It's the Morning report!

Dear Reader,

For those who haven't seen The Lion King as a live musical production, today's title comes from one of the first songs in the show when Zazu and Simba are talking with Mufasa about what is going on in the animal kingdom. I use it today because my morning report is not very good.

This morning I woke up incredibly late (About 10:45). I was not happy. Luckily, there was no pressing matter to attend to this morning. On the other hand, it is not the most pleasant experience to waste three or four hours in the morning on sleeping. If I had it my way everyday, which rarely happens, the morning report would look something like this:

7:00 AM - Wake up/Shower/Eat Breakfast
8:00 AM - Read for about an hour (Preferably from the scriptures)
9:00 AM - Write something. This something can be a letter to a missionary, a blog post or even an entry in a journal
10:00 AM through 4:00 PM - Whatever activity is pressing that day. This may include cleaning, reading for work, shopping for groceries, etc.

Typical morning report for my liking. That did not happen today. Instead, it looked something like this:

10:45 - Wake up/Shower
11:30 - Write on Blog
12:00 - Ride up to Orem for Work

Yeah...we are going to work on getting this stuff down for getting up at a reasonable hour. We will see what we can do about that.

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...
