1460 Days

So it appears that hatred, racism, misogyny, xenophobia won #election2016 ?

Sad day for America!!

Rural Americas' primary nucleus is the large cities which it surrounds, not the other way around. Trump ran his campaign on hate. He won by spewing hatred.

His twitter feed looks like a person who is hung over who is a leader of the KKK, not a prospective leader of the greatest country in the world.

Lets all enjoy the popcorn as we witness this man for the next 4 years, 48 months, 1460 days...

Economic Uncertainty

Stretching A Buck

I've always managed finances pretty good, considering that I've never had any formal education classes in economics or finances. I learned my skills early on when it came to managing money. 

 My dearly departed Mom gave me the household responsibilities of shopping, grocery shopping. At the age of ten I was shopping for the family. I remember checking the circulars for the best bargains and reading the labels to do comparative shopping. Math was never my strong suit but stretching a buck is!!

Happy to no longer be stressed...well not completely but I'm slowing gaining my way back to normal, my normal.  The last thirteen years, yeah good old number 13! It hasn't all been bad but its definitely been very stressful. 

I give thanks to God, in Gods Grace Be The Glory! Nothing is easy for anyone but I can say I've had my share of very low valleys. The peaks have been great and I learned how to live in the moment. 

Beyond Sadness

So today November 5th 2016 I had my sweet dog Duke put to rest. He had been sick for a long while. He was blind, deaf, couldn't walk much at all, etc etc. He had been with me for 13 years! Thirteen years worth of love and affection from that little four legged sweetie. I'm so sad behind this. Just in July I had to have my other doggie Darla put to rest so its been a rough time for me regarding two losses. Not to mention other things that are happening that run concurrently with the changing of time.

INVESTORS WHERE ARE YOU?

Ok so here's the thing....I can develop a product & put it out there into the mainstream media & make lots of cash....so how do I do this??
Find an investor....someone who'll be interested in marketing my product.

I'm going to figure this all out....I won't do it before lunch tomorrow but I'll get there!

More to do with less time to do it with.....

The Beauty of Aging

One afternoon while doing my grocery shopping for "one" there was an elderly couple in the supermarket. They were so cute as they strolled up and down the aisles.

They were checking out after me.  I shop at Aldi's, great buys with very good food. While they were having their order rung up the lady answered her cell phone.  From her announcement upon picking the phone up she said in such a cute Motherly, Grandmotherly way..."Sonny boy! We missed you but we'll be back soon." She had so much pep in her voice, the way a loving caring parent responds when they're happy to  hear from their children. 

I would hope and pray to the God of my understanding that I'll have that much pep when I reach my twilight years. I hope and pray even more that my son will finally appreciate me and will have learned to not be the miserable person he is today.

One can only hope.

When you're about to....

I'm sure we've all been there.  You feel like you're about to be finished with something, whether it be your job, your spouse/significant other, where you live, anything that you can change. But then you calm down, regain your composure and take it one day at a time.

I know the feeling.  I've experienced quite a few of them...some all at the same time.  My rule of engagement is this, think about it for a few days.  Sometimes it's not as bad as it appears.  When we make decisions from a non-emotional place they usually tend to work out better.  Now when it comes to affairs of the heart, emotions take over and we often times react in an emotional way.

Breathe, relax, pray and meditate.  Things do work out.  Maybe not exactly the way we want them to but they do.

Until next time! 

Peace & Love to all!!
