You know what surprises me?

The fact that we are related.

Yes just looking at all the connections

15th and 16th cousins we could be

but yet we are so different

But why?

We have similar DNA

we are family

So why the hell do we fight?

Power, prestige, money

Fame, social status, what?

We must stop arguing

It’s beyond silly

It’s becoming disastrous.

I may never be what you wanted

Or lived up to your potential

But I ain’t in your way

So why the chase?

-Jennie Nawrocki

As we celebrate Thanksgiving

People as what are you grateful for?

Well I am grateful for the few people I do talk to.

And know spending time with them is important.

But beyond gratefulness.

This is the first year many are visiting their families again.

That in itself is special.

Enjoy being together again.

It is your right.

-Jennie Nawrocki

Assuming that someone who wrote that was given a non Cuban cigar. We spend our lives going for goals getting getting things done and finishing every task. When reality sets in you don’t always get what you wanted. Either the best quality was too expensive or wrong for you somehow. In relationships some call it settling others just say no one is perfect. (Statistically how many perfect humans are out there?) However one who looks at the glass half full says this person is just right for me, regardless of their flaws. It truly is what you are willing to accept. Everyone has placed an importance on some part of their life, saying I will not accept anything other than Cuban but other items they say this will work. What do you accept as the best Cigar in life and relationships? Do you snub your nose at others because they don’t value the same as you? Life is about accepting but unfortunately humans don’t realize the majority isn’t the best even though they do their best. So remember to accept someone at their best because they are being their best in every way possible. So be your best you are going to be loved.

Yes, the voice keeps saying that in my head.

But regardless if it is or isn’t you still have a choice.

Yes, you still have a choice.

VOTE!

Vote for the one that is professional.

Vote for the one that voted to keep safety.

Yes, that means no guns.

You aren’t safe if all of sudden or within the past years you feel you need to pack protection.

You aren’t safe if you may need to go to a different country because you have an etopic pregnancy.

You aren’t safe if you can’t say what you want. Offending someone with respectful honesty is one thing offending them with hate is another.

You aren’t safe if you have to hide your religion or sexual orientation or stay with your own race.

You aren’t financially safe if they take away Medicare and social security

Vote because you believe in the person not for their name.

Vote!

This time of year the spooks and howls take over.

Scary mazes and haunted houses abound

Tales of horror fill the ears

Parties are abundant with masks

Black cats kept home out of fear

Hospital’s mayhem

Police overworked

Candy everywhere

Whether you live in Salem

Or watch from another country

Know sometimes the greatest fear

Is only a nightmare.

-Jennie Nawrocki

When it is an easy yes

When thinking occurred?

It was that fast

Maybe even muscle memory

Rote reaction

Natural intuition

Does it hurt someone?

No.

Do I like it?

Yes.

Does it hurt me negatively?

No.

Then clear that path

Make it your career

If it isn’t already

– Jennie Nawrocki

Every once

In awhile

A invitation

Arrives

You must take it

Bad or good

For if not

The repercussions

Are much worse

So make the best

Of it

You never know

It could lead

To options

You never thought

Would occur

-Jennie Nawrocki

The first year alone

Was hopeful

As was the second

Then the third was

Hospitals and crying

Next six was just

Crying with hope smashed

Again and again

Until crying was no more

The next years of being alone

Listening to yelling

Hurting and internal crying

And life leaving me behind

I know.

-Jennie Nawrocki

Found myself

Wondering

Reflecting

I like to be busy

I like creating

I like exploring

I like human connection

So why the hell

Am I sitting here

Alone

-Jennie Nawrocki

Trepidatious

Exciting anticipation

Will it go bad?

Will it go well?

How’s my attitude?

How’s their attitude?

Goals should align

Or at least not conflict

It’s big time

After pandemic slowdown

Pace yourself

Everything in moderation

But if you have the opportunity

Take it

Procrastinating

And excuses

Aren’t allowed

Be ready

Be quick

Be efficient

Be respectful

Don’t forget

To be thankful

-Jennie Nawrocki
