Sometimes, we tend to find excuses for the things that don't work out for us. We tend to blame others instead of taking responsibility for our actions, which only elevates the excuses. This behavior also applies to standing up for what is right. We often remain silent and wait for someone else to take the initiative instead of holding ourselves accountable. "What's your excuse, now?" is about empowering ourselves to make choices that will help us feel comfortable and confident in our skin.

Friends?
I took a shortcut today through a
residential community and passed a former co-worker’s home. I noticed a For Sale sign on the front lawn
and men working on the home. She had risen through the ranks and moved to
bigger and better opportunities in DC. We
never became good friends but we have held a few serious conversations at one
time or another. She passed away a few years ago from cancer. She was a wonderful person but some might disagree.
I mentioned this to say that the few
people we do consider friends, we don’t tell them enough how we appreciate
them. I, personally, have that problem. I've always questioned myself why I don’t
let people get close to me. It’s not the hurt that I’m concerned about, we’ve
all been hurt. My concern is the loss of someone in my life that I care about.
It’s draining so I build my walls. When
people care about me, I am reluctant to reciprocate. So, it’s easier to
distance myself. It may be selfish. While I’m avoiding being hurt, I end up hurting
them. Yeah, I’m a piece of work.
So, I move on without any explanations
and accept the blames against me. I’m getting better but tell that to the
others that I have already offended. My sincere apologies.

The Refugee Question!
Pope Francis, this past week was in
Washington, DC, where he spoke to Congress and the United Nations in New York
on climate change and immigration. This weekend, he is heading to the city of
Brotherly Love, Philadelphia, PA. He has been full tilt since he left Italy.
Let me say right now that the tales of refugees
are being put in place right now. How, you might say? One group of politicians
wants to shut down immigration and another want to keep the US doors open.
Keeping the doors open comes with a price. Who are the doors being opened to? Who needs to be kept out? It could be to a lot of people who don't fit America's descriptions.
The tales spinning have begun. A
conservative from upstate South Carolina stated on her FB page that, “According
to the FBI, these refugees cannot be vetted. Refugee status means these people
will be immediately entitled to a huge array of benefits … that our most vulnerable
citizens, including women and children at risk, need.” I have heard already
through various discussions that the refugees will not assimilate to the US but
intend to change the US to a Muslim nation. True or false, only time will tell.
And the President will be still be blamed
for all the bad things that happen.
