Veterans Day November 11, 2008 * Wars Past & Wars Present * Our Thoughts, Prayers & Tears For Our Fallen Never End--

We Think Therefore We Vote * We Voted For A President Who Stated He Will-- "Promote The Cause Of Peace"

The days are getting shorter, less light, but no shortage of ideas of good people getting together, sharing thoughts & ideas of how to make this a better world.  Much in my garden is dying back, getting ready for that upcoming winter nap.  Bulbs are freshly planted renewing hopes for the promise of spring.  Here in New England springtime is our celebration of color, but not until we get through all aspects of autumn & whatever winter brings......  This winter as we travel our country & urban roads--  slushy, muddy, iced & slick, let us use this time to think & reflect.  How are we going to stay involved & connected with our hopes & our dreams for the United States of America which we know holds the potential of  "our possible dream" ?  I say-- keep doing what we're doing, staying connected, living in the moment by being truthful with ourselves & others, doing our best each & every day & living without regrets.  This is what we've always taught our children & we too must live the lesson honestly & fully.

As I put away the tools & other items of a season passing from my garden, I know that they will be needed once again when winter comes to an end.  In regards to the world & our nation we can not afford the luxury of putting away our progressive thoughts for a future spring, in thoughts of thinking-- "the future is now". 

God Bless the World & God Bless America, please keep us in your Love.

Amen      

* The Promise Of A New Day For America * Taking A New Path * As We Remain Hopeful * Continuing Our Work & Prayers *

VOTE PEACE ELECTION DAY 2008 !

Good evening Citizens of these United States of America--  

Today at my work- a- day world, the High School students were talking about just how Historic this election is.  I was asked by some of our students, "Who did you vote for?" & my answer was--  "It's personal."  When the afternoon arrived one gal almost insisted that I tell her who I voted for.  All I could do was chuckle & smile, -- "I voted for Peace." was my reply.  I think she guessed who I voted for, &  with my hair the way it is--  well it possesses a bit of "afro power", that's just the way it is.

"That's all the news I have to print."  Am hopeful this election does it's thing in an honest way-- voting booths working, people getting to the polls, & a true Democracy taking place here at home.  One can only hope, that each & every vote will count.  "Power to the People!"

Our Historic moment has just arrived---

With just about fifty minutes left to this day-- Congratulations People of the United States we elected a new President-- President Elect Barack Obama!!!!

Wishing You The Treat Of Peace*

Enjoy The Day*

As My Day Comes To an End, So Does The Week*

Busy, busy, some weeks more so than others.....

This week had a suitable pace my turtle essence for the most part was content, slow & steady: Visiting with our eldest son, daughter in law & grand children & catching up with good friends of ole with-- "A Night At The Opera", no Marx brothers in the movie we saw, it was instead-- "Salome".  My important tasks accomplished this week-- food shopping & doing my hair.  Yes these dry frizzy locks of mine, a major challenge, do require a regular dose of intensive care at times, just as making time for walking, either in our woods, or in our neighborhood.  Yet it is always the hair issue that reigns supreme.  I am now a chestnut brown, a bit darker than my usual color, but no major frizz for the time being which is at the top of the list of what's important for me in the hair care territory of my life for today.

                                       

 Contemplating the season as we near the end of October, which for my family is both beautiful & bittersweet, yet it is the beauty that lingers on every October.

Our orange tiger cat Cosmo has been ill for about a week, it seems there is a wound in one of her hind legs that apparently healed, but the toll of the injury has seemingly been too much for her, as she makes contact with us for fewer & fewer times--  yet sometimes surprises us & re emerges from the woods only to disappear again. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

The pictorial postings which will appear are of a mixed venue--  from an evening with our youngest son only last week at a Nature Preserve near Boston--  to a visit with our 25 year old son & our jaunt with him to the Swedish Hill Winery in the Finger Lakes Region of N.Y. , for some October harvest time wine tasting--  to my small yet important "Honey of a Project" compleated for the end of the week of-- "Sweet Tidings"--   being sent to my relatives across the country, [which should arrive by Monday October 27th] in hopes that this Jewish New Year of which we're into of just a few short weeks, continues to bring forth-- "Good Health & Happiness" & of course-- Shalom/Salam, Peace/Always to Everyone!
