Grief Exhaustion
One of the things we don’t talk about enough publicly, regularly, is the physical taxation of grief. And no, I’m not talking about my emotions or the exhaustion from crying or whatever. My body is literally tired. My muscles are sore, and I feel like I should be taking an NSAID or something. It hurts…

Kevin Samuels and the Silly Need for Happy
I didn’t like Kevin Samuels 80% of the time cuz he was a bully. However, he was RIGHT AS RAIN IN THE SPRING on this one. A lady once asked (regarding marriage), “Am I just supposed to be miserable?” He replied, “You’re supposed to be an adult.” Marriage ain’t “happily ever ever.” It is a…

I answered a prompt cuz I’m bored

Sow Peace; Reap Righteousness
I sow peace. So I can reap peace. I’d rather apologize to someone who is wrong than win a fight. I’d rather give you what you want than fight for my own selfish gains. I’d rather watch, pray, and give you a WIDE BERTH and a LONG-HANDLED SPOON than try to get you to see…
