Let's keep our spirits here UP HIGH and encourage each other with good things.
I know FB and most of FR can be depressing as half truths(just like they do with the Bible) are widely spread. The name calling is sad .. and too many of our folk do the same in retaliation. Luckily we are not face to face or many would be bailing others out of jail!!! :-)
I am now FINALLY reading Trumps book The Art of the Deal. I want to daily (or often ) share a sentence or two.. or paragraph from book. This was written in 1987. He was married to Ivana and seemed very much in love. Funny personal comments along the way .. he writes much like he talks...tthrowing things in along the way.. like going kindergarten shopping with Ivana for Ivanka who was 5! This while he was knee deep in business matters and his wife shows up and insists they must visit this school!
I found the book fascinating as he is now much like then and you can see how he acts and reacts the way he does. Here is today's quote from pages 58 & 59. Subtitle: Fight Back. "Much as it pays to emphasize the positive, there are times when the only choice is confrontation. In most cases I am very easy to get along with. But when people treat me badly or unfairly or try to take advantage of me, my general attitude, all my life, has been to fight back very hard. The risk is that you'll make a bad situation worse, and I certainly don't recommend this approach to everyone. But my experience is that if you;re fighting for something you believe in - even if it means alienating some people along the way - things usually work out for the best in the end."
I want to share a few pix from Sunday where I work at the hotel front desk. Nice environment but very overworked most of time on weekends. Owner is a bit tight and if he can have one person there (me) instead of two, he will do it. Some various pix.. The room shot is the double queen I have had the past couple months (mine however is a bit more cluttered with "LIFE")
The lobby scene is accurate and what I see from my vantage at the front desk. Beyond it is a large breakfast room where a complimentary full hot buttet is served every morning.
I know some of you are male & some female. Some we can tell by screen names but some screen names are smokescreens. That is okay if you want privacy and anonymous separation. It can be a scary world. For me I have found many blessings on line for well over a decade by being more open and getting to know people and meeting as many as possible face to face. The WWW has opened up the long gone days past of PEN PALS into something much richer IMHO.
I've been divorced since 1992 and have had some tremendous significant relationships since and returned some gorgeous diamonds because despite caring deeply, something pertinent was missing... or in some cases something very wrong was present.
. After a difficult(understatement) marriage I found that being alone was superior to being with the wrong person again. So I am overly careful.
Currently have about 5 male friends that I do various things with.. biking, kayaking, photo shoots , gun shoots, movies, dinner etc. All have them have been in my life for 10 or more years.. two of them since school days. I tend to be loyal and vice versa kicks in. Three of these men were ring givers and are content to have a relationship with the boundaries I desire. Win/win?
Going to movie(Batman/Superman) and dinner with one of these later.
Well a little bit about me to get to know me better. I hope in time ahead to meet many of your personally.. And maybe Cotton Ball, when I trek down to see my son in NC, I can stop by and we can have lunch in your area in Tenn.. or even meet in Boone? Ill be coming down 77 towards Winston-Salem & will only be having a couple days for all in April/May time frame.
Well lets all keep the faith. Do our best to present DJT in a respectful way and to come here forrecharging.
Later... .Hugs/love from Ohio
