I have an outrageous personality. I am a friendly person and believe in the golden rule that you should treat others as you would have them treat you. My various hobbies include cooking, eating healthy, exercising, running, writing and acting. I am an avid reader. I do not have any time to spend with negative people nor will I allow their negative energy to affect or drain my life energy let alone bring me down. I strongly believe in positive energy and use that to my fullest advantage. Love is all we have. There is no such thing as a dumb question except the ones that you do not find yourself asking. Never be afraid to ask questions no matter what scenario you may happen to find yourself in and never let anyone try and intimidate you into keeping quiet if you have something to say. I have discovered that some of the employers in the State of Illinois are like that. It is their insecurity and not yours. No matter. Let it roll off your shoulders and keep moving forward. Don't let it get you down. I love staying close to home when I am not working. I don't really have much of a social life outside of this Facebook gig and I am okay with that. I'm not a real big fan when it comes to bowing to peer pressure or pleasing people anymore. Thank God. I do thank God for all of my blessings and all His tender mercies each and every day that He continues to allow me to breathe. I am grateful and thankful morning, noon and night to Him and will not stop singing His praises until He calls me home to live with Him forever in eternity. In the Book of Psalms, David always sang His praises to the Lord. I have learned over the course of my life that if someone shows you meanness, return it with loving kindness and keep them in your prayers. They may have just been having a bad day. You never know what that person may have been thinking or going through. Don't let that affect your attitude. Just smile, dust your boots off and move on. Love and forgive others like Jesus Christ did for us. I have many, many good memories from the friends I made growing up during my school years from John B. Wright to Kellond to Fickett and then on to Palo Verde. The final scene of the film Ferris Bueller's Day Off comes to mind, when Ferris (played by Actor Matthew Broderick) shares with the viewing audience, "life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop to look around you could miss it." Now I relish in the memories of yesterday, today and what lies ahead. Each and every one of you have been a blessing in my life in one form or another. I love all of you and I thank God and am humbly honored that each one of you would call me your friend. My wish to all of you is that God continues to richly bless each and every one of your lives. All of you deserve it.
