    That John C. Reilly clip felt too clean

    This is a beautiful share, thank you. I find your writing so personal and relatable at the same time. I have to try really hard to write like this; if i don’t it just comes out super theoretical. I’m afraid it comes across as arrogant as well, like I know better....

    I've been trying to find people who are willing to talk long enough to figure out where we all agree. Also, to discover why we believe so differently by finding the similarities.

    Yes, you are right. If each of us helps out others just a little bit, it makes the world a bit more tolerable. If a person who is helped, helps another, those ripples of kindness spread out to create a bit more positive...

  • ↳onHi! A little about me. I'm a Wisconsinite. I am in my first year of retirement from teaching. I feel I have had lots of different experiences both in school and out of school. I am a cardiac arrest survivor from ventricular fibrillation  and had an 80% blockage angioplastied. Last year I had my first battery replacement. I am married and my husband has 1 year of retirement  in. We have 2 adult sons. The oldest is married and is a step dad. The youngest is not married yet. My parents are deceased and I have no siblings. My life has been a rollercoaster of ups and downs, right from my birth. I enjoy camping, gardening (though I am not a green thumb), family and my Chihuahua/ beagle, Snoopy. I am a person full of life experience contrast, one beingcontrasts such as being spiritual yet not church going. I hope  my experiences can help others. 😀byMMinnie

    Hi! You are right that people should talk and listen to eachother more. This way we find out we have more similarities than differences. Now-a-days many people are afraid to express an opinion for fear of being ridiculed, hated, or hurt by people who think their opinion is right...
