Yeah, she’s in her hoodie, and her hair is up. So what? Even at the end of the day, she’s amazing.

Friday Writing Challenge – Crazy Little Thing Called…
When we appreciate the little things: the moments, the kismet, the feelings that fill us even if for a brief point in time, we start to see the unwritten poems all around us. The beauty in our lives. The beauty we sometimes take for granted.
I know I need to do a better job of seeing the beauty, but she helps me with that every day.
Confidence
As I have often said, every day we are faced with decisions. We make those decisions in the moment using the best information we have at that moment. From that, you should have no regrets.
Friday Writing Challenge, Again
There’s no such thing as an undamaged person, but to understand someone else’s damage, to understand what they need, and to understand who you need to be in order to not add to that damage takes effort. A lot of effort. Effort that very few people are willing to put into a relationship.
This is really complicated. But it isn’t about who is damaging who, or what damage we all have. We have to start putting more effort into understanding ourselves, having patience with each other, and recognizing the things that truly matter in our world. There’s no one right answer, or easy answer, or magic pill.

Weigh-In Wednesday Again
This literally weighs on me. I want this nation to be a shining example of what a nation should be.

All right, look, you’re a roofer, and some juicy government contract comes your way; you got a wife and kids and the two-story in suburbia – this is a government contract, which means all sorts of benefits. All of a sudden these left-wing militants blast you with lasers and wipe out everyone within a three-mile radius. You didn’t ask for that. You have no personal politics. You’re just trying to scrape out a living.
Roofer: Well, I’m a contractor myself. I’m a roofer—Dunn and Ready Home Improvements—and speaking as a roofer, I can tell you, a roofer’s personal politics comes into play heavily when choosing jobs.
Wednesday Weigh-In and Random Thoughts
Disheartening to see another side to the history we have been taught, and understand that the United States might have actually been the bad-guy when it came to de-militarizing after World War II, and forced the cold war upon the world, instead of working toward making the world a better place.
Toxic Masculinity
The important things to remember are, when we win, we win with grace. When we lose, we keep our dignity, and take lessons from our losses.
Good character means more in life than having a perfect record, or a shelf of trophies.
