Good morning ladies and gentlemen, One thing that I have noticed when it comes to people, people are quick to complain about situations but they did nothing to prevent, change it, or offer an alternative. For example, people complain about the election but did not vote. Some will say I did vote; okay, let’s look at this for a moment. When that person first started his career, did you pay attention to his platform? Or let’s look at work, people complain about the new rule or policies, did you voice your thoughts or opinions in the company suggestion box? When they were talking about problems leading up to this policy did you speak up? Let’s look at laws, people complain about laws, but when they were being discussed in legislation did you attend rallies, when a bill was on the docket before it was passed did you voice your opinion? What’s my point? This is the point, as ladies and gentlemen in this world we live in we have to be aware of the things around us that involve us directly or indirectly. A lot of laws, and decisions are being made around us everyday and we fail to either pay attention or care until they become in effect, then we want to complain about them. This is a critical time for most of us as we get older and are going to rely on the next generation to take over. This means we need to be active in what is happening around us, the next generation coming up they may not have values and morals. So we need to be teaching them the correct ways and how to live, and to make a better future. If we all wait for the next person to get involved or do something then no one will or the wrong people will step up and take over. Let’s make a conscious effort to stay informed and be present in the things around and things that affect us.

👴National Shut-in Visitation Day👴 National Shut-in Visitation Day is a special occasion that encourages people to reach out to those who are confined to their homes. This day highlights the importance of connecting with individuals who may feel isolated due to physical or mental conditions. A simple visit can bring immense joy and a sense of connection to those who rarely have the chance to engage with others outside their homes. In a world that moves quickly, shut-ins can be left watching life happen through windows, phone screens, or the occasional delivery at the door. A thoughtful visit, call, or shared activity can break up long stretches of solitude and remind someone that they are still part of a wider community. “Shut-in” or “homebound” can describe many different situations. Some people have mobility limitations, chronic illness, pain, or fatigue that make leaving home difficult. Others may be recovering from surgery, managing a disability, experiencing anxiety about going out, or coping with caregiving responsibilities that keep them indoors. Some are older adults who no longer drive, while others are younger people whose health or circumstances create unexpected isolation. National Shut-in Visitation Day focuses on what these situations have in common: fewer chances for spontaneous social connection. Celebrating this day is crucial because it addresses the loneliness and isolation many shut-ins experience. Individuals confined to their homes often struggle with feelings of abandonment and depression. Regular visits can uplift their spirits and improve their mental health. There is also a practical side to companionship. Social contact can help a person stay engaged with interests and routines, which can support emotional resilience. Friendly visits can provide a gentle “real life” conversation that is hard to replace with quick texts or scrolling. For many shut-ins, the most difficult part is not the home itself, but the way days can blur together without meaningful interaction.
