It is possible you know.

What I’m asking you to do is just take an inventory of yourself.

Do you express your love to loved ones often enough?

Are you willing to work hard for a worthwhile goal?

Are you as courageous as you need to be?

Are you as compassionate as you need to be?

Do you misuse alcohol or drugs?

Do you forgive when forgiveness is appropriate?

Do you apologize when an apology is appropriate?

Are you loyal?

Are you honest?

Do you keep your promises?

Are you a patriot?

Can you improve in any of the areas listed above?

If not today, when?

There is a phrase that best sums it up; “To carry a grudge.”

So, it is you the offended party who carries the burden we know as a “grudge.”

Don’t carry that weight in your mind or your heart or on your shoulders one minute longer.

Set yourself free by forgiving the other person.

When you forgive, you actually set two people free.

It is sometimes difficult to forgive and apologize, but they are both the keys to setting you free.

A clear conscience is a beautiful feeling!

When you hear the term “muscle memory,” it conjures up images of your muscles being able to memorize certain movements, such as dribbling a soccer ball or playing “Happy Birthday” on the piano.

But while muscle memory is real, that’s not what is actually going on in your body.

What’s more, science says there are two different kinds of muscle memory.

One type, neurological, is tied to the recall of learned activity, while the other form, physiological, is related to the regrowth of actual muscle tissue.

Understanding how both kinds of muscle memory work can help you get off to a strong start if you’re establishing a new fitness routine or rebooting one after a break. (CNN)

Everyone is getting older physically.

But, the important question is; “Are you getting older mentally & emotionally?”

I don’t think any of us would want to die young.

So, how should we approach the aging process?

Too often we don’t use the WISDOM we have accumulated as the years go by.

Hopefully, the WISDOM we’ve built up by living can help us put things in perspective!

And growing old is one of those experiences that must be lived with WISDOM.

How do we grow old with WISDOM?

Simply by living a life full of gratitude for each day.

What is another way to grow old with WISDOM?

By spreading love to the unlovable.

Jesus said; “Love one another as I have loved you.”

Last Saturday, we had a newly born fawn in our backyard.

Last Sunday, we had another newly born fawn in our backyard.

The ritual of a deer’s birth is rather unique.

After mom gives birth, she leaves her baby alone for about 24 hours.

By the time she gives birth, mom is very hungry.

So, she goes off in search of food.

The fawn waits patiently for her return.

When mom is in sight, the fawn pops onto its feet, runs over to her and begins nursing.

After nursing, the fawn begins running all over the yard filled with joy.

Mom looks over at this high flying fawn and asks, “What did I get myself into?”

End of story!

Juneteenth is a federal holiday in the U.S. commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans.

It derives its name from the combination of June and nineteenth.

It celebrates the order by Major General Gordon Granger proclaiming freedom for enslaved people in Texas on June 19, 1865.

It is celebrated with parties, events and quiet reflection on the end of slavery.

Amen!

Raising a child takes 2!

It takes 2 parents to create a child and 2 parents to raise a child.

The role of a father is irreplaceable.

There are millions of single mothers who try to fill both roles.

Where is dad?

I’m talking to dads right now.

I congratulate all those dads who play an active role as a parent.

I plead with those dads who are not active parents:

“Take this wonderful occasion of FATHER’S DAY to become an active parent again!”

Your child or children want your love.

It’s the kind of love only a father can give.

What the world needs now is love, sweet love

It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of

No, not just for some, but for everyone

Lord, we don’t need another mountain

There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb

There are oceans and rivers enough to cross

Enough to last ’til the end of time

What the world needs now is love, sweet love

It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of !

In keeping with his works suddenly appearing in public spaces, the UK street artist Banksy announced just after midnight on Thursday that his first official exhibition in 14 years will open this weekend in Glasgow, Scotland.

The show at the Gallery of Modern Art (Goma) is titled “CUT & RUN: 25 Years Card Labour” and will span the artist’s career, beginning with his earliest works made in the late 1980s to recent pieces made this year.

“Cut & Run” will focus on the stencils the artist uses to create his works, which are often spray painted on walls around the world.

These include on damaged buildings in Ukraine, a car park in Los Angeles, the exterior of an old prison and the interior of a London tube train. The exhibition will also feature the Union Flag stab vest that Banksy made for the pop star Stormzy. (CNN)

I GREATLY ADMIRE CREATIVE PEOPLE WHO CHOOSE TO BE DIFFERENT!

There are many ways you can make the world a BETTER PLACE!

Reaching out to strangers is one way.

Having a cause that is important to you is another.

Is your cause: education, health, religion, climate, homelessness or loneliness?

If so, do something about it.

It’s never too late to make someone’s life better!
