Thank you for the 13 virtues of Benjamin Franklin. In my humble opinion, they are very appropriate for the uncertain times we are in. I will put Autobiography on my reading list. Wishing you an awesome day!
Thank you, Yoko! That occurred to me as I was reading, and writing about this -- this moment feels so incredibly uncertain, like everything we once thought was secure has been torn apart. It's dawning on me that the only thing I can control is myself; so maybe I should get to work on that?
I think it is mostly trying to delete the many stereotypes and negative ideas about people that were part of society when I was in the formative years. One until today today! It is always an ongoing effort keep learning everyday.
This is incredibly timely both in the societal sense but also the personal. I will share and restack but also take a moment today to go back and reread and perhaps dust off my journals. Your lead in regarding habitual behavior is spot on.
Thanks so much, Charles! That's been my feeling -- a LOT -- lately. It's interesting how the two are intertwined... I bet your journals are fascinating!

Love this! I’m reposting. There is so much truth!
Thanks so much, Jenna! Hope you are well :)
Much food for though, and a brilliant reminder that we are never really there, or done... :)
Thanks, Wendi! My sentiments exactly :)
I love #2
Me too — maybe I need to follow it more! 🤔
I think you've got the gentleman-gentility thing down--all good!
