A male perspective: Go figure

Recently the nation's highest honor, "The Congressional Medal of Honor," was awarded to one of our brave servicemen for defending our freedom.  However, I do find it ironic that "Congress," and "Honor," are included in the same text. Go figure.

It's just ONE vote!

I was speaking to a younger friend of mine about the state of affairs in our country recently.  The party I am NOT affiliated with and who are only for the "1%," seem to be taking the lead in the country.  The two people at the top of their list know NOTHING about politics.  They both say what people want to hear, one a blowhard, the other on a book signing tour currently. They are both pandering to people's angst! Frankly, it scares me that anyone would want to support these people.  They have absolutely no substance, NONE.  So, I am talking to my friend about it.  They say, "I don't vote, after all, it is just ONE vote.  I shook my head.  "How many hundreds of thousands of people say that?"  "Oh," they said.  Yes, OH!  If we want the world to be a good and safe place, if we want EVERYONE to have the rights they need and deserve, if we want to grow and prosper, ALL OF US, not just "the few," we need to make our needs and wants known.  We need to put people in office who have ALL OUR BEST INTERESTS at heart!  It is just ONE vote, but if you add them up, we could be going in the CORRECT direction, instead of where we are headed!

You don't have to explain

yourself.  For many years, I found myself trying to explain whatever my actions were.  You see, I march to a different drummer!  What I am learning is that what I say and do come mostly from my heart and though I see things with a "different eye" much of the time, it is O.K.  There must be more of you out there who are like this.  Let me tell you, it is a hard habit to break after so many years, but, when I can do it, I feel so much better, and relaxed about who I am.  Just sayin.

11/3

We are either part of the problem, or part of the solution!  If we don't vote, we can't complain.  GET OUT THERE!

When things go sideways......

start over!  When you wake up on the wrong side of the bed, start over! When you get up and C@boy has left you a surprise, start over!  When it has rained 3 days in a row and it is getting dark earlier, and  you feel like the funk-monster start over!  When you have put your foot in your mouth, start over!  The point here is we can always pause and START OVER!

Welcome Mexico!

So glad to see you! Please come back and see us!

Not slow, not fast, but

half assed.  That used to be a saying I heard a lot.  Here is a job, give it your all, Not slow...not half assed! It is a funny saying, but it does make a point.  In many places, the weather is getting cold.  It seems to make me worse at starting new things and not completing them, so this year, I am going to start and finish, to the best of my ability, one thing at a time.  I have a spiritual goal, and I have a home goal.  Those are the two things I will concentrate on as I hibernate for the winter.  I am not saying I am going to stay in my cave, but I will slow down and give my all to these very important goals.  Then, in the Spring, I will have energy and some things to feel good about as I start anew just like the spring dictates.
