This is a silly and cute holiday that mostly serves as a means to teach children about the seasons and weather. Aside from the fact that a really great movie is derived from this day, I don’t think there’s much else to say about it. So…
Happy Groundhog’s Day and I wonder if Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow today?

It’s not so much the man I admire as it is what he stood for. History has proven, time and again that heroes and the ones placed high on pedestals, are often the ones to fall hard from their elevated status, in one way or another. I’m sometimes saddened by how people’s opinions and, even, their actions are so wrapped around the perceived character of a public figure. I, however, choose to follow ideals and principles that matter to me and don’t put all my hopes in the character of another.
Veering away from that tangent, I’d like to praise MLK for the symbol of peace and equality he is. Though we have come a long way, we still have so much further to go. Thanks to people like MLK we now live in a world where people have to think twice about how they treat others different from themselves. My hope is that one day no one will have to think about their actions because everyone will finally embrace the ideals of equality at their very core- perhaps people will be born colorblind and have an appreciation for humanity never before experienced in history.
Like MLK before me, I have a dream and hope that one day, World Harmony, will become a reality.

I would like to invite you to share a good-bye, something you’re grateful for, and a hope or want for the near or far future.
So many people have come and gone into this world in the past year. For me, I personally lost a sister-in-law. She and I weren’t as close as I would have liked, but we were pretty close. She was the first of my in-laws to accept me for who I was, no questions asked. I will miss her greatly.
I’m gratefully for the many blessing I’ve received throughout year, especially during my selfish moments when I was so undeserving of such blessings. I’m grateful to be the person my Lord created me to be, even when other don’t understand me.
Like so many others, I hoe for better heath and a overal improvement of life. Most of all, I hope to be able to remember my blessings and experience more happiness than sadness in the year to come.
Be safe this holiday and be blessed throughout the year.
