Good and Bad History
As much as we want to, and as much as some things need to have never happened, there is nothing that needs to be erased from history. Certainly, there are some things that need to be erased, such as the Holocaust, 9/11, whatever started the Covid pandemic–was it really because of someone eating a bat?… →

It’s Not a Conspiracy If It’s True
I snuck a peek at today’s prompt last night. I was in my spot on the couch with Josh next to me on the loveseat. As soon as I saw this question, I turned to him and smiled and told him what the prompt was. I said, “Let me tell them about UFOs”. And then… →

Two Ways to Look At It
How do you deal with uncertainty? For me, when I’m faced with a decision that I’m not sure about, as in, do I really want to pay that much for tickets? Or, do I really want to quit my job just because that one woman I deal with all the time is making me mad?… →

Spilling the Tea
I’m going to take the easy, not philosophical answer to this question today and say that I hope future Sarah sends me the winning Powerball numbers the next time the jackpot gets big enough to make the news. I want enough money for Josh to be able to retire early and for us to move… →

Don’t Get Me Started
If someone posted this question on Threads, the comments would be unkind and someone would ask the OP if this is rage bait. There are many opinions out there about what schools do and do not teach. Some groups of people insist that teachers are indoctrinating kids with LGBTQ+ ideology. Some people want to make… →
