June 21, 2023 by

A sunny day is the best sort of day for cheering. You can go outside and walk around with the joy of the day, no matter what is celebrated. And you don’t have to dress like you’re going on an undersea adventure. Just open the door and step out. But what is there to celebrate? […]

TAKE ‘THE PAUSE’ TO SHOW RESPECT

June 20, 2023 by

‘The Pause’ in this post is the moment a medical team takes after a patient dies. Whoever is in the bed deserves a moment of quiet for the life they led. I’m a fan of people understanding the idea of respect and how it’s shown. But why wait until the last moment?

PEOPLE UNITED BY GIVING WRITERS

June 8, 2023 by

Needy people? You see them all over the place? So do I. I’m one of them. Oh, and so are you. We need things we don’t have. Writers give some of those things, or at least the feeling of giving. So what?

‘THE PLOT’ THICKENS: A BOOK REVIEW

May 26, 2023 by

The Plot is the first book I’ve read that includes Facebook and twitter as important characters. No that’s not a spoiler. Neither is this: they’re cast in a dark light. Did I enjoy reading The Plot? A reviewer on Amazon said the first third drags along but that’s the part I most enjoyed.

BREAKDOWN BLOGGER BREAKS IT DOWN

March 11, 2023 by

The Breakdown Blogger understands you. They’re not breaking down, but breaking down big things into smaller bits. Not everyone is strong enough to carry the big things all at once. Call it a fact of life. Or call it nonsense. But before you call it anything, consider the weight.

When is the last time you were singing along with anyone outside of church? Chances are it’s been a while if you’re not churched, or not in a band. Is it because you don’t have a song to sing? We can fix that. But it’s more than lack of a song, isn’t it?
