Thanksgiving. The long journey across the ocean. Retching. Sickness. Escape from the tyranny. It's why I am here on this continent. Thank you. There was a feast too with the natives. Just like we learned about in grade school. The Pilgrims and the Native Americans eating together. History has taken many wild turns since Europeans first sailed across the ocean to America. We can remember when we arrived that we had help from those that were already here. They fed us and helped us to survive in the New World. We can return to the days when we accepted each other’s comforts and help. Those who were with the land and those that came to a new land. Those that were here and those that eventually had other ideas like expansion. Those differences, those objectives that were not the same, could not be mended at the time. So different in world view, and those that wanted to claim did so ...
Today I am going to write about balance as suggested by my Facebook friends. One thing that comes to mind is a scale. There was an old scale at my step-grandfather's house.

It happens quite frequently too. Some may say, go see a doc. Well, I may, but here I am writing, whic...
Hello friends. I am surrounded by books, pictures, crystals, machine washing, cat, fresh air (as far as I know- the window is open and the birds chirp), all the good things. Some of you may be with your families, or your loved one (who may be driving you crazy), or whatever the case may be- I hope you are well. I am well. It feels good to get out and drive for a bit and then thinking of that frozen Snickers, pass it up and go to the food store you haven't been to in a while and find tp, ice cream, pizza, and several other assorted goodies. I have not yet run out of tp, thank the Maker. You may find yourself watching movies lately. Myself, I've been watching a Star Trek series called Deep Space Nine . I am very glad for it. There are like 7 seasons with at least twenty episodes, about 40 to 45 minutes a piece. That's enough for a while. I usually watch an episode a day, sometimes two when I am really chillaxin. Sometimes you can...
