I don’t think this has anything to do with this weekend. Or, Rik and I both missed something.

I think everyone should be who they are and believe whatever works for them as long as they are not hurting others. It is no ones place to judge. I guess that right along with my core believe in empathy and my favorite quote explains why I am a social worker.

You are who you are; do what you do. I guess I missed more this weekend than I knew.

Love to you and Pops!

Comment on The Block Guardian by Meg

I am happy to say that my mail lady drives up with a smile everyday, however I think it is Duke that is our guardian. (you know the gentleman in the circle in the wheel chair) He seems to know everything going on and is always friendly and eager to chat. I think he is happiest when all the kids are in the circle and he can help pump up a tire or just come out for a visit.

We know most of our neighbors but I think that is due to hanging out in the circle with the kids or due to having to retrive a stray ball. So, Duke is the guardian, but I’m pretty sure the neighborhood kids are the angels.

Something’s been lost in the modern blocks of mail boxes that have made mail delivery more efficient. I couldn’t tell you what our mail man looks like, let alone what his name is.

Well those are images and monsters that both my mother and I have fought over the years. I am working hard to accept myself as I am and to be happy with the body I am part of:). I hope my mother gets to the point where you are,but as of now she still chases the dream and all those stereotypes and media messages we are given because she has lived that same discrimination. Thank you for this blog .

Well, you’re definitely funny. You get no points for selfish or not very bright, though.

Healthy’s a good goal. I’m still working on it my own self. At least I don’t have all that female body image crap to go with it. TV says it’s perfectly OK to be a fat dude, especially if you’re selfish, not very bright, and funny.

I have recently ventured into cooking myself and really like it. I am (or trying to) switch from buying all the prepackaged things to fresh things. Some have been a hit, others not so much, but the kids are learning some great lessons in how to tell mom they don’t like it without hurting my feelings. I also got a great cookbook from Jeannene (sp) for Christmas.

Good Luck in your new adventure. I hope you are liking it as much as Rik and I are (the kids are no so sure how they feel about it ).

No, I will never give up that beloved diner. I’ve been known to show up there three or four times in one week! It’s like that place where “everybody knows your name” except in this case everybody knows to bring me “the usual.” I love that.

Wow. Cooking is an art I’ve always wanted to want to learn, but it’s never quite stuck. Does this mean your pals at the local diner will be wondering what ever became of you?
