On Goodness
Pete here. What is goodness? What do people feel goodness is? I have been called a "good person" by many people. It isn't anything grand that makes me "good" or "kind". I guess I should start by saying "good" I'm not talking about good vs evil or moral failings. I'm talking more about the little things that I do. I don't want to toot my own horn, I feel like I'm bragging, but the things that I do I notice that other people don't. I don't think maliciously, but it seems that

Just Show Up - Finale!
Hello there. Since I didn’t finish this post the other day and Alice is desperately trying to get her house in order before her surgery, I offered to finish my post to substitute for her. Never fear, she will be online again. Now…About the rest of the story: At age 55 I was “retired” as part of a large layoff and reorganization. After over 30 years of being the best I could (fairly successfully, I might add) I was told there was not a place for me in the new organization.
