Seems like I am noticing a trend – and not a healthy one. As a whole, our nation is losing the ability to pronounce some words. In fact, people seem to have forgotten some words exist in the English language. Phrases like “thank you,” “thanks so much,” “I appreciate that,” seem to have slid into a dark hole somewhere and vanished.

Faraway country. Poverty stricken area with hard-working citizens, who don’t have much chance to see things change for the better. My hero rides his Honda into their part of his world every day, to deliver help and hope.

Why have customers seemingly become a nuisance to many businesses? Some of their employees are projecting an arrogant attitude of “Excuse me, but you are bothering me.”  

Dads, there is nothing in life that can substitute for time with you. The foundation of your child doesn’t have the strong underpinnings it needs without you. The result of your neglect will likely be a hurting adult. 

Learn the value of deep breathing and attempting to see the other side of the pancake, no matter how thin it is. Then, you can hopefully have discussions instead of explosions. Now…if only I could remember to take my own advice.

For anyone, reading and understanding the title of this column is pretty impossible. The reason is plain: I just closed my eyes and pressed random keys, so it makes absolutely no sense to anyone.

Whether you are one who loves constantly changing styles in clothes and makeup or are just the opposite – be confident in being YOU. Happy Mother’s Day to all the gussied-up moms and the au naturale moms among us.
