Linda 9/27/21

Today, I feel as if I can’t be as much help as I would like to be, and yet, I still try to be of service to others. The Freemasons teach that the way to change society is to model the behaviors we wish to see in others. As a Mason, I return to this lesson on occasion. Maybe, just maybe, my empathetic friends can change our world.

Remembering 6/9/21

It was such a trivial little conversation, but apparently, she remembered me. This is really a surprise to be honest, and a pleasant one at that. It serves as a reminder that, honestly, we never know how we touch other people’s lives.

Valentine’s Day Plea 2/13/21

Tomorrow’s post will be something about Valentine’s Day and love and all of that…stuff, I guess, and I hope you’ll forgive me for this one. Valentine’s Day is just tough on single people, like the display toilets in a home improvement store is to a man with diarrhea.

Kindness of Strangers 11/21/20

you never know whose day you will make just through what should be common courtesy.

A Date 7/26/20

I get to the restaurant when I see her. Set up with a folding table and chair, she is sitting at the side of the restaurant with some kind of display. I ask what she’s selling (and secretly hoping it was girl scout cookies)

A Little Nobody 5/28/20

Yes, that’s me. I’m nobody. I was born a nobody, I lived life as a nobody, I have always been a nobody, I am still a nobody and no doubt, I will die a nobody.

My New Girlfriend 5/27/20

I heard the absolute cutest, tiniest sweetest little voice say “hi.” I looked around, seeing nothing

Sylvester 5/23/20

there, crossing this little road leading to my light, I see an older man (not elderly, but not young) carrying half a dozen loaded bags.

Students 3/12/20

imagine how I feel when students do show appreciation.

One Family 6/19/19

I agree with the quote (often attributed to Einstein) that I would rather be an optimist and a fool than a pessimist and right.
