My Grandboy the Movie Star!

Keiran stars in a national commercial honoring veterans, earning $100 and scoring some tasty snacks. The shoot hits a snag when the little girl he's acting with proves uncooperative, casting doubt on whether any usable footage was captured. Despite this setback, the experience was a delightful getaway for the whole family, and Keiran walks away with plenty of snack shack money.

Struggling to Keep Up with Daily Blogging!

Already feeling like a failure, I had hoped to blog every day, but it's only January 21 and I'm already falling behind. It turns out, expressing your thoughts and documenting daily events is not as simple as it seems. I did have a few memorable "Dennisisms," but they were probably too Tacky to share anyway! LOL

I often find that the people complaining about you,

 are the same ones that can’t seem to pay their bill on time! 

It doesn’t have to cost a lot

Discovering a long-forgotten treasure while tidying up my craft room - a picture frame Dennis bought for me for Valentine's Day, almost two decades ago. He had carefully included a photo of "us," (this drawing) which I've cherished since then, unable to bring myself to replace it. The sentimental value of this thoughtful gift remains unmatched!

 

It's Not Just About You.

Don't you find posts like this frustrating and self-serving? It's puzzling why people feel the need to put them out there. Maybe they're seeking attention? Lately, I've seen countless posts like this across social media platforms, especially since the new year. It's a type of cleansing technique that some people use to convince themselves that they deserve undivided attention. But here's the thing: you should know your worth without seeking validation from others!

Sure, one can understand the message about the challenges of one-sided relationships. However, there's often more to the story as to why your friends aren't constantly blowing up your phone. Sometimes they're dealing with serious issues like anxiety, depression, or introversion. And let's not forget the impact of Covid-19, which has made many people content with staying home. Others may be swamped with work, building a career, or dealing with their own family responsibilities. Perhaps they're new grandparents investing extra time in their grandkids, or they're caring for elderly parents. Some are trying to navigate the difficult balance of work and starting a family, and there are those who simply can't afford to socialize.

Before we rush to cut people out of our lives based on how they make us feel, we need to remember that it's not always about us. We may not have a clue about the hardships others are currently facing.
