Good morning Sheryl!
We all need to be surrounded by love and to join in as we surround others in our love. I imagine Venn diagrams on steroids showing all that love and proving that no one is alone and unsupported!

Looks like war in Latin America is a foregone conclusion. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced Operation SOUTHERN SPEAR (all caps. Why??) on X.
Could it have anything to do with the #EpsteinFiles - nah, that’s a conspiracy theory!

The headline almost says it all, but the subhead includes a small detail - none were convicted of a federal crime. Just another lie.

Kelley crafted a solid argument.
So if rounding up immigrants & deporting them was not about the things listed, then what was/is it about?
Looting the treasury; eliminating various govt departments; making kids starve, or overthrowing the govt.?
Whatever it was.

Good morning, Jaye! Some days we are better at claiming our space at the table, but we never give up. We may be struggling but we persist and truly expect some day to be at the head of the table!
We are proud, competent and determined!
Yay, us!

Thanks, Wylie! Your comment made me laugh out loud and I really needed that.
In return, I’m naming you today’s recipient of the Giant Green Dump Truck of Laughter (GGDT of L) Award!
Thank you for finding the truth that shines through in these very difficult times! I’m a big fan of gallows humor!

Money doesn’t make you healthy, or wise, despite what we’ve been taught. Money doesn’t buy you a place in heaven, no matter your religion.
I think most religions generally agree that taking care of your family & strangers is important. Follow the Golden Rule, don’t follow gold or Marie!

You are not the only person speculating the bunker will be modernized & probably deeper than it is currently. It may reflect #CF47 ‘s taste, w/ lots of gold doohickies. Those pesky Epstein files will be shredded into concrete never to be seen again! This is part of a FB post shared by a friend.

This is the touchstone for each of us. As long as it is true, we can keep going. We may lag a bit, be tired, have second thoughts, but these words printed on a field of pink are what keep us going & reaching out to help each other! I thank each & every one of you who are on this journey with me!

The last roses of summer are blooming this week. There is one more bud on the plant. Once it was one of those miniature roses, a pink one, but that part died out years ago. The root stock it was grown on thrived, tho, and a new yellow rose appeared a few years ago. Life persists!

I knew nothing about it until
Someone photographed & published a full page of the NYT and it was on the bottom. I couldn’t believe what I read - or the headline on No Kings Day!

More in story but esp. amusing is a county exec. filed a complaint which included “National Guard members are supposed to help address emergencies in Tenn. communities, not cause them … The Court should not stand by while the Gov. asserts military power to run roughshod over Tenn. law.”
Karma!

Thanks, Jaye, for showing us what matters!
This is my goal for the week. I find without a goal or a list of to do items, I lose my focus! So I’m going to let it (my worries) be! I won’t file any progress reports.
Let’s hope for everyone’s sake I’m easier to live with this week than last!
