Remember the old Garmin Navigation systems that we would use in our vehicles? We would put in the address of our desired destination and the system would navigate us to that spot. If we missed a turn, there would be a voice that would immediately announce “RE-CALCULATING.” That not only made it obvious that you made an error, but to everyone else riding along in your vehicle! By alerting us immediately, however, we were able to get “back on track” and focused on reaching our final destination.
seems I can’t ever get enough clothes. I have clothes for every season. Actually, I have all kinds of clothes for every season. When I look at my closet, I find it tells a lot about me. I have a lot of neutral color clothes. I have a lot of clothes without patterns, but I do have some with stripes and flowers. All my clothes say something about me. I have a lot of sleeveless shirts and dresses, and I have a lot of light weight cover ups to go with them. I have special clothes I like to wear golfing. I have specific “old” clothes I like to wear when I fish. I have some clothes with words on them, but I’m don’t like to advertise a lot of my views on my clothes. Some of my clothes have a brand name visible because the manufacturers feel it’s very important to portray their name on my clothes. Also in my closet are my “work” clothes. I have many clerical collars in many colors.

As I’m sure you know, nowadays -- if you start idly researching any potential purchase -- soon enough, every website will remind you of your whim.
June is recognized as PTSD awareness month, a time dedicated to increasing understanding and support for those affected by Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. PTSD is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event, impacting individuals’ thoughts, emotions, and daily lives. This month serves as a vital reminder to break the silence and stigma surrounding trauma and mental health, promote early intervention, and encourage conversations. By raising awareness, we can foster empathy, improve access to care, and support healing and resilience in our communities.
