My positive post for Sunday. All of us have strengths and weaknesses. With people I work with I’ve always tried to accentuate their strengths. This generally assures success and happiness on a job site. If we want success in our relationships whether with family or friend, shouldn’t we accentuate their strengths? Sometimes we say something that only takes seconds, but can hurt for years, I’ve seen this. What if we really start trying to say the right thing, starting with our family. They say over 80% of a person is good, and 20% is questionable so why always point out the negatives. I’ve been with my wife for nearly 35 years. I’ve found she always sees the beauty in things that I don’t notice. The other day she went to work and assisted a surgeon to complete a double nephrectomy and a liver resection on a four year old girl with a Wilms tumor. Daily our family members do amazing things that we should always acknowledge. We should also not loose focus that our family is a reflection of us. A compliment or encouragement doesn’t cost anything but in many ways is the glue that binds a family together. We must always remember when things get tough family is what we lean on to help us through. J.Goodrich

The cat memes were hilarious and true! Can’t believe you were in my backyard here in the OC! I live in San Juan Capistrano and indeed, OC has a great deal of awakened patriots who are now, finally, getting involved locally. We attend BoS meetings en groupe and have formed several conservative groups that meet monthly to vet candidates, rally behind conservative issues and generally take our county back from some misplaced people who snuck into power. Eyes are open and action being taken!
