FCC and CBS not simpatico
Now do we boycott CBS because of the end of Colbert?
Very wrong Paramount and CBS!
He can"t speak the truth while Grand Orange lies?
The end of PBS because quality means nothing to them?
They want Education of any kind otber than their idea of it to end?
Spoken as an educator!
Pathetic

Somethings stay the same
It is what is
It is what you want and because it works
Your comfort and soul requires that
Change is not only difficult but the need outweighs the means
Easy to say put it behind you
Another to actually do it
Holding on might be easier for some
Holding on can stifle what you need
You might want something you never considered before
Well enough might be what the universe ordered for you

Your decade or now
Can you feel it?
Sing it at the top of your lungs
Dance to it
Sing loud and proud
Your Song no matter
How you listen
How you sing it
Your Song

Doesn't matter what tbe mountain is
Could literally be a mountain to climb
A dream or obstacle
A long overdue goodbye
You just know it is time
Short lived or subline
Excuses will no longer do it
One step at a time
Fresh attitude

Five tears ago this August we lost our Mom to Covid.
In March 2025 we were in a train derailnent and our car was demolished.
Luckily we were not hurt.
We felt the jolt
2022 Cancer came to call and luckily he beat it.
He is checked by physicians and grateful does not express how we feel.
My book Beautiful Heart does.
Inspite and Despite the News and Politics
We find something joyful everyday.
My dad died in August when I was fifteen
1973 was long ago and I was with him when he passed on
The flashback remains
You move forward but never get over it
He and our Mom watch over us,,their grandchildren and great grandchildren
I detest August but Life Happens
Be grateful,joyful,appreciate your loved ones and friends
That meglomaniac thinks he is the Godtather.
The Godfather left too

She listened intently as he spoke
He lamented about all the children around him
He was related to all of them
He was not their father and he was reminded of what could  have been
Did not want to be there  but the otner seats were taken
Others were at the pool
Her eyes seemed if tears would burst but she nodded for she heard this before
Others there were also family
They knew about it and that adoption never happened
Seems a couple who were the birth parents found out that they were from a different religion so it was rescinded
That stopped them from adopting
Technology now might have given them the child they wanted
Saw her later and hugged her goodbye as well as him
We are family and they are happlily married for many years
No fault of either ,this unfortunately happens to those deserving
Eavesdrop not intended
Sorry it still hurts him but he hurt ber uninentionally too
