@nick_elder I figured…anyone under 30 doesn’t know the feeling of their knees popping when they get out of bed. So accomplishing a full marathon is a win.
Overheard at a basketball game. “She’s taking more classes?! The highest you can get is a PHD!!” I absolutely laughed at this on my side of the bleachers.
@nick_elder What’s scary is I have been asked by the Senior Pastor in person to get gifts cards before. So at first I’m like oh sure. Then I see what email it came from.
I am baffled at an encounter I just had with a business. Being told that “after 30 years I’m tired of explaining things to people.” This should never be said to a client.
Recently I learned about 3 types of loneliness. Existential, emotional, and social. No matter which one a person is experiencing the emotion of loneliness is still there. Ask questions, be kind, be present. We are better together.
If you ask a Midwesterner ”how are you” and they respond “well, im here” or “oh it’s going” send help immediately. It’s a desperate cry for help that loosely translates to “i need you to push me off the roof.”
