Hurtful comments can damage your mind and spirit — when heard by you or said by you! When you hear someone backstabbing you, take the remarks with a grain of salt. When someone stands in judgment of another, remember there are two sides to every story and the other person deserves to be heard before condemning them. Check yourself when you are tempted to judge others or engage in backbiting; recall your own imperfections and our shared humanity!
Stop the madness! Remember: live and let live, bear and forbear, give and forgive.

“WASHINGTON, D.C. — Seventy-one percent of Americans say they support legal same-sex marriage, which exceeds the previous high of 70% recorded in 2021 by one percentage point.”
BUT — will that majority show up at the polls this November and on future election days?
Do you think you have all the time in the world? Do you believe there is always tomorrow? Think again. Spend time with those you love doing what you want to do. Those opportunities will end one day!

My heart is full of gratitude today as I realize I am (almost) recovered from a long foot ailment! It began in November 2018 and has plagued me the past 3 1/2 years, making walking very painful. It was difficult to walk more than a short distance before having to sit and rest my right foot. I’d been to a podiatrist, an acupuncturist, a physical therapist. I’d tried compression socks, heel inserts, cortisone injections. Finally, about a month ago, I began to be able to walk without excruciating pain! I still feel some discomfort when I walk very far, but nothing like before. The world seems opened to me again. I think time itself has done the most good.
Be thankful for good health and be proactive to maintain it!

“There is no question that white supremacists have infiltrated the ranks of the armed forces. In recent years, violent neo-Nazis and preppy white supremacists alike have been exposed as active-duty members of the military. A Pentagon report last year, obtained by Roll Call, described the inroads that white supremacists were building into the military in an effort to recruit ‘highly prized’ active-duty personnel.”
Our service men and women swear an oath to uphold the Constitution, not a philosophy of hate! Investigate, discharge, and prosecute those who choose racism over country!
