DIVIDED WE FALL

Times have changed in the past 10 years in this country. This United States is not very united anymore and it is an extremely sad thing. Political parties are pitted against each other and the people are to blame. It is time to take personal responsibility and work TOGETHER for the common good of the people. We are all better than this, playing the blame game. Gone is the tolerance of differing opinions. There is an old expression that applies to today's predicament which is, "It's my way or the highway." Herein, hate and resentment fester. Wishing that all of us would open our minds back up and practice acceptance of others no matter their opinion.

Have We Gone Too Far

Today at the grocery store I could not help but notice that people have even changed the Name of a fruit from "ugli" to "uniq"! Renaming everything so as not to offend people seems to have gone a bit overboard. Clearly our focus of what truly matters is off track. Can we be less offended and more accepting?

Politics Smallitics

People who do not want you to judge them are okay with judging you! They shout out for their rights but, forget you also have the same human rights. Both political parties are accusing the other side of exactly the same things they do themselves. It seems that people who are most vocal and want to be heard, have zero tolerance to hear people who have opposing views. Can we no longer look at ourselves and how our behavior may be contributing to the problem? or are we so closed minded now that we can not bear to allow other people to have opinions....right or wrong. What ever happened to taking the high road, stepping up, working things out, respecting ideas outside of our own beliefs. We should be mindful of how we portray ourselves for the world to see. We ought to be the best role models for those younger eyes and ears who are no longer out of the loop because of technology..

Families...#gottalovethem

Everyone is in a family for a reason. Share your similarities and learn from your differences. That is love ❤️ 

reflections on Easter morning

Is it possible for each of us to embrace our differences? Is there room enough in this world to allow space for each of us to live our lives according to our values and beliefs and to allow others the same choice? That is what I wish for. Since the beginning of mankind, people have been at war with each other pretty consistently. History books are filled with data and stories of various groups of people fighting against another group of people because of opposing views. We only have a limited time here on earth.
It is too bad that not everyone is on board to do their very best. In fact, some people are determined to do their very worst. The human mind is truly mindboggling at times.

tolerance at work

I did not put much effort into learning about Unions before I decided they were not for me. While I held zero animosity for those who chose to join, it was obvious that those in the union held a grudge towards me. I think this is wrong on so many levels as we live in a free country. Enough said on that!

sometimes my perspective gets in the way

Sometimes, when things in my life don't all line up, I can feel bogged down.  At these times, things just seem a little off to me.  It is not a comfortable feeling and can be hard to shake. At times like this, I need to remind myself that, even my perspective can be off.  Makes sense, doesn't it? I mean, truthfully, I view my own perspective to be pretty spot on! I admit, I could be bias. But, my perspective comes from my thoughtful consideration of any and all angles that I am inclined to think of.  Here is where I see there could be a problem if things are not all lined up. Well, if I am somewhat bogged down and somewhat uncomfortable in my thinking...am I truly considering all angles? THINK...could my perspective be off? I know it has been this week.  I did feel all those things. I did make a decision according to my perspective. and you know what I discovered? I made the wrong decision AND my perspective was off. so, there you go. Thankfully, it wasn't a life changing decision and I can give more consideration to things next time.
