Monday Updates

-
Here are a few updates on this crazy Monday...

1. Football: Even though a bunch of my Fantasy Football players did very poorly (again) this week, looks like I'll have enough points to win my match up (finally!) thanks to a brilliant Philadelphia Eagles defensive performance.

2. Weight Loss: Although the total number of pounds lost per week continues to decrease, overall I'm still doing well -- total weight loss now in a total of 4 weeks is 12.25 pounds.

3. Desk Mess: Have not cleaned my desk... but did remove a few things (i.e., Claire's socks, the locks, the cans and cups, etc...) so at least now there is just 'desk clutter' and not so many other things!

4. Baseball: Have enjoyed watching the Detroit Tigers make their way into the ALCS. Hopefully they can do well against the Oakland As... Watched my brother's YouTube 'Bless You Boys' video... felt like I was in eighth grade all over again.

Hope your week is off to a great start!

Way to go on sticking with your healthy eating! We'll be thinking of you and all of our dear friends there with you as we go see Caedmon's call. (Did I spell that right?) I'm still so impressed you even know how to play fantasy football! ;-)

On Compassion

-
The tension has really ratcheted up in the last couple of weeks.     It seems like people are on edge. Extra nervous.     Almost on the verge of panicking. Is it COVID? Is it the election? Is it the constant uncertainty that we’ve all been under for months and months and months… and months?     So many of us thought that SURELY by the holidays we would have returned to ANY KIND of normal – old normal, new normal, abnormal… something.     But no.     Here we are.     It’s in this unsettled state of existence that my heart has started hurting.  It’s started hurting so much for all the broken people out there.  Yes, there’s been a lot of breaking going on.  Broken hearts, broken lives, you name it, things are breaking.  And there is pain and suffering going on.  And people who are broken need to be seen and heard and understood.   I think what’s needed most right now is some g...

On Thanksgiving

-
I read an article this afternoon titled, “You have permission to not be thankful this Thanksgiving”.     The author’s point was that no one should have to force themselves to be grateful just because a date on the calendar prescribes that we should be thankful.     She even brought in to her argument the fact that “the original Thanksgiving” (think Pilgrims and Native Americans) was a horrible affair sans turkey or any feelings of thanks or of giving or of compassion and humanity.     True enough, I suppose. I would never argue that someone should be forced to be thankful.     I would never say that someone should be compelled to give thanks for things that they don’t have or for things which have been ripped from their grasp.     Forced joy is not joy.     I get that.   However, if I’m going to argue about anything, I would choose to argue passionately about one thing in this regard.  And here's the reason:   I ...

Thoughts on Election Day

-
                It’s election day here in America.     A day of red, white, and blue.     Many people have already cast their vote, but others are waiting in lines at polling places, eager to fulfill their civic duty. It’s a day that’s supposed to be a celebration of democracy.     It’s supposed to be a day when we exercise our right to choose leadership for our country that will represent us and help to guarantee that our voices are heard.     It is a day that women and people of color have fought for the right to participate in.     Fought for the right to be included.     It’s a day that’s supposed to bring us together in unity as a nation with hope for a future that will bring us the promises our forefathers, white, male and slave owners they may have been, founded this nation to bring to reality.                ...
