A Most Important Day to Remember
A Most Important Day to Remember
The most important day of the year is different for everyone. Christmas brings joy to many, including whole families as they come together, or it could be Thanksgiving. Birthdays are great for kids, everyday is great for babies, dads are way down the list and moms, well they get one day and it is Mother’s Day. Mothers are making all the other days of the year special for whomever or whatever is needed. It’s usually not the dads making the birthdays great. The mom knows what kind of cake to bake, gift to get or party to plan. Moms just know how to make that day, that import day, special. It’s the mom that cleans up afterwards. The mom gives the cheer when all seems to go wrong. It’s mom that know exactly when to hug and when to give advice (and in the most appropriate way.) Mom is always there and ready to be whatever she needs to be, everyday. We give her one day, Mother’s Day. She knows what to expect and expects nothing. Mother’s Day is the best day of the year, for mothers. It will be this Sunday and if you missed it, you will know. Do your best to make it important for your mother, she only gets one day, make it special as she would for you. And now to be clear. Mother is the biological female who gave birth to you, or the woman who raised you. Let’s keep it simple, figure out who birthed you, raised you and can still tell you what to do even though you are the president of the company and all grown up. That’s mom. 05/10/2023 11:00 PM

I think that most people enjoy reading short articles at a glance. The proof is in the way we skim the internet and social media. If only there was something of merit on it. 05/04/2023 04:00 AM

You Make the Choice
You Make the Choice
Elections are the hallmark of democracy. Without elections, we have a dictatorship. Elections require people to vote. Sometimes it can be a little bit of a pain to go vote. There could be a line, the machines may not be working properly, or there just isn’t a motivation to go and cast a vote. None the less it is a great privilege we have, currently, to be able to vote. The more votes that are cast the more accountably there is for the officials to actually do the job they were elected for. A democracy which is truly be effective is where all of the (eligible) people cast their vote. The fewer the votes, the less of a democratic solution. The democratic process includes options for which to vote. There is basically two parties and the parties choose (in various ways) their candidates, often by way of debates. Oh, now, it looks like no one wants to debate. The art of debate has become extinct. 04/27/2023 04:00 AM
