What Is It With Blondes

Ivanka Trump slowly transitioned from honey blonde to a cooler shade. Is it a power move? Nooooooo she wanted to use her private email for government business…..

A blonde driving a car became lost in a snowstorm. She didn't panic however, because she remembered what her dad had once told her. "If you ever get stuck in a snowstorm, just wait for a snow plow to come by and follow it." Sure enough, pretty soon a snow plow came by, and she started to follow it. She followed the plow for about forty-five minutes. Finally the driver of the truck got out and asked her what she was doing. And she explained that her dad had told her if she ever got stuck in a snow storm, to follow a plow. The driver nodded and said, "Well, I'm done with the Wal-Mart parking lot, do you want to follow me over to Best Buy now?"

Why Has America Become So Divided?

Maybe the better question is; “Can the United States Become More United.”

  Cain and Abel

“We weaken our greatness when we confuse our patriotism with tribal rivalries that have sown resentment and hatred and violence in all the corners of the globe. We weaken it when we hide behind walls, rather than tear them down, when we doubt the power of our ideals, rather than trust them to be the great force for change they have always been.”

— Senator John McCain (2018)

“Four reasons the United States doesn’t seem so united anymore” READ ARTICLE  Joe Pierre M.D. from Psychology Today…. Worth the read..

Some of “My Friends” both Democrats and Republicans on Facebook  have made very disparaging exaggerated and untrue statements concerning each other. The attack ads for the most recent election gave me the idea I shouldn’t vote for either candidate. I think this “win at all costs mentality” is very divisive for for our country. The article from Psychology Today adds some much needed perspective. Thanks for stopping by and have a Great Day…… (For my own part, I will be more careful about what I post/comment)

John McCrae’s ‘In Flanders Fields’

“In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.”

My thoughts on a sad situation:: There was a mass shooting in a popular bar in Thousand Oaks, California.  Twelve are dead.  The killer was a local ex-Marine.  For his final act, he killed himself.

A. Gun control ( right or wrong ) isn’t going to happen anytime soon. ( just a fact ).

B. ( PTSD ) “Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a real illness. You can get PTSD after living through or seeing a traumatic event, such as war, a hurricane, sexual assault, physical abuse, or a bad accident.PTSD makes you feel stressed and afraid after the danger is over. It affects your life and the people around you. Read More ( MORE NEEDS TO BE DONE)

C. The U.S. Dept. of veteran affairs & our military need to do more. PTSD: National Center for PTSD …

Veterans Crisis Line:
1-800-273-8255

D. Alcohol and Drug addiction is a major cause of all crime/deaths in the U.S.A. PREVENTION/TREATMENT IS THE ANSWER. SAMHSA’s National Helpline, 1-800-662-HELP (4357), (also known as the Treatment Referral Routing Service) or TTY: 1-800-487-4889 is a confidential, free, 24-hour-a-day, 365-day-a-year, information service, in English and Spanish, for individuals and family members facing mental and/or substance use disorders. This service provides referrals to local treatment facilities, support groups, and community-based organizations. Callers can also order free publications and other information.

E. In our world today we all need to be more vigilant and aware of our surroundings/situation. If you hear/see something that needs to be reported do it.

F. Prayers are probably doing much more than we realize. KEEP IT UP… In particular I use:: “YOUR will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” (pretty much covers everything)

AND BE VIGILANT & SAFE……

“Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.

Next to the Word of God, the noble art of music is the greatest treasure in the world.

There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage.”

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

“I wanted to invent an engine that could run for ever. I could have developed a new train, had I stayed in the railway. It would have looked like the AK-47 though.

I made it to protect the motherland.

I was probably born with some designing abilities.”

Just A Few Laughs

I was talking to a young woman in the VFW last night.

She said, "If you lost a few pounds, had a shave and got your hair cut, you'd look all right.”

I said, “If I did that, I'd be talking to your friends over there instead of you.”

Cost me a fat lip, but...

When you’re seventy..............who cares?

Robert Sargent Shriver Jr November 9, 1915 – January 18, 2011)

Shriver was the driving force behind the creation of the Peace Corps, and founded the Job Corps, Head Start, and other programs as the "architect" of the 1960s "War on Poverty." He was the Democratic Party's nominee for Vice President in the 1972 presidential election.

“Peace requires the simple but powerful recognition that what we have in common as human beings is more important and crucial than what divides us.”

“The most important thing that I know about living is love. Nothing surpasses the benefits received by a human being who makes compassion and love the objective of his or her life. For it is only by compassion and love that anyone fulfills successfully their own life’s journey. Nothing equals love.”

"It is not what you get out of life that counts. It's what you give and what is given from the heart."

"It is well to be prepared for life as it is, but it is better to be prepared to make life better than it is."

"Serve, serve, serve. Because in the end, it will be the servants who save us all."

― Sargent Shriver
