YOU EQUALS YOU

April 7

Sometimes we are dazzled by our

own inadequacies. We want to be

something that we do not have the

talent to be. We get frustrated and

want to quit on life or on our efforts

to explore other possibilities. The

 exceptional are that because they

are exceptional, having talent that

supersedes the normal. We must live

with who we are and if that makes us

unhappy then we should work on

developing a talent we haven’t

discovered up to now. One never

knows where that road will lead and

often it leads to being extraordinary

in a field that we had no notion of

being in. You are who you are and

must live with that unless you want

to change. In life we have the excuse

makers or the victims who have reasons,

at least in their minds, for being in their

present situation. Things will stay the

same unless they do away with the

alibies and focus on improvement.

It may not be an easy move, but things

worthwhile are often not. If you

are lazy or have some feeble notion

that you cannot or are unwilling to

even try then you better get used

to the idea that you are who you are

and nothing is going to change.

Remember that you equals you.

If that is upsetting, then this should be

time to act.

Sometimes we are dazzled by our

own inadequacies. We want to be

something that we do not have the

talent to be. We get frustrated and

want to quit on life or on our efforts

to explore other possibilities. The

 exceptional are that because they

are exceptional, having talent that

supersedes the normal. We must live

with who we are and if that makes us

unhappy then we should work on

developing a talent we haven’t

discovered up to now. One never

often it leads to being extraordinary

in a field that we had no notion of

being in. You are who you are and

makers or the victims who have reasons,

at least in their minds, for being in their

present situation. Things will stay the

same unless they do away with the

alibies and focus on improvement.

It may not be an easy move, but things

TODAY I AM LOOKING BACK

The world seems eerie today

It is quiet, gray and no movement

The feeling is damp with no wind blowing

The sun is not flirting with the clouds

I decide to think of my ancestors

I remember them back as far as my Grandpa’s mother

She lived in the country with an old maid daughter

She had a hand pump for water in the yard

There was none in the kitchen

My grandpa never owned a home

He always rented and it was clean

He had an indoor hand pump in one home

He always put in a garden and had chickens

He loved to prune fruit trees

When neighbors left for a few days

He would prune their tree, to their dismay

They would be angry at him, but

The tree bore a lot of fruit

Then they thanked him

He lived by the railroad tracks and

In the summer the smell of creosote was prevalent

If you liked it, it was a good smell

He lived close to where the Fort Wayne Daisy’s played

We could walk to the park and watch them against

The Grand Rapids Chicks or the Rockford Peaches

My dad’s father was a baker and did a good business

He was born in Amsterdam as was my dad

They lived on Wabash Avenue and the bakery had living quarters

My other grandparents lived later on the same street

That grandpa was a janitor at Tokheim’s factory where they made gasoline pumps

During WWII they converted over to a munitions factory

The baker grandpa died before I was born so I only knew him from pictures

I am now the oldest living relative on each side of the family

My late sister used to keep up the family tree

I don’t know if anyone is continuing this practice

It is a lot of fun to dwell on the past and remember

OH APRIL SNOW SHOWERS

This morning looked bleak

Two inches of snow and

A beautiful wind storm

It looked like a blizzard

There were white outs

Traffic at a standstill

Don’t worry

We are used to this

Six months in a row of snow

Icy roads because they

Don’t plow on the weekends

Unless there is over four inches

Then during the week the

Snow plows scrape down

The clear roads pushing

Dirt, ice and snow to

The shoulder and beyond

You can see sparks and smoke

It is almost May

Maybe the worst is over

Ice in the lake is mostly gone

Fishing is from the docks

Not a lot of action though

Nature does not keep a schedule

We are under quarantine at the time

The Covid-19 has us tied down

Many think it is a China conspiracy

Churches are fined if anyone congregates

Non-essential businesses are closed and

On the way to bankruptcy

The snow takes your mind off of this

You stay at home and pray

Pray that others are safe

No selective surgeries can take place

Bureaucrats know how to take care of us

They know April blizzards among other things

Stanski

April 5, 2025 ^

NOT WHAT YOU THINK

The fact that you are usually correct

Can sometimes be quite boring

I like challenges and finding solutions

Remain as an idea person

The trouble with finding the answers

Is that you are requested to implement them

This goes against my grain

One should not necessarily lead to the other

It takes courage to identify the problem

Another venture to find the answer

Perhaps the greatest mettle required is to execute it

I don’t desire to get into a competition

Just want to leave the place better

For my having been there

This is not feeding an ego, but

Living up to a personal code

The obvious is not always in plain sight

Intuitiveness, many times, presents the answer

Then the fun begins as many will challenge

Or put up the hoops through which one must jump

This may be discouraging and many refuse

Thus a good project comes to a halt

No purpose is served when this happens

Frustration and disengagement sets in

There are no winners; no win-wins

Just a bunch of lonely people
