One of the benefits I get by writing at least one piece per day, the David-Daily, is that I ask myself about what “needs” to be said. That’s a tricky question, because as much as I may care to say a thing, so what? Does what I have to say matter to others, and if so, how?
The answer is that I do not know. Nor can I. So, like most things, I choose to to care too much about it. I write what seems to be to be worth reading. But we value things independently; I can only share mine own.
That’s a valuable thing to realize, especially when writing at least one piece per day, like the David-Daily. Today’s daily is about gratitude.
The things I’m able to do these days are so small, they hardly seem worth doing at all. But these are the things I’m able to do. Build skills, produce content, participate with others in things we all care about, slowly fix things that are broken that keep me from getting more done.
Rather than fall for the temptation of impatience and disappointment, I am grateful to get done what I do get done. Because I’ve had it worse, especially the nine months I couldn’t even put weight on my right leg. That experience gives value to this experience—perspective.
Perspective, “the bigger picture” was a thing taught to me by my Salesian mentors, back in the day. As a kid, perspective—well we don’t have much experience from which to contrast things. But I learned it. Perspective keeps me grateful, even though I can find things to complain about.
The “news” is still shit, hive media propaganda. Progressive Establishment Globalists (PEGs) are still doing their best to ruin and rule the world. People are still living by way of ego driven ideology, and always will. The pandemic hoax is still in full effect, the current machinations targeting our children, with abuses that people need to pay for.
Plenty to complain about. But I’m okay. I’m still American. I’m still happy to be who I am, exactly as I am. My days are spent picking at things I care about, and I get to do that. Plenty to be grateful for.
I do still suffer the knowledge that most people will remain lost and miserable. Never finding their way into life as an American. I’ve been such a person, and it was terrible. But that’s how things are. So I also choose not to care about it beyond my initial, ever present, disappointment.
Today’s David-Daily is a thanks giving to God, and to you, who find something of mine, worth reading. I write for myself; I’m happy when it does more.
Clarity, unity, organization, action. Let’s not fail where it counts.
Stay American!
