Forgiveness covers the act of forgiving. It means to pardon another for transgressions against you. It implies both the act of forgiving as well as the state of being forgiven. In Biblical context it is the forgiveness of sin or of injuries. It implies a disposition to pardon aka a willingness to forgive.
I have been subject to forgiveness. I have also experienced it being withheld by others. Whereas in a younger day I might fret and worry in the midst of such antics nowadays I just shrug it off and "poof" I'm no longer burdened with either seeking or wanting any measure of forgiveness for myself.
It comes from being exposed to one too many human slimeballs I suppose.
Today is Forgiveness Day. It happens each June 26th since 1994 under the auspices of the Christian Embassy of Christ’s Ambassadors. It is not Global Forgiveness day which happens on July 7th and is actually an off-shoot of Forgiveness Day.
The Bible states that in order to be forgiven you must forgive.
The Book of Psalms
25:18 Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins. 32:1 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. 85:2 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah. 86:5 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. 103:3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 130:4 But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.
Holy Bible, King James Version
I try to go there each time forgiveness becomes an issue in my life. Luckily this doesn't happen much anymore. I try to discard old grievances or grudges and forgive those who have done me wrong. Ann Leath, Jimmy Koosa, Jim Smith, and most others with whom I have come into conflict are no longer issues in my life for scores of years nowadays. I find it makes the day less contentious for me personally and I sleep much better. Age and maturity has certain unspoken benefits.
Forgiveness is not necessarily forgetting. Just because you forgive someone you don't have to coddle nor socialize with them otherwise. Try to forgive. If you can forgive and forget all the better.

The United Nations Public Service Day happens each June 23. It is a "UN Public Service Day" allegedly to “celebrate the value and virtue of public service to the community”. IMHO it is subterfuge to disguise the true aim of the UN and it's various agencies.
The United Nations recognizes that the vast bulk of the population of the Earth declines to indulge in intellectual affairs. This makes them ripe for the picking — to be used spitefully as a resource from which assets and possessions are to be fleeced in the name of something which on the surface "appears" benign yet has a most morbid methodology of attainment.
Sustainability
A means of configuring civilization and human activity so that society, its members and its economies are able to meet their needs and express their greatest potential in the present, while preserving biodiversity and natural ecosystems, planning and acting for the ability to maintain these ideals for future generations.
Ah yes, it "SOUNDS" good, but what they propose is to confine populations to small areas called "15 minute cities" and have green spaces which are essentially "no mans land" replete with machine gun towers whereby you are terminated with extreme prejudice if you trespass. Regardless of the fact that you are a citizen of the country and the UN owns nothing they are controlling.

Then these primarily third world dirtbags want to take everything you own and everything you have saved from you and distribute it to other people even thought they have never worked a day in their lives.
As if you "owe" it to them just because the UN thinks it's proper.
When you see the United Nations think of the death they wish to deal to you and that confiscation they propose of your worldly possessions with the redistribution across the globe of everything you've worked for in your life.
We need to get the United States out of the UN. We need to get the United States out of the stupid World Health Organiztion their medical arm of plandemic idiots and shysters they want to place in control of you and yours.
These people are trying to take over the entirety of the earth and they will manipulate you however they see fit in their aim to destroy you and take what is yours. These third world countries want to control your very existence.
They are stupid people lead by megalomaniac psychopaths such as Bill Gates and Klaus Schwab. They propose stupid fifteen minute cities to keep you hostage and under their control. Disband the United Nations before it's too late. The progressives in the United States are onboard with this world domination crap. I'm not going to allow it to contain in my life. I shall resist by any means necessary. New York City be damned.

The sweltering heat has us thinking air conditioning. I am on my second HVAC unit in my homestead. I opted for the recommendation of Mike with Tri-City Fuel & Heating who gave me an Armstrong 4 ton unit with gas furnace and encased evaporative coil.
It has three discreet units but two of those are in the attic on a platform they constructed for that purpose. The big thing you see on the side of my house is just part of the equation.
They were a couple of days getting here but once they got hot they had everything going in a day. The lead installer was skilled at metal work and fabricated custom duct attachments and it has been working great since they finished the job.
Today is National HVAC Tech Day. It has existed since 2016 under the auspices of ARS/Rescue Rooter. It is meant to honor those persons involved in keeping us warm and cool in the range of extremes we experience with the weather and seasons.
When you sport the amount of technology I have going on climate control becomes a priority.
Happy National HVAC Tech Day and stay cool this Summer.

It's the first day of Summer. The temperatures are in the low 90s presently and they are acting like these are a deadly occurrence.
I recall temperatures of 110 some years and all I could do is whine.
Nowadays I maintain a lot of computer equipment which requires more cooling than in the past. More expense too !
The summer solstice aka estival solstice happens when one of Earth's poles has its maximum tilt toward the Sun.
It happens twice yearly. Once in each of our Northern and Southern hemispheres.
The event has been recognized as significant thougout our history from the beginnings of recorded time.
It marks the longest day and shortest night of the year.
At this time the sun is at it's highest in the sky. The opposite astronomical even is Winter solstice.

I have owned a few companion animals over the years. They have been canines as well as rodentia and even a marsupial or two. In the end I am left satisfied that I am not the perfect dog owner. Far from it. So I simply decline to have a dog anymore in an effort to be more responsible.
I can't see myself hugging and kissing some of the dogs I encounter anyway.
Today is Ugliest Dog Day — a rather dubious celebration of the ugliest dogs around.
So regardless of your position regarding canines and beauty, get out there and hug that ugly dog of yours. I personally intend to abstain for the immediate future.

When I think of sushi I think of Inakaya Watanabe on Jamil Road in St Andrews.
I have been going there quite the long time and my tastes have evolved into a sophistication I never thought I would know.
I was opposed to consuming raw fish for years prior to my first visit. After that it was all over. It was simply too delicious !
Those taste sensations created by the itamae Ryo-San are something to long for when you're not there. I typically dine with a lot of others who say how they go there several days a week.
In actuality I would love that but I typically consume a check in the range of $120 so it may not be feasible.
Today is International Sushi Day.
It is held June 18th anually and is one of the many fine times to enjoy a plate or two of sushi.
Now I like a little sashimi and other things with my meal but the attractions for me personally are Toro, Saba, and Unagi.
I simply can't ever get enough ...
Happy International Sushi Day to you !

Another Flag Day is upon us. This day marks the Second Continental Congress adoption of the first US national flag on June 14, 1777.

The 'Stars and Stripes' are an important feature of my personal life. Being a Navy brat I grew up patriotic. This is why the heathen unscrupulous immoral democrats piss me off to high heaven with their never ending attempts to ruin the Republic "for which it stands" and place it under their exclusive anti-USA immoral rule ...
I'm satisfied not to have any more states added to the Union and more so — to get rid of all of jerkwad Joe Biden's illegal aliens ... by an means necessary. I would be okay with getting rid of all the democrats in a similar fashion.
Happy Flag Day and illegals your days are numbered.
God bless America.
