You’ve got this: Don’t give up

We all have something that seems just out of reach, just beyond our grasp. Whatever it is – you’ve got this.

To the 4-year-old who just wants to ride a bike like her 6-year-old sister, but despite being in training with dad running behind for the last two weeks (every night after work) the training wheels remain, and this situation is getting old – even for a 4-year old.

Stick the course. You’re almost

still hasn’t hit the table and there is laundry to fold and neither of you is sure who is more overwhelmed and a part of you both longs for the simpler days when it wasn’t so busy and so complicated and so exhausting. (Although you’d never say this out loud.) Your situation may seem permanent and daunting, but it is both and neither at the same time.

Give yourself a break. Give each other a break. Clean laundry is overrated; happy babies are not. You’ve got this.

To the 50-year-old who is tired.

Tired of the career that seemed so inviting 25 years ago. To the concept of a mortgage that never seems to get paid off. To the idea of a marriage that’s grown cliché and nearly stale. To the perception of youth, which is becoming more distant each day. To the dismay at the thought of lost time and lost opportunities.

Please know you’ve done well.

You’ve created more good than you know. Grab onto what you have and don’t let go. Make your future the best it can be. You’ve got this.

there. You’ve got this.

To the 12-year-old who just moved into a new town with a new school, who feels like he knows no one (because he doesn’t) and a new school at age 12 can be a tough circumstance to find yourself in – even if you are popular, which it’s hard to be when you know no one and have no friends. When your plight feels insurmountable please understand that it isn’t.

Reach out to others. If someone smiles at you, smile back. You’ve got this.

To the 17-year-old who longs for a date to prom, but feels too awkward or afraid to ask the girl or guy of their dreams because they seem cooler and smarter and more well adjusted than you could ever hope to be. Don’t be deceived by appearances. Ask anyway. If you don’t, you may always regret your hesitance.

To the 90-year-old who is unsure.

Unsure if you are ready to keep living a good life or ready to give thanks for a good life well lived.

Unsure if you are ready to move on to new things or to simply move on.

Do not let age define you; only you get to define you and only you know what is right for your tomorrow. And whatever you decide you want and whatever that may bring: You’ve got this. (You always have.)

Life gives us challenges at every stage and it may seem tempting (easy even) to hit the eject button and escape from the toughest route.

But our challenges define us. They help us grow. So let’s bring this full circle.

To the baby - nine months old, new and unfamiliar with life’s challenges. You haven’t yet mastered the art of walking. But you try. You fall down. And you try again, and again. You might hit your head on the coffee table. You might cry. But at the first chance, you will pull yourself up. You are determined. You aren’t thwarted by disappointment or lack of muscle

control. You just keep trying because you know in your heart one day you will walk.

You know something that perhaps the rest of us don’t. Maybe it’s something the rest of us have forgotten during the process of growing up.

Babies know, they understand, that in order to walk you first have to fall down – many, many times. They know, inherently, that adversity is a part of life. That even when things seem hard or even insurmountable, we’ve got this.

Each of us has got this. We have the power within to get this. We just have to stand up again and try to master the act of walking – one foot in front of the other.

To all you who are struggling – and in some ways we all are: You’ve got this. We’ve all got this.

Together. One step at a time.

One man’s opinion

Looking for some common sense Editor’s note: The opinions expressed in this article do not reflect the opinions of the editor or Rock Valley Publishing.

I truly want to give President Biden the benefit of the doubt.

Sadly, from where I sit, watching over 40 Executive Orders, the benefit of the doubt is slipping.

Among the very first he signed closed down the Keystone XL Pipeline, eliminating 11,000 jobs, 8000 of them union jobs. And yes, that union had endorsed him.

Welcome $4.00 gas real soon.

He immediately stopped the erection of the southern border wall even though millions of dollars are already committed to guaranteed purchases and contracts.

By

JIM SACIA

Former State Representative

President Biden stopped the 1776 Commission, which was started by former President Trump to restore understanding of the greatness of the founding of America. This has been trashed in our schools for the past several decades due to the 1619 Project. Learning about 1619 is scary if you grew up believing in the goodness of America.

Of course President Biden is all in

on the dangers of “climate change” even though 31,487 American scientists including 9,029 PHD’s have signed a declaration that “there is no convincing evidence human release of carbon dioxide is causing catastrophic heating of the earth’s atmosphere.” (http:// www.petitionproject.org) His chosen climate envoy is John Kerry, arguably one of the biggest polluters on the planet.

The late Dr. Vincent Gray, a climate researcher for the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on climate change (UNIPCC) had served on the committee since its inception in 1990, until shortly before his passing in 2018. The gentleman, from New Zealand,

states unequivocally “there is no evidence that carbon dioxide increases are having any affect whatsoever on the climate.” He published a book The Greenhouse Delusion, a critique of climate change 2001. Gray was very critical of the UNIPCC claiming it was “fundamentally corrupt.”

I am old enough to remember that in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s we were returning to the ice age.

And so the country tries to come to grips with our future. President Biden preaches unity. Sadly, the debates about the issues are gone.

The left does not want to hear a word from conservatives. The administration wants a Reality Czar to get us all in line.

The media, big tech, and the far left run interference for President Biden. I get it. They want him to succeed. So do I, but not at the cost of losing my 1st Amendment rights of free speech. Twitter’s Jack Dorsey, has now banned Mike Lindell, the “My Pillow” guy for life for retweeting that the Presidential Election was fraudulent. Mr. Dorsey needs to convince the majority of 74 million Americans that the “My Pillow” guy is wrong. How dare there be dissenting voices?? Isn’t that an American right?

If you are not in fear for the future of our country, you are not paying attention!!

A Reality Czar? Really?

Making tracks Last Thursday evening we received a bit of snow. Unlike earlier this month, this was a light fluffy snow. As it covered the yard, it wiped the slate clean.

Footprints and evidence of the girls’ past adventures disappeared, and the world outside looked untouched.

By morning, little tracks from the birds and other small animals dotted the landscape. As we
