I am so glad that I grew up in a time when making things from scratch, having fun (& a life) w/o tech., gardening and community, was just life. Never lose your laughter and help those who need some. Be a kind neighbor - always!

A little light reading and something a wee bit positive

The pit of evil spews its minions upon the land. Honey masks the vinegar flowing from its lips. Ignorance laps it up. Deja vu reminds us, been there, did that in 1775-1783. Is it ironic that some of the Articles spoke of times to come? For the hearts of men lust for power on the bones of the people.

. . . and, just like that, the dark ages returned with a vengeance. . .

Happy New Year everyone!! You have 365 individual days to do 365 single acts of kindness, give 365 smiles, 365 days to do an act of service to another, and 365 days to show yourself love, kindness, and tenderness. Strive to do the best you can every day, after all, you have 365 of them.

Life is beautiful when you look at it simply. Find happiness by standing still for just a moment.
