Kindness

Of course I turned into a puddle of tears when I saw that President Biden visited Minnesota State Rep John Hoffman and his family in the hospital.  Then the picture of him kneeling at the memorial for the Hortmans.  Joe Biden is a good man.  Say what you want to say about him, but he's a good human and god bless him for just showing up as Joe.  He doesn't make grand declarations, he just shows up.

I love the video of him when he met with the Parkland family survivors and the young boy with Kawasaki syndrome ran up to him for a hug.  Or how he comforted Meghan McCain over her father's brain cancer.  Meghan McCain sucks, by the way.  

Kindness isn't a weakness.  It's a strength and people should appreciate it more in life and they don't.  It's about stepping on others and getting ahead.  Me me me.  It bothers me more that people think Trump's behavior is ok because it doesn't affect their lives.  It may. Stay tuned!  

I always dislike it when someone brags about their good deeds.  Show me, don't tell me.  Actions speak louder than words.  Show up instead of making promises you're not going to keep.

I miss Joe Biden. I feel kindness died on November 5th 2024

The Dark Things

I sometimes wonder about this when I'm in a brooding mood about how I got treated at a low time in my life.  Or lowest. Would people have been relieved if I just died?   Really.  I have thought the answer was yes.  I'm not talking about my family. I am talking about those who made their discomfort known to me.   They could have had some fake ceremony and a moment of silence.  There wouldn't have been a funeral so they could have forgotten about that part.  They would have excelled at pretending to care about my life if I wasn't here. Then, I had to go do something stupid and survive.  How do we deal with that?  My mentor even mentioned to me, well, you know, none of us have dealt with someone being sick.  Oh, should I get a fucking manual for that?  Excuse the F bomb but that was warranted. When I got my schedule for radiation therapy, I had wanted to talk to my manager about it and find out if it was ok.  I had gotte...

Blue Evening

We took a drive to see a place in Bay View. I was kind of familiar with the address, but I wasn't sure. I found it.  It was not great. According to my Ring alerts, it's near an area with crime.  It was in our price range. I just can't seem to shake this funk I'm in.

Know Who You Are

 I am struggling a bit with a new work assignment. I've bounced around to working with new groups since the pandemic and it's been alright, but it's been a little difficult with balancing when I just feel off with how much I"m doing.  I have my mojo somedays and somedays I don't know why I gout out of bed.  Today was that day. I got shamed by a mistake.  It wasn't that the person called me, they copied a few people to let me know I. AM. STUPID.  And no, I don't take it personal. It comes with the territory when it comes to the work that I do.  I like being behind the scenes and assisting but it seems to be that my kind can feel the wrath of when things go wrong.  Or sometimes all that we juggle is not enough.  We are the recipient of a bad day if someone has a fight with a spouse or a child and get told, it's better it happened to you than their family member.  Lucky me. Glad I'm not a family member. The worst came with someone who I reported...
