Names are a powerful key to hidden emotions.
I have noticed as I grow older and visit government, retail or local restaurants, many look at my credit card or info and say something like, “thank you Mr. Kennedy”.
Or, “Here you go, Mr Kennedy”.
Very few ‘public servants’ call me by my first name these days.
It would be rare for someone to call me that when I was in my twenties. Too common in my seventies! It just feels great for a young person to call me Michael, as a friend would.
I probably visit their establishments more (like Northwood Cider Company not to mention names) than the others if you are listening………
I always say, “it is the simple things in life that are the most important”.

Lessons From The Worst Of Us

I post about my past and what I see in the present. I post what I have done and I try to post what I feel. That is what we all want to read: feelings. Experiences. Humor and all the rest.
I have learned a lot. I have forgotten way too much. I regret little but would like to change the past if I could. But I learn.
I mentioned I have been in Management of Sales – Service – Marketing for decades. A post or two will jab at bosses and managers that knew nothing and the ones that were great. One of the worst managers I ever had taught me the most. He mentioned that he had to change the way he thought about many things. His mother was struggling to live and suffering for a long long time. He would visit her regularly and help where he could; no matter how inconvenient.
Eventually, he began to talk in terms of ‘having to see his mother’, of responsibility and burden. He told a number of us that it wasn’t until he realized this might be the last time he could talk and laugh and remember with his mother, that everything changed. He did not HAVE to visit his mother, he was given another chance to. Every one became precious.
As a member of a fitness gyms over the years, I took Yoga, Pilates, and martial arts training. I tried for years to meditate as suggested by all. I simply cannot stop my mind and concentrate on nothing. My brain does not shut off at night when I want to go to sleep. I could not focus long enough. Then a fill-in Yoga instructor that was not very good at all suggested that the idea is not to block all thoughts and make your mind blank……
But as thoughts and ideas come acknowledge them – and then let them go. “I know you are there and I will think about you later” kind of a thing.
Great advice from the places I would expect it the least.
