Every year - you can find out that another important thing from your past is closing down / shutting down / being replaced. This can really be extremely depressing. For me = my grammer school, high school and university have closed, changed or merged into something else. They no longer exist. My favorite local donut shop closed after 40 years of excellent service. They even won an award for their donuts. Now they are gone. I used to love going to the famous Disney World i

With all the troubles that can weigh you down - it's hard to keep a positive attitude = problems at home, troubles at work, bills, car notes, debt, etc... The one thing that you need to remember is = keep your needs simple. What do you really need to be happy? Sometimes all you really need is a BANANA = just like a minion = one little thing can make a difference in your day = put a smile on your face = make you feel better. For me, I have a few things that I fall back on w

In the past = if you bought a fancy mug - that cost an hour's worth of your wages = you had something that would last at least till the end of the year. Not anymore!

I'm talking about using the mug regularly and seeing the mug chip and crack after only a few days. It's like buying a new purse or bag = spending a day's worth of your paycheck

These days even simple orders are coming out wrong. It is very frustrating. I'm someone who loves HAMBURGERS. I think that a hamburger is a simple meal that should not require a rocket scientist to fix. However, I find that it is 50/50 obtaining this simple meal corrrectly at a restaurant. I like it without cheese. Which is why I say - "Hamburger!" If I wanted a cheeseburger = I would have said = cheeseburger! If they can't get something simple like a hamburger correct,

My mother brought up an interesting concept = whenever we have a diverse population at an event - we seem to have incidents of conflict and unrest. The less diverse a group is the more likely that group will work together as a unit. Why do we have issues so much with differences? We can't seem to handle diversity no matter how much we preach it on social media or to the next generation. It is a sad fact but each generation proves that it can't handle diversity. Unity seems
