life safari 7/2/08

So much hurt and heart ache in the news and with folks all around. I wish I could blink my eyes and make things ok and happy.

The news stated that Israel may go to war with Iran over their nuclear weapons advanced and the U.S. is talking about how hurd it will be for us (U.S.A.) to be spread out in another conflict in yet another country. HELLO !!!!!!

Who, when did anyone invite us to go in there and fight? Why do we think we are supposed to fight in every skirmish that comes along? I am so sick of this B. S. of war and interference. Where does it get us? More young men and women in coffins for no good reason.

It seems as though our country is trying to self-destruct. If these 3 and 4 Star Generals want to fight so damn badly, why don't they go into the combat and leave the innocent majority of soldiers to go home to their families-alive. There has not been anyone threatening our borders since 2001. This is now 2008. Ben Laden isn't even a good reason any more.

On a happier note, a company has now made (like-plastic) bottles out of corn - totally bio-degradable. I am in awe. It will save a ton of oil.

Wish List:

to have a greater faith and trust in God
to love my fellow-man (woman) more
to be more charitable and kind
to smile more, love more, be more patient
to do the right thing just because it's the right thing to do
to do something special for someone else that no one finds out about
to have a clear conscience, no axes to grind with anyone
to wish other's all the happiness, prosperity and Grace that I want for myself
to hug that little Precious gift that God gave me tonight and hope that all the little dogs and cats are in their homes and out of harm's way

I am also Grateful and Thankful that I have these wishes tonight
thank YOU

life safari 2008z

Oh, what wonderful rain and cold wind this afternoon. It was marvelous.

After church had a wonderful lunch and long visit with a couple of friends from church. Coming home I got to enjoy that great cold breeze and lighting show. The rain finally started and, I was reluctant to roll up my car window on the passenger side. When it really began coming down hard, I had to.

I have had a relatively quiet and uneventful weekend. Actually, I have been having the same kind for some weeks now. It is just too hot, I have gotten too heavy and I just don't much care about straying too far from my base.

Another work week begins but - Friday off ! Yeah, I can dig it.

I am Grateful and Thankful for...

too many things and far too much to even put into words (for a change)
thank YOU
