After several delays, I have finally started to act upon what has been recommended to me by several friends and acquaintances...starting a blog full of observations I share with people when the appropriate occasion arises. First in order though, is, as the title of this post says, a brief introduction. I believe that anonymity is killing the internet (anyone can be brash behind the screen name redraider51180), so I will limit hiding behind any veils. I work for the city of Houston in the Public Works & Engineering Department, and I make fun of city bureaucracies and ironies in names just as often as the next guy. My goal is to make this a blog I update daily, with a weekly post for longer stories. Undoubtedly, there will be posts not everyone agrees with or likes, but my only plea is that you don't discard the proverbial baby with the bathwater, take and use what you like, ignore what you don't. With all that being said, here is today's thought:
People have their funny and clever ways of simplifying happiness and success into a handful of rules. For Example: 1) Don't sweat the small stuff, 2) It's all small stuff; or 1) Don't tell everything you know. Mine are a little more inclusive, yet just as vague, learned from a church leader while I was a teenager.
1. Be where you are supposed to be
2. Do what you are supposed to do
I have found that following these two rules prevents lots of hardships, and also promotes opportunities. Regardless of personal circumstances, these two rules can act as a simple, easy to remember guide.
This statement is in no way to be construed as a disclaimer
