Life is at our feet, let’s walk gently.  I’ll be back tomorrow, with more thanksgiving!  

HEROES of HOPE; 5k/10k race for research of brain tumors and cancer research at Dockweiler State Beach, Playa del Rey, Ca., November 12, 2023 HERO: N, A mythological or legendary figure often of divine descent endowed with great strength or ability; An illustrious warrior A person admired for achievements and noble qualities One who shows great courage This is a dictionary’s defining of the word HERO; I’d like to add a few more words to this. I think every word defined here is accurate, but also the effort of surviving in a task of life, suffering defeats one by one, but still winning the race, the race of this wonderful…

Dialogue; v.  take part in a conversation or discussion to resolve a problem... Monologue; n.   a long, tedious speech by one person during a conversation… Very interesting definitions between these two words; I think that we see them quite a bit, and sometimes they can happen in the same conversation.  I find dialogue to be something very stimulating, interesting, and even educational.  It can be very helpful when a situation arises, and when two (or more) people converse, most of the time different ideas come from different people, and then the dialogue becomes essential to come to the best solution of that conversation.  It would be nice if we could all resort to that…

It seems like just last week that I had the surgery, but 5 weeks later, this new hip is the real deal!  Literally, after each week, the significant progress is amazing.  I say that, because after the first hip replacement, (left hip), I know that I said the same thing, but the technology took a big step forward in the last year and a half.

“In the same way, the tongue is a small member and yet has great pretensions.  Consider how a small fire can set a huge forest ablaze, the tongue is also a fire.”  James 3: 5-6 When I read this scripture, it was so relative to the actions of today; it calls out today’s word of hatred, anger, hostility, and much, much more.  I say this, not to anger any of those who read this, on any of my feelings, but to really think about words.  Think about what they mean, what the intent about saying those words really mean, think about the soul that says these words.
