No More Racism

I'll be blunt & to be honest, I'm not going to be politically correct, as people get carried away to the point of nonsense when it comes to political correctness...

I'm tired, so tired of hearing about racism. Of course I don't want to think that in this day & age, racism & discrimination still exists, but we all know that it does. Still, I'm tired of hearing about it! Before I'm accused of being insensitive, please bear with me.

What I've Learned From My Pets

From Pepsy

When I was eleven years old, my parents gave me a fluffy bundle of cute for my birthday. I named my new puppy Pepsy. What I've learned from that wonderful little dog in the 15 years I was blessed to be able to have her in my life is:

• Give a puppy a bed & some snuggling, & they'll give you a lifetime of hugs
• Teach a dog to say she's sorry, & you'll be the one feeling bad when she wraps her legs around your neck & presses her face to yours, as she's trying to say "please don't be mad at me; I didn't mean to go potty on the carpet"
• A dog can catch another animal for sport, & not kill it, but instead let it go. Humans can learn a lot from that.
• Don't catch a frog with your mouth, unless you want a foamy mouth.
• Going to the vet, like going to the doctor, is unpleasant, yet necessary.
• Who cares what others think about how you look, when YOU know you're fabulous!
• It doesn't matter if you're little - you can still make your voice heard.
• When you want something badly enough, jump high until you get it!

Stop Taking Offense Already!!!

We live in a litigious society, where people are bringing about lawsuits, from the most trivial of perceived offenses to the most extreme. Once upon a time, a lawsuit was a last resort measure taken when all other attempts to resolve disputes have failed. Today, one simply has to be offended at something that someone said, & then out come the "victims", sure they have been grievously wronged, & the only way that there can be any measure of recompense, is if the "wronged" party is rewarded for their victim status in either a court of law, or a court of public opinion.

Enough Already!!!

What once was right, is now what's wrong,
And what was wrong, is right.
And those who love God must try to stay strong,
For freedom of religion is no longer their right.

For if they practice their faith & hold true to their heart
They are labeled as bigots, & set far apart.
Set apart from the mainstream, whose direction flows with the tide...
Whichever direction the tide flows, that's the direction they ride.
