Every day seems to bring a new low here in the States.

I was 34 years of age when I was first diagnosed with breast cancer, which was treated by having a mastectomy only. My husband decided & I agreed we would not wait for retirement to travel, etc. The blessing was that when we received my MBC diagnosis at 56, we did not have any regrets.

Gorgeous flowers.

Wise advice. It's hard to let go, but I'm working on it.

The first time I heard the term "conflict entrepreneur" used was this week by Utah's governor. This essay on the subject is well worth a listen.

I totally agree with you, Sid. I find it very concerning that people are so consumed with hate for others. Many of the issues across the political spectrum are caused by a total lack of empathy, which allows us to see others as less than human. When we give in to hate, it lessens us as individuals.

You can abhor Charlie Kirk & his beliefs and unequivocally condemn murder. You can do both. It shouldn’t be hard. It’s what grown up, civilized, tolerant people do.

I believe this sets a dangerous precedent for everyone residing in the U.S.

ACLU @aclu.org · Sep 9

Yesterday's Supreme Court decision endangers our communities and subjects people to immigration stops simply because of the color of their skin, occupation, or the language they speak.

This fight isn't over. Our right to live free from racial profiling is fundamental.

Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent." In red text, the quote is attributed to Justice Sonia Sotomayor, Dissenting in Noem v. Perdomo

I often feel that way, too. We've had more rain this summer, but we're still experiencing drought conditions. Wildfires started by dry lightning strikes are always a concern.

Beautiful picture!

Gemma couldn't wait for Randy & Ryzen to go to bed so she could take over his chair. Silly girl! #amping #huntingdogs #dogsofbluesky #Englishsetter #germanwirehair

I think it has helped to regain some of my precancer vocabulary.

As my #MBC has progressed, I have struggled to focus my eyes & brain to read. Encouraged by my niece, I started listening to audio books last fall.
This year, I have listened to 31 books. Who knew a library card could bring so much joy! Just finished Home Front by Kirstin Hannah. #books

Pretty much sums up my feelings on the subject. If your primary source of news talks incessantly about the "liberal left" or the "radical right," you might consider tuning into a different news source.

My crabby cat, Samson, is having some early morning Mom time. Weighing in at 23 pounds, when he wants loved, he just plops on top of whatever dog is in "his spot," encouraging them to vacate. A random barn kitten who joined our menagerie 10 years ago this fall. #catsofbluesky #pets #bestlife
