May Day

For many years, this was celebrated as the Workers' Day and in some places it still is.  It's interesting to look at some of the actions being taken today - lifting the minimum wage to $15, workers in the restaurant and performing arts industries illuminating the problems of racist and sexist behavior by leaders - and compare them to the platforms established a hundred or more years ago by the Wobblies and others.


Perspective

To be satisfied with the way something turned out,

knowing it was not *perfect* but to find it *good*.

That line is a quote from somebody else's blog post, and the whole thing is worth reading, then go watch the video that triggered the post.  I've seen it, and saw it before her post, and went back and watched it.  It's comforting, in a way, to see somebody that renowed confessing to thoughts of "not good enough" and then saying that there are times that "good" really is enough.

It's very helpful to remember.
