Don’t praise and follow someone who promotes hatred, racism, misogyny, transphobia, homophobia, etc. Instead, respect and admire those who make this country a better place.

Memorial Day
We proudly remember you. We can never repay, but we will ever respect, those who gave their lives for our freedom. Today is a day to remember our fallen service members for their ultimate sacrifice. Today and together, we proudly pay homage to those who have given up their lives to protect our freedom.
I saw something this morning that made me laugh out loud! It was a post describing a man who looked at first to be MAGA but his shirt read:
“Some gave all, one had bone spurs.”

Emotions and Memories at Christmas Time
I want to share with you something a friend of mine wrote and posted on Facebook. It’s something that really resonated with me. Holidays are a lonely and somewhat sad time for me and for my dad. I don’t expect things to be the same as they used to be but it’s sad that things are not what I had envisioned for us. Anyway, be thoughtful and kind to people during the holidays.
*******************
This time of year can be a whirlwind of emotions. For some, it’s a season of joy—family gathered together, no empty chairs, laughter filling the air, and the ability to give generously. For others, it’s a season marked by change, loss, or longing.
Maybe you’ve lost someone you love, and their absence feels heavier during these days. Perhaps a relationship you cherished has ended, or your children are grown and celebrating miles away. Life has a way of throwing us twists and turns, and Christmas often becomes a time when we feel the weight of what *used to be.*
It’s funny how we mark our lives with these memories—those magical Christmas mornings with little feet running to the tree or the quiet nights when everything just felt *right*. And while life changes, those memories remain. They remind us of love, of joy, of the beauty in what we’ve had and, hopefully, what is still to come.
If this Christmas looks different for you, know this: you are not alone. Whether your heart is full or a little heavy, take a moment to breathe, to reflect, and to hold onto the hope that brighter days are ahead.
Sending love to each of you this holiday season. May we all find a moment of peace, no matter where life has taken us.
“Christmas isn’t just a season; it’s a mirror that reflects both the joy we hold and the love we miss, reminding us to cherish the moment we’re in while carrying hope for what’s to come.”
*******************
Merry Christmas, friends!

Sarcasm Here, Eye Roll There
Here’s a little quote I shared on social media this morning:
After I read the quote, I reread it. Then I realized that me being ‘nice’ about things when someone continually pushed my buttons and pissed me off, got me nowhere. Instead of calling that person out, and for the sake of being nice, I let it fester inside until it had nowhere to go except OUT! When it did come out, it was a little at a time. Sarcasm here, eye roll there. A little dig here and a little dig there.
In the end, there I was finding out that I was being judged all along by someone who didn’t have their shit together any better than I did! So, if I have to be a bitch now to protect my inner peace, you bet that’s what I will be!
Amid financial woes, health issues, and the daily stresses of life, I still feel more at peace now. I’m a good person, but that doesn’t mean that I have to be nice all the time! No more build-up of frustration and feeling unworthy. People can judge me based on their perception of my disability, or my life but I don’t have to be nice about it!

Have you ever felt completely judged by someone you least expected it from? Life is too damn short to put up with that crap.
I always say… Those who judge others are hiding skeletons in their own closets.
Do you have any favorite quotes about judgmental people? Here are a few of mine:
I hope you’re having a great week, friends!
