The Non-Post Post

        This is a non-post post.

        Because sometimes it's just appropriate to have a non-post post, and this seems like one of those times.

Two, Little, Almost Insignificant Words

        "Be."

        "You."

        Two, tiny little words, used by millions of people, every single day, and often many times a day.  They are so commonly used, that most people don't even think about what they each mean, apart, nor together.  People tend to just throw them out there in conversation as though they were insignificant, little bridges to communication.

"...I'm not going anywhere."

        A couple of weeks ago, I said I wanted to be braver than I have been, and work on "standing up to be counted."  So... given I happen to have a rather strong force of ethics, I feel I need to start doing things which follow through, toward that goal.

        Here we go.  Pardon me for linking elsewhere more than usual, but I want to make sure that you can have a better perspective on the backdrop of this post, if desired.

A Friend, Indeed

        When I create a post, typically it is founded by something on my mind or heart, the week before.  If I'm not moved by emotion in some way, it is less likely I'll be effective in expressing a point or message in a way I'm satisfied with sharing.  Inasmuch as I've had something significantly on my mind, let's see how this happens, for this week!

Working on Standing Up to Be Counted!

        Some perspective to be added to that expressed all across the 'net in behalf of those who need others to understand.  Not chewing anyone out, nor trying to give tickets to any kind of guilt trip; just trying to do my part to help spread understanding, empathy and compassion to this world.  As usual, I've no idea what will be falling out of my head and into this post, but whatever it will be, I hope someone can benefit from it.

Quick PSA for Readers Connected via Google Friend Connect

A quick, public service announcement for those who follow the blog via Google Friend Connect.  Because, well, it's kinda important.

The Colors of our Lives

        I was going through my post drafts' list here in the catacombs of the history of this blog, and found this one from August of 2014.  I cannot remember to whom I wrote the message, but it might as well have been my future self, at that point, because reading it right now has given me a very surprising reminder of something I think I might have forgotten.  Have a read!
