Good morning my DU family

[JMCKUSICK]

May your day be blessed with opportunities to be thankful for the gifts we've been given along with the recognition that we have been spared our worst fears coming to fruition.
Stormy nights will quite often lead to exquisitely beautiful mornings. Have a soul feeding day.

1. Thank you, beautiful thoughts, and I need all I can get right now

2. Without prying, one of the hardest

Things if had to try and learn is to trust my miracles to happen. Specifically, so many procedures in the hospital and the fears that I brought with me conflicted with trusting a process that allowed for a smooth experience. I.e. trusting a phlebotomist to draw my blood with minimal pain even though they'd already done it several times before.
I know that's a severe oversimplification but I have to learn to really trust experts in their expertise.
May your faith and ability to trust assist you during your challenges.

3. I agree I put my faith in the expertise of people who have worked hard to get where they are

I have a lot of admiration for technicians who know their job. And I really think that’s the majority of the people, my faith waivers sometimes, but I haven’t given up.

12. Please know it is with immense pleasure

And gratitude that I will send my prayers and energies to help in whatever way you need it.

10. Drawing inspiration from nature.Today's sunrise. It only lasted a minute or two.

Mother Nature always works at full tilt, and with no hint or desire for recompense.

We humans fall short, and fail to lead when leadership is needed. So, if you want the dark lining to those lovely clouds, look here:

We need to take a 2 by 4 to the heads of the party, reminding them of those who left the comfort zone and fought for justice.

It's whether we and they draw inspiration from dappled and exquisite nature and a dream of what can and should be, or a lengthy perusal of the "Book of This is How We Always Did It"

Choose Inspiration. And action.

I woke up, hastily threw on some shoes and a winter jacket and got that sunrise.
In photography, you get off your ass and get the picture.
It doesn't come to you, unless you like that AI-generated nonsense.

In life, you get off your ass and fight for justice.

11. Thank you Usonian

What a beautiful photo that perfectly exemplifies my post and then you added such an eloquent, inspired call to action that should stand as it's own post.
Brilliant!
I am going to my first County Dems meeting Monday.
