All, I forgot to mention I’ll be off from blogging for about a week. My brother is flying in today from Phoenix and he’ll be here for about a week. I want to maximize my time with him while he’s here so I’m suspending many of my daily routines to do just that.
Have a great weekend. Have a great week.
I’ll see you soon!
Until next time…

All, in the United States, today is Memorial Day. It is a day we honor those that have given their lives in the service of our country. I’ve attached a Wikipedia link if you’d like to learn a little about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorial_Day
I also found the above video for you. This captures what this day is all about.
Until next time…

It’s March! Can you believe how fast this year is going? Today commemorates Women’s History Month, So most of my postings this month on Tuesday and Wednesday will focus on famous women throughout history.
To start off, here’s a short educational video on the Women’s Suffrage March on Washington. It’s a short video, but very educational.
Until next time…

When it is finally ours, this freedom, this liberty, this beautiful
and terrible thing, needful to man as air,
usable as earth; when it belongs at last to all,
when it is truly instinct, brain matter, diastole, systole,
reflex action; when it is finally won; when it is more
than the gaudy mumbo jumbo of politicians:
this man, this Douglass, this former slave, this Negro
beaten to his knees, exiled, visioning a world
where none is lonely, none hunted, alien,
this man, superb in love and logic, this man
shall be remembered. Oh, not with statues’ rhetoric,
not with legends and poems and wreaths of bronze alone,
but with the lives grown out of his life, the lives
fleshing his dream of the beautiful, needful thing.

I wanted to post one more thing during Black History Month. This is a poem about Frederick Douglass. Since the month ends on March 1, this will be my last opportunity to get another individual associated with abolition or the civil rights movement. Next year, I may forego my normal schedule so I can get a profile or poetry or something for each day of the month. We’ll see.
In the meantime, have a great weekend! I realize some of you may be missing my Funny Friday posts, but you can tickle your funny bone on two sites I frequent often. Here they are:
The Oatmeal: https://theoatmeal.com/ Funny Comics and Stories
The Onion: https://www.theonion.com/ News Satire

Folks, in light of Black History Month, I decided to circumvent my funny Friday video with Martin Luther King’s I have a Dream speech. Here it is in its entirety. Dr. King was one of the primary movers during the 1960s that ultimately helped create the Civil Rights act and so many other pieces of legislation that were designed to help change the laws of the land that impacted the African American Community and so many other groups in the United States.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. I watch this speech each year and wanted to share it with you.
Have a great weekend, folks!
Until next time…

Posted in Bonus Content, Happy New Year
I’m posting this roughly 12 hours before the New Year, but since many of you are in so many different time zones, it just made sense to get this out there. 2021 was a good year and 2022 will be even better. This year, like every year, presents the opportunity for growth, improvement, and learning. I wish each of you a terrific 2022 filled with love, prosperity, good health, and achievement.
If you are finalizing your goals for the New Year, here are some areas you may want to consider if you are stuck.
Relationships
Health
Finances
Hobbies
Spirituality
Learning
Creative Projects
Travel Plans
These are some areas that I am diving into this year and figured some of you may benefit from seeing what I am doing and it will prompt you to do the same.
I’ll be back on my blogging schedule on Monday. It was a great idea taking December off. It was nice to just do my thing without a schedule, to-do list, or some other mechanism I normally use to track things. It allowed me the freedom to just be for a month, enjoy my family and friends, and get in some serious gaming. Now it’s time to get ready for the new year and get cracking at my new goals scheduled for the year.
Happy New Year!
Until next time…
Dave

Thank you, readers!
I just hit the 1200 follower goal for 2021. Man, what a day! Next year we’ll be seeking out 1,500. Thanks so much for the interaction, for those that commented, chatted back and forth, and enjoyed some of my content. I am so happy!!!
I’m still looking for some ways to share my passion of gaming, but will figure that out before the end of the year. Now that I’m back in the gym, I’m also going to bring back my exercise routine for 2021.
Thanks again, all of you who follow Daily Ramblings. I really appreciate it!
Until next time…
