I agree with Rand Paul? What's the world coming to?
Rand Paul: "This is an insane policy. It's inconsistent. It's not war. It's not the way we've ever done this. If we can blow up a boat in the ocean, what about when they get to Miami & put it in a truck? Can you shoot a grenade launcher at the truck? No! We arrest people b/c sometimes we're wrong."

Few Americans remember that, before the ACA, aka Obamacare, we were denied health insurance due to pre-existing conditions. We applied, but were denied for any condition we ever had, including headaches or asthma. It was only Obamacare that did away with that.

Did you know this? It was written in 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis. It was meant as a call for worldwide prayer for peace, resonating deeply due to the very real threat of nuclear war at the time.

Good morning! A favorite quote:

"Given another shot at life, I would seize every minute of it - look at it and really see it, try it on, live it, exhaust it … and never give that minute back until there was nothing left of it."

—Erma Bombeck 🧡

“Stars give the illusion of permanence, but they're always flaring up and caving in and going out. So I pretend. Worlds don't last; and stars and galaxies are transient, fleeting things that twinkle like fireflies and vanish into cold and dust.

But I can pretend.” -Neil Gaiman*

This is a heart-shaped mud puddle that appears on the side of one of our streets in town every single year after the first rainfall. If you ever wonder what I mean when I say that beauty is everywhere, waiting for us to notice, this is one example. 🥰

"When you do something noble and beautiful and nobody noticed, do not be sad. For the sun every morning is a beautiful spectacle and yet most of the audience still sleeps.”

My Dad was there that day.

The day that 2,403 service members and civilians were killed.

"The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war." -Gen. MacArthur

Good morning, Friends. Thought for the day:

“You can live three days without water. You can live three weeks without food. But you cannot live for three minutes without hope.” 🩷💚

Merry Everything and a Happy New Forever! 🥰

It's feeling very wintry these days, what with California-cold temps and pink sunrises. Bundle up, buttercups.

It's night before it's afternoon.
December is here before it's June.
My goodness how the time has flewn."
