Good morning my DU family,

Sometimes I have to remember that each of us is a recipe that requires certain ingredients in order to be done well.
Please make sure you have your ingredients well stocked so that your day is a wonderful concoction.
Love, John

What is your favorite "Potato" option at any fast food restaurant?

In honor of debm55 questions of this style.

My favorite, hands down is Potato Cakes from Arby's. Onion Rings from Burger King a distant second.

Good morning my DU family,

Please remind me to slow down enough to look them in the eye, take the time to shake their hand, and use their name.
Love, John

Good morning my DU family,

Wow, I just had the best night's sleep since my heart surgery.
Observing that big Bumblebee yesterday at the cemetery reminded me of a simple truth. How I do things when no one is watching defines who I really am. May your best efforts come while alone today.
Love, John

Earth day at the cemetery

As I sat down and prayed thanks for our special place, Cuddles and I got to enjoy a big fat Bumblebee gradually perusing her choice of delicacies to pollinate.
It reminded me of how critical all bees are not just to our survival as humans, but to the annual revival that all forms of life experience in the spring of every year
To have sat on this very bench days before my heart surgery, everything so barren and brown, to be in full color only two months later, makes me feel like I was destined to to experience my own re-pollination through medicine.
With the built in delays of SSDI, my back getting seemingly worse again by the day, it is really hard many days to feel that inspiration, much less to be moved into action by it.
I'm trying, and I only write this to remind all of us that we all have those personal opportunities for re-pollination as well as the challenges that come from the duties it imposes on us.
On this Earth Day, let us be reborn to honor her, those around us, and life itself.
Love, John

Good morning my DU family,

Good morning my DU family,

Be proud of what you've done, be daring in what you're doing, and embrace the opportunity to do as yet unknown amazing things tomorrow.
Love, John

Good morning my DU family,

Happy Easter to those who celebrate.
Let this day serve as a reminder of and the opportunity to be reborn in our efforts. Whether through mistakes, lifestyle choices, or career or social options, we have the ability to change the direction of our lives. Let's celebrate that!
Love, John

Good morning my DU family,

Before I go on with the Good morning part, wordstroken pointed out that Emile's additions were really nice visuals etc....
If you have your own wish for others, please feel free to add and we can make this post a place that people can enjoy from many posters, not just one. I got one treasure positive reinforcement that your messages offer, but add your kind wish from your perspective too.

I hope this day fosters a greater sense of community, a safer place within that community, and a courageous voice to add to our community. (Not just DU).
Love, John
