Don't you worry 'bout a thing

Dear Reader,

Don't worry about a thing! Life is wonderful! Ok, so today I was watching "Hitch," the Will Smith-Comedy in which he plays a secret match-maker in New York City. The song title for the day comes from that movie. It really is a good movie. I was watching with some coworkers right after talking to them about marriage. Don't worry, I'm not getting married anytime soon. We were discussing different ways to propose and different things to avoid when planning a wedding. Final conclusion: I'm going to wear my purple tie at my wedding. Haha, we have so much fun.

It was a fun day with my coworkers. We went to Seven Peaks water park this morning and had a wonderful day in the water. I got a great sunburn. :) I have to shout out to Shannon and Kyle for being so awesome today.

When we actually got to work, my coworker and I started talking about chick-flicks and relationships. She has a wonderful outlook on getting married and it is understandable why she is not married yet. It has nothing to do with having the chances to get married, she just knows the caliber of man she wants to form a family with and she hasn't found a guy of that caliber yet. She gave me several good insights to better communicate with women. It was wonderful.

She also showed us a wonderful motivational video which I want to highlight here today. The main line of the video was, "You will be successful when you want to be successful more than you want to sleep. You will be successful when you you want to be successful more than wanting to breath." It was a motivational video that achieved its goal in helping me want to be more successful in life. I want to be successful spiritually and emotionally. I want to be successful financially and intellectually.

How true is it that we get distracted by lots of things that have nothing to do with what we really want. We can be successful people when we decide to work for what we want instead of partying all the time or trying to be popular. I will say right now: I want to be successful in my schooling and my relationships that will help me become a good husband/father. I want to be successful as a disciple of Christ. I want it more than I want to sleep. I want to prove that as well.

With that in mind, don't you worry 'bout a thing. Work hard with toward what you want. You will get it.

Am I Proud to Be an American?

This weekend is the 4th of July, or Independence Day in the United States of America. One of my favorite songs during this time of celebrating the country is "God Bless the USA." The words paint a detailed picture of the beauty of the United States, both in a physical and emotional aspect. Our country is often depicted in a majestic manner such as this, making it seem like the greatest in the world and we often hear those bold words, "I'm proud to be an American."  With all of the issues that have been cropping up over the past couple of years such as impeachment, systemic racism, foreign intervention, and most significantly the COVID-19 pandemic, I have reflected deeply about what we celebrate with the 4th of July. These issues are just a few of the many that have made me wonder about the country we praise so proudly.  Am I really proud to be an American?  Thomas Jefferson wrote the candid words of the Declaration of Independence, which were th...

Dear Readers, Ok, so I can't fit the entire title into the title box. It's a good song, go look it up: "You make me smile." The title can apply to anyone, I've found. The rest of the lyrics would probably refer to a best friend or a significant other, but anyone can make you smile. They all have the own way of doing it. Some are just funny all the time and you can't help smiling when you're around that person. I know some who take care of people so well that you just smile when they're doing something for another. Others you can talk to about your problems and no matter what they say, it seems to make sense and you feel better...thus a smile. Ok, a smile doesn't always come in that case, but people usually smile after that. Anyone can have a blonde moment and make everyone smile because of it. I'm glad I've got friends who can do all of these: have blonde moments, take care of others or have an episode of hyperactivity that you can't he...

I Don't Wanna Be Anything Other Than Me

Dear Reader,  I work online at one of my part-time jobs. Sometimes it is required of me to look up a person's credentials or accomplishments to better fill out a description of their time on the radio. This means I do Google searches quite frequently to find their websites, their social media profiles, etc. By no means am I a guru on the world wide web, but I have been around the internet a few times. Why does any of this matter to you, reader? It matters because I have found a few things that are essential to being safe online. As much as anyone hates to admit, the persona built on the web greatly affects the actual person outside of technology. It matters because we need to review the tips on how to remain safe online regularly.  Here is a quick example of how important it is to monitor what you put online. If you put "Dale Lundstrom" into a Google search, there are 743 results as of today. A good number of those have nothing to do with me, it's true. Howe...
