“Silly” thoughts… – part 1
They may seem silly, in a way, but are they really? And then, when I have these thoughts, I often wonder how "weird" they are... Do people think things like these occasionally? 🤔 Or are these thoughts a bit more special, in a way, because they don't happen that often? Or, when they happen, maybe people brush them off, and just continue with what they were doing? I know that my brain works in "mysterious" ways, at times. That my logical way of thinking doesn't seem logical at all to most other folks? That it may even seem wrong to some, until they, possibly, find out that some things have more than one "right" way to deal with them... But yeah, I sometimes have these thoughts, and they make me stop, and pause, for a moment... So now, when I have them, I try to write a bit about them on Mastodon. 😊 And in this post, I'll use the Toots (posts on Mastodon) as well as other bits, to tell you all about my "Silly" Thoughts. This is the first post in the series (will it be a series? 😇). […]https://cynnisblog.wordpress.com/2026/03/16/silly-thoughts-part-1/

Martin Luther, early Lutheran theologian, says Christians should give more to the poor than churches. This would shine more brightly than all the churches of stone or wood. This is God’s commandment.
Do we want to do the opposite today? Say that doing real service to God in stone will inspire the poor to clean up their act and pull up selves by their bootstraps?
How can you do a real stream of good to the poor?

I don’t want to be famous, I don’t care if I’m rich (just comfortable would be nice), but what I do want is to be appreciated. I want that little dopamine hit of someone looking at something I did or said and acknowledging the effort. I think that’s all a lot of people want: a little recognition.
Kids who don’t feel appreciated or recognised, who desperately want validation from their parents or teachers or friends but never get it, don’t easily learn to appreciate themselves. They continue to seek out that validation by becoming people pleasers. And they value their own achievements or abilities less because they have never had that external validation to corroborate their internal validation.
And, at some point, they will stop doing what is expected because what they were doing wasn’t appreciated.
So, appreciate effort when it is made because you’ll notice it when it’s no longer forthcoming and, by then, it will be too late.
