A Villain –
A Judas has been called the patron saint of social justice. Doing something for the poor may satisfy the guilt that we all have. Give unto Caesar what you can’t give to God. Caesar may be able to do what you are not doing.

a place where I want a grandchild to live
A Place In New England –
A place where I found a job when I had a wife and two children. Far from in-laws and friends we checked out all New England had to offer. The job only lasted four years but the family lasted long enough to create two more. Then there were only two places where we wanted to live.

a little chaos is actually good for us
A Something To Deal With –
A minor disorder to be recognized and corrected. A sense of being in charge of a small part of this world. I got this. I can handle this. Don’t need any help. I will let you know if I do.

a favorite blogger to follow
A Lord Buckbeak and Green Jihad –
A top two. They are both outrageously political. I may be their biggest fan. My blog is religious but my political views are stronger. Give unto Caesar. It is our duty.

a lesson I have learned recently
A Shift In My Perspective –
A start of my morning routine without turning the TV on and thinking about the dailyprompt with my coffee. I try to answer the question which seems to be getting more difficult. I do like the silence but it may be preventing my ability to come up with an answer.

What’s a lesson you’ve learned recently that shifted your perspective?
a thing I do to improve sleep
A Fasting Four Hours Before –
A brain wash. No food or water. Go to bed on an empty stomach. Blood takes nothing to the brain and removes the trash. As an older person with a bad heart valve, need to rest and nap whenever I can.

a hit of 5000 steps today
A Drop Of Achievement Here –
A morning bike ride replaces walking for old people. Flexing unloaded joints is better. The air is cleaner and cooler. A local mall has just enough light to keep things from running into each other. A good start.

A Thinking Problem That Must Be Solved –
A smile will replace it. Just think a smile and wave goodbye. You know you will meet again some sunny day. Save it for a rainy day. The sun will come up tomorrow,

A Something I Hated When Young –
A bacon. My mom didn’t know how to make it crisp. Something that was hard to do before the microwave. I also suspected she and my dad didn’t want it crisp. We saved the bacon fat in a tin can and would use it to fry eggs and other stuff. That was ugly. Later learned to use only butter and low heat.

a time you followed your gut
A Big Move Away From Both In-laws –
A job change. I actually laughed out loud when I got my first call from a head hunter. The high interest rate made buying or selling a house impossible. Our kids were young. We didn’t know anyone. We did everything together. The best thing for a growing young family. They made me an offer I couldn’t refuse.
