A Plea for Compassion

Today is November 3rd, 2020.
It is Election Day and Joe Biden is looking to push Donald Trump out of office. I’m not about to preach my political beliefs, though I do have strong opinions on this stuff. I’m not asking for your opinion and i’m not going to spew about the importance of voting either. I guess this is more of a plea for compassion. Like I said, I have my beliefs about who I think is better suited to represent our country and i’m even willing to respectfully debate my beliefs in a face to face setting for the sake of broadening my own perspective on the matter. When a winner is inevitably announced, I beg that we simply treat each other with respect and lead our lives with compassion and empathy. Let’s not turn to finger pointing or name calling. Accept our new reality and move on with our lives. Losers make excuses for their shortcomings. Winners turn their shortcomings into strengths and build with the limited tools they have. Truth is: there really is no 100% right answer coming from either major party and an entire nation of people are shouting their “personal truths” out into the world, a little louder each time in order to drown out all the folks around them trying to do the same. See the problem?
Take a deep breath. We all have something we can learn from one another. A CEO of a major business has something to learn from the janitor and vice versa, so. just . listen….
Let’s come together. Let’s lead with compassion.Let's embrace diversity.
Let’s practice empathy.
Let’s remember what it means to be proud to be an American.

You made it through the week.

Well partner, that’s why you need to take it upon yourself to make sure you have a night to remember. After all, you owe it to YOU after the week you’ve had at work. Here’s a drink idea that’ll make you feel good about having an extra night cap, in honor of your boss. heh.
Green Tea Margherita
First of all, if you smell what the rock is cooking, make sure you grab some of his tequila too. I don’t claim to be any sort of expert, but Teremana is some pretty freakin’ good stuff. For this Margherita you’ll need:
Silver Tequila (preferably Teremana)
Triple Sec
1 Orange
Brewed Green Tea
I made my green tea at home, sweetened it with honey, and then chilled it before using. You can also use your favorite store bought green tea.
Fill a glass & cocktail shaker with ice. Set the glass aside
Add 2 parts tequila, 2 parts green tea, 1 part triple sec to cocktail shaker. Put top on and shake vigorously.
Serve contents in prepared glass. Top with more green tea, if needed.
Add a fresh squeeze of orange juice and piece of the reserved peel for garnish.
You can “WOW” your friends with this one, or just enjoy in the peace of your own company. Either way, cheers to relaxing and responsible imbibing.
You must be 21+ to drink alcohol. Darla’s Bagel’s does not condone or consent to underage drinking or aiding a minor in the solicitation for such.
Keep spreading love, good people!
Best,
