2% Fage plain yogurt.
Kiwi, raspberries, and blueberries.
A great way to start my day.

I'm still struggling with my youngest leaving soon. I've been continuously raising children for 38 years now. She's going off on the grand adventure called "adulthood" and I'm still trying to convince myself she's ready for it.
Ready or not, she's leaving on the 30th.
Exciting times.

Still processing my youngest daughter moving out at the end of the month.
My wife and I will be empty nesters. I've been raising kids for 38 years. I think I'm going to enjoy the quiet once I get used to it.
Much love to you all!

Regardless of what I'm up against, I tell myself that I have gotten through 100%of my worst days.
Some of those days were pretty rough. A few, no doubt, I got through more with luck than determination.
I'm so grateful to so many for so much.
Today is going to be another great day!

If your family has cast you off because of who you are or the choices you've made, I'll be your brother/dad/uncle/grampa. I'm not saying I'll agree with every choice you make, but I can celebrate and love you as a human being regardless of all that.
Everyone deserves love.

Part of getting good at emotional regulation is acknowledging the imperfections & limitations of our emotional regulation skills-- & not shaming ourselves for the fact that our emotional regulation skillset is still developing.
Progress, not perfection. Grace over guilt.

I've got to find a better way to avoid insomnia. I already put the screens down at least 30 minutes prior to going to bed. I take a warm shower. I wear comfortable bed clothes.
Any suggestions for a daily routine that could help?

I've been raising children for 38 years now. My last one just turned 18 in May and is feeling the urge to be "independent" by moving across the country to live with her boyfriend.
I've managed to slow things down a bit so planning can happen. At least I still have a little influence left.

Each and every interaction with another person is a chance to edify, strengthen, and empower another person. These things, even if done in small and simple ways, can have enormous impacts on your life and the lives of those around you.
Remember, we are all star dust.
Be Stellar!

That feeling of relief when a loved one who was about to make a drastically bad decision changes their mind and decides that it's better to be patient and wait for things to mature.
Patience is a virtue
Get it if you can
Seldom found in woman
Never found in man
Have a great day, BlueSky friends!

"He who knows that enough is enough will always have enough" Lao Tsu
We tend to strive for ever greater heights and accomplishment, but many times fail to see and appreciate what we already have done.
Be OK with being OK. It's a good place to be.

So often, we get caught up in our physical experience that we forget that we are spiritual beings. It is through understanding our spiritual nature that we can overcome base concepts like race, ideology, and segregation, among others.
We are all products of the same creation.

So, this goes out to all my Christian brothers and sisters.
The Two Great Commandments are there so that we can easily concentrate on what it is we need to be doing.
Loving.
We need to be loving. Loving towards God. Loving towards our fellow travelers on earth.
That's it.
End of message.

The more I come to understand about the nature of our universe, the more I realize the less I know.
I'm quite sure that soon I'll be fully aware that I know absolutely nothing.
Socrates was about the same age, so I don't feel too bad about it.

We each have within us a master and a student.
As we journey through life, we will meet people to teach and people to learn from.
Be open to the possibilities of each with every person you meet, and you might be amazed at the shared lessons.
Carpe diem, amicus.

What happens is not always your choice. Many times, circumstances are forced upon us.
How you react is entirely your choice, and always will be.
Making rash decisions nearly always results in error. If you're feeling pressed, reflect and consider your options before you act.
Much love to you all!

Then they came for immigrant's rights, and I did not speak out - because I wasn't an immigrant.
Then they came for Muslim's rights, and I did not speak out - because I wasn't Muslim.
When will they come for me?

My whole purpose here is to enhance positivity and peace.
I really enjoy the ability to control the content I see. I don't feel so overwhelmed by petty, nonsensical bickering, and partisan politics.
With the mass exodus from other platforms, it probably won't last, but it's nice while it's here.
