A Few Words on Courage
By a show of hands, how many of you have read Profiles in Courage by John Fitzgerald Kennedy? Don’t worry, I’ll wait…
For those who
haven’t, give it a shot. I find this book especially relevant in today’s climate
of social change as a reminder of what it takes to be courageous in the face of
adversity, regardless of the issue at hand. Be it an issue of politics, morality,
or inequality, this book serves as a go-to reference for those who have
gone before and illustrates how a few men faced down adversity or come face to
face with their own personal failings.
Quotes to ponder: Will Rogers
~ Gotta love Will Rogers ~
“There are three kinds of men. The ones that learn by readin’. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves.” – Will Rogers

Reflections: Hope
I'm not sure where I heard this, but the quote stays with me, especially in times of uncertainty. The following was written on January 1, 2020. I wrote it for my mother who had a premonition that 2020 would not bode well. I re-post it here not because the words are prophetic, but because I still have hope.
"As the sun rises on the dawn of a brand new year I am struck by many thoughts. The most prominent one is of hope. Hope for the preservation of our nation. Hope in us turning more toward God for guidance. Hope that the decency man has for his fellow man will be abundant. Hope that our tomorrow's will be better than our yesterday's. Hope that we recognize our blessings and appreciate the beauty in all things. Hope that when called upon we will be at our best, especially in the face of adversity. Hope that the greatest gifts God gave us, a cognitive reasoning brain and free will, will be fully utilized to help us stand together for what is right and evenly measured. It is my hope that these mere wishes are attainable goals that will see us through to the next year and the years beyond. Happy New Year!"
Love to all.
