The Emmys are on tonight and every year I always say that it was a privilege to be able to see your talent.  I also say that regardless of whether or not you won you deserve the accolades for your abilities to portray so many different people.  That is still true.

However the joyfulness of the Emmys is tainted this year by the events occurring around the world.  There are protests and military actions along with worldwide flooding due to hurricanes and other extreme weather phenomenons.  Some people say this is regular others say it is apart of global warming.  No matter what you understand or believe it to be. The world is in turmoil.

What can we do? Support your neighbor, mend fences and heart and above all, remember how would you feel in the same situation.  Conquering may get you fame but I don’t think Ivan the Terrible wanted the reputation he ended up carrying as history repeats his atrocities.  So think back to the mistakes of the past and with all your efforts don’t repeat them. Be love, envision harmony, care for yourself, family, friends and even strangers along with everyone in between and world peace can be obtained.

Do what you can, with major hurricanes our country needs you.

The rush of wind

Swirling water

Sounds whirling

Turning items

Creating confusion 

Of place

For once that was here

Is now there

If to be found at all

-Jennie Nawrocki

There is so much I could write about that would let people see how I feel about their actions and behavior.  On the other hand,  one of the greatest insights to teaching, parenting or even relating to strangers is yes first impressions are good but what is that based on.  That  idea is a derivative of the concept of modeling the behavior you want.  From a person who feeds off of others thoughts this can be hard but sometimes you still have to be the person you want to be and soon that genuinely gentle behavior will be given in return.

I spent most of my younger days vowing to be the best person I could be and follow all the rules.  I have encountered so many people along the way who thought my life was boring and it needed to be spiced up.  I think I want to stick with boring for a little while interspersed with a little laughter.

You have no reason to be upset

No, you can’t have that

It’s not personal 

Turned out to be personal 

Everything will be ok

Until the expiration date 

I have every right

I have no rights

It is fun

When you get nothing

Sure join us

Except you

-Jennie Nawrocki 

The day to start new and give maybe some words of wisdom.  I shan’t say that after last week I have had a lot but somehow I think we all should love. Love people for the stereotypes they might be or even the ones they aren’t. Search for love in places you never saw it before or renew it once it has been lost. I am.

-Jennie Nawrocki 

I get gifts like these because:

I don’t obey voices.

Jimmy is married to Nancy.

Ben has Lindsey.

My mother is Connie my father is Thomas but really my MOTHER is Lisa and my FATHER is Nick.

I have family and friends who used to call me frenemies who now refer to me as just their enemy.

It is my job to be depressed, fearful and angry.

Any questions?

It isn’t that speaking is hard, nor is listening to an opposing view.  I should know my world is filled with opposing views and unfortunately even I have seen things disappear for their differences of opinion.  What I think bothers people most in a disagreement is they simply don’t feel respected for their beliefs or as a person.  Think about it have you ever been in an argument and somebody doesn’t have the empathy to listen, hear, or even understand your side.  Some people think that is my downfall the inability to see the other side, however often I see your side completely or at least the information relayed to me.  I have put myself in your shoes but in some situations they never seem to fit.  I think in these scenarios it is important to realize some issues just might not be agreed upon.  For example, take a simple issue such as does the toilet paper positioning matter.  For you who may not know some people say there is a correct way to place the toilet paper on the toilet paper dispenser.  Now it could be a deal breaker or inconsequential for you or anywhere in between though are you able to see, respect and understand someone who doesn’t.  How would you handle the conversation if you were or encountered a deal breaker about it?  It’s knowing right whether the issue is just about toilet paper or something entirely different.  It’s knowing if this is a pick your battles or can you arrive at a consensus after talking.  Whatever it may be to me and I even have to work on this skill is to keep these issues doing anything except showing regardless of the outcome the argument was completed with sincere consideration, maybe then it could never be an argument but a conversation.

Effort is important 

Regardless of situation 

You may have

Not gained a metal

Though last time

You were farther back

Than when beginning 

Soon you will be

Farther than before

Even with a little

Angst and sweat

For one day 

Your goal is met.

-Jennie Nawrocki 

Cicadas chiming 

Noisy to some 

Calming to others

Fill the night air

Cooling steadily

With cold water in hand

Friends by your side

Laughing about nothing 

For all the drama

Melted in the hot sun 

Hours ago

For at the end

Of the day

We just want

To be together

-Jennie Nawrocki
