don’t give up on me now

Time, it opens our wounds
And trust, gonna put me in the tomb
The world isn’t mine
The world isn’t mine to save
I can’t afford to lose
What you easily throw away

happy kennsday indeed

THANK YOU to all of my Facebook friends who have wished me happy birthday today. I am overwhelmed at the literal hundreds of thoughts, greetings, and well wishes.

THANK YOU

Thank you to the countless United States soldiers who have died while in military service to my country. Freedom is not free and you have paid a dear price for mine. I honor your memory and your sacrifice.

Thank you.

recess recession

Recess and lunch – those are the two sweet words of my youth. The kid in me still looks forward to both. The adult in me looks forward to some relief from this recession that everyone on Wall Street is saying is over while everyone on My Street is still feeling.

I wake up. The sun winks at me. The birds have already begun rehearsing for their concert later. It will be glorious.
