My dad told me, “It is a sin not to live up to your potential.”

He’s not a religious person I think he just wanted to explain how heavy it may have weighed in his own mind, but we both support my mother’s idea of heaven and on occasion go to church with her at a nice church with a good community where they live. I don’t like religion but I do like open minded communities that support themselves as well as people they think differently than.

Anyways I’ve added more openminded sounding meanings to it over my life like, considering opportunities of each individual and “live up to” can mean just being a person of integrity.

Thank you so much for sharing this interesting information.

This is a lovely picture. Sorry if I’m being a bother but it looks like there is some mail with identifying info in the photo and I wanted to let you know in case you did not want that.

Sort of. Be a decent person and treat others with decency. If something indecent is about to happen or happening to you or others, do your best to stop it or seek justice, by appropriate means for the situation. Don’t kill someone who threw water at you or kicked your truck.

Haha I like to be silly at work sometimes after I’ve already paid the big monthly expenses. I say, “I’m here to do two things help kids and pay bills, and I’m all outta bills.” I would continue to work in my field on a part time basis. Then I would make time for a few doctor appointments and start going to therapy again. I’d walk my dog at different parks more often. Hopefully id make more time with my friends and family assuming they have the same deal. I would want to be more involved with my community too.
