He took time out of his day to bring joy into her heart!

I am celebrating my long term smoke-free sobriety along with all I've learned by practicing my personal development... I know I don't always get it right, but I'm making progress on a daily basis... Forward progress, not perfection is my goal... After all is said & done, I've not allowed myself to become a product of my circumstances, but instead, I've become the beneficiary of my choices...

I do have a grateful heart for all the blessings I've received... I'm grateful for all the “God Nudges” I've received in my life that provided me with the guidance I've needed to bring me this far... One of my biggest Blessings I received from “Patch Adams”, of the movie fame... Though I've never met him in person he taught me to always practice, “Extraordinary Happyness” in my life... I do that on a daily basis, not for any expectations of receiving anything in return... I've reached most of my goals, still working on a few, but at least today I know I'm following the right path... </span></p><p style="text-align:left;" align="center"> </p><p align="center"><span style="font-size:18pt;">Let's make it an awesome year from <br /> my little corner of the world to yours! </span><br /> <span style="font-size:18pt;"><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}9607228084,RESIZE_180x180{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-center" src="{{#staticFileLink}}9607228084,RESIZE_180x180{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="9607228084?profile=RESIZE_180x180" width="100" /></a></span><strong style="font-size:18pt;"><em><u><a href="http://lindamichelwhite.com/" target="_blank">LindaMichelWhite.com</a></u></em></strong></p><p align="center"><span style="font-size:18pt;">Extraordinarily Happy Networker, </span><br /> <span style="font-size:18pt;">Senior Blogger & Mentor in Training</span></p><p style="text-align:left;" align="center"> </p></div>Seniorisms by LMW Time To Wake Up America!https://syndicationexpress.ning.com/profiles/blogs/seniorisms-by-lmw-wake-up-america-12021-05-16T05:18:12.000Z2021-05-16T05:18:12.000ZLinda Michel Whitehttps://syndicationexpress.ning.com/members/LindaMichelWhite<div><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/8934281076?profile=RESIZE_180x180&width=88"></div><div><p> </p><div id="prdate"><table><tbody><tr><td>Published on 6/19/2020</td><td> </td></tr></tbody></table></div><div id="prtags"><div class="hashtags">#Seniorisms by LMW</div><div class="hashtags"># Wake Up America</div><div class="hashtags"># Juneteenth</div><div class="hashtags"> </div><span style="font-size:18pt;"><strong>I guess I have finally unleashed my creative juices again, probably because I see empathy awakening in our country...

Happy Juneteenth! (June 19th) Say what? This is a date few of us are aware of because it isn't taught in public schools... We weren't taught about the social injustices of our country, but instead taught to memorize & recite the, “Pledge of Allegiance” each morning before class, without any clue that didn't apply to all of us...</span></strong><br /> <br /> <strong> <iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6FX-Iisvrj8" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> <br /> </strong></h2><h2 align="left"><span style="font-size:18pt;"><strong>I was born & raised in the most segregated city in the country, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in the state that some of my diverse friends call, Wississippi... Why? Because that's where racism is hidden... One would expect it if talked about in Mississippi, not in Wisconsin! I grew up in that conservative atmosphere, never realizing what the true definition of conservatism meant until I moved away, when slowly I began to see the difference... I was taught in Sunday school, if you were a Christian you believed in the teachings of the Bible... I discovered Conservatives teach what they want you to believe... It has nothing to do with the teachings of Christ... </strong></span></h2><h2 align="left"><span style="font-size:18pt;"><strong>In appreciation of all my friends & followers:</strong><strong> </strong></span><br /> <br /> <iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/eYGsZBTc27A" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> <br /> <span style="font-size:18pt;"><strong>Contributed by my friends, </strong></span><br /> <span style="font-size:18pt;"> <strong>Microdac - Video </strong></span><br /> <span style="font-size:18pt;"> <strong>Leslie Butler - Music</strong></span></h2><h2 align="left"><strong><span style="font-size:18pt;">I quit school at 15, after 10<sup>th</sup> grade but I never called myself a dropout because I never stopped learning...

You see, I'm a recovering alcoholic who hasn't had a drink in over 30 years... I drank because I hated the way I was living but I lacked the courage to change... I owe much of my success to AA because, while I already had a firm belief in God, they taught me all about the “God of My Understanding” & suddenly He became very personal to me... Finally, my life started to make sense... I discovered, there isn't enough alcohol in the world to quench my insatiable thirst for knowledge! One of the most difficult lessons I learned was Acceptance... The Serenity Prayer became something I literally had to learn by heart, not just memorize like the Pledge of Allegiance...</span></strong></h2><h2 style="text-align:left;" align="center"><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable"><iframe class="fr-draggable" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/iKhAg2dMKbo" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> </span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:18pt;"><strong>I have used that prayer so many times, if I had a penny for all the times I recited that prayer I'd be wealthy... Instead, it gave me a wealth of another kind, Peace of Mind... Today, I have true friends, who, if I were to stumble, would help me to get back up instead of talking about me & belittling me behind my back... I lost everything that I thought I couldn't live without in 2008 but with the strength I received through God & the program of AA. it never once occurred to me to escape that mess by taking a drink...
