….

I have a question I would like you to answer for me. Do you find me and what I post interesting? Comments and constructive criticism welcomed.

Status Update

Hello to all who visit this blog. Hello to all who have been around a while. I hope the week has started good for you.

Trouble On The Air Waves In America

Yesterday, congress in the USA voted to defund Public Media in America. That means that PBS and NPR, which made up a small part of the total budget, will not receive aid from the government and that will impact Public TV and Radio stations from coast to coast. This is a problem because many of those stations provide an essential informational and instructional service to communities where there isn’t a good commercial option. Everything from news to Sesame Street will be impacted. This move is an act of political aggression if you ask me.

Then came word yesterday that Late Night with Stephen Colbert is ending after May 2026. The whole show has been canceled, and that means an essential voice in calling truth to power will go silent. Stephen Colbert always spoke truth to power, and in these days that is so needed. The parent company of his network, CBS says it’s a cost-cutting move, but that isn’t true if you ask me it’s political for sure. Colbert is a decent man with a wicked sense of humor that will be sorely missed.

It’s like some folks can’t handle the truth that comes with abusing power. To me, we are on a slippery slope, and that is never a good thing. The whole thing is wrong, and I am not happy about any of this. Now we wait for the next shoe to drop, impacting the culture of the USA.
