Good Morning: Digital Neighbors, ADD Irregulars, WSN Niche’ Curators and Memeing Maniacs! The third Sunday of Advent is a time to rejoice, the meaning of gaudete, as our attention turns from praying for the end of the world, not normally on people's joy list😉, to remembering the Incarnation of Jesus. Of course there are plenty of uptights about baby Jesus, they have been protesting Nativity scenes for decades, hardly even newsworthy now. The culture war is so far past those days. I do expect the obligatory hit piece from the outhouse worthy publications about Christmas. I really don't mind them, but they never seem to have the testicular fortitude for talking about Mohammed when it comes to their publications. At least shameless lying cowardice is one consistent trait they possess.

Jesus or no Jesus in your life, I hope you can discover joy from time to time. I hope you can find it in life and share it with those around you. There are enough emotional vampires out there that suck the joy and laughter right out of your life. Many of them work for the Enemedia or one of the other bastions of herdthink in Academia, Big Tech, Wokertainment and of course Politics. They have a smugness that often masquerades as joy but fades so quickly when they are criticized or opposed that you have to wonder if they really ever had it. They didn’t. Perhaps the election not only pulled back the curtain on the lies of the Enemedia, but also exposed just how toxic the Left has become and the center-right have found a place of agreement in Trumplandia.

Joy - it flows from gratitude. If you want more joy in your life, cultivate more gratitude. It doesn't mean you ignore the challenges of life or the real hardships that people experience, but you mentally focus on what you are thankful for in life. You don't need a deity to give thanks for the goodness in life, all you need is gratitude for the what, who and the how's of your life. Blessed Sunday to all my neighbors! Have a great Gaudete Sunday!
