I know I been posting a few videos about Mr Rogers.
Its was done with a reason. Pointing out and reminding us all that remembers growing up with him and the meaning of his life, and what he was doing. Showing us how to be, how to treat each other, to be kind, to love you just the way you are. As we grew up, in this day and age, we tend to forget so many of things he tried to teach us. That we matter, and no body is worthless.
Dakotah started a idea some days back, and I poke part of the journal of his, here......
"I Challenge You All!
18:31 Aug 03 2019
I see so much drama here as we all do and rarely do we see positive post about people here. So, today I put out a challege to all members of this community. For the next 3 days Make a post in your journal about a member of the community that you personally know they have done something good to help someone in the community. It can be something the person has done personally for you or something you have seen them do for someone else. I dare you to accept this challenge... No, I double-dog dare you!!! "
Mr. Rogers did some thing like this in a couple of speaches he did....Below is from one of them.....
"Fred Rogers: 'Ten Seconds of Silence', Lifetime Achievement Award - Emmys 1997
14 September, 1997, Emmy Awards, Pasadena Civic Auditorium, CA, USA
Thank you. Thank you. Oh it’s a beautiful night in this neighborhood. So many people have helped me to come to this night. Some of you are here, some are far away, some are even in Heaven.
All of us have special ones who have loved us into being. Would you just take, along with me, ten seconds to think of the people who have helped you become who you are. Those who have cared about you and wanted what was best for you in life. Ten seconds of silence. I’ll watch the time.
[10 Sec Pause]
Whomever you’ve been thinking about, how pleased they must be to know the difference you feel they’ve made. You know they’re the kind of people television does well to offer our world. Special thanks to my family and friends, and to my co-workers in Public Broadcasting, Family Communications, and this Academy for encouraging me, allowing me, all these years to be your neighbor. May God be with you. Thank you very much.
I say that you take the time, what ever time you do need to remember all those who love you, and helped you, and wanted th best for you, that you could do, and be anything you wanted to be.
If needed, write it down, and keep it near to remind yourself of the person you are now due to those people.

So, this is my two cents on Dakota Challenge.
No matter who you are..... I talk to each and every one of you....no one is better then the other, or less then another. Each of you are special and unique in your own way. I love you for just the way you are. I share this from the heart of what Mr. Rogers was tring to share with us all.
To love one another.
So, in ending of all this, I hope to the gods this is takin in hopes for what it is meant to be. To stop and think.....
Treat others as you want to be treated.
Talk things over when in dought.
Share how you feel about things.
This is so beautiful. I use to watch Mister Rogers when I was a kid. Soon as I heard that introduction music when Mom would turn it on I would run to the Den and glued to the TV. Mom would tape his shows and now she plays them for my nieces and nephews. These days with social media and bully online that kids experince we need Mister Roger's style shows for kids to watch. I will add to your journal post a few of his quotes that I find nice. As I said to you before if I could give a wish to every member of VR that wish would be that everyone learns how to love themselves and to embrace these quotes:
Knowing that we can be loved exactly as we are gives us all the best opportunity for growing into the healthiest of people.
"As human beings, our job in life is to help people realize how rare and valuable each one of us really is, that each of us has something that no one else has--or ever will have--something inside that is unique to all time. It's our job to encourage each other to discover that uniqueness and to provide ways of developing its expression."
"It's not the honors and the prizes and the fancy outsides of life which ultimately nourish our souls. It's the knowing that we can be trusted, that we never have to fear the truth, that the bedrock of our very being is good stuff. That's what makes growing humanity the most potentially glorious enterprise on earth."
