...been away from internet all day and this makes me nervous

Personally, I am happy where my family are.

Hubby and I have professional jobs with insurance (thank god)

Most times I am able to go to the grocery store and get what I want.

My children are grown and have lives of their own....still waiting on that first GK

We have savings barring a catastrophic illness (which I could at any time)

I turned 63 yesterday and today was my youngest's 27th birthday!

Tomorrow i’ll turn 63.

Scorpios rock!

guess I am just muttering

53 in six hours would be way too much. That’s like, what, every 9 minutes or so?

Happy birthday if so.

Yeah I remember as a kid wondering what 2015 would be like, when I turned 50. Some ways I am amazed, some ways I am severely disappointed.

We should have colonies on Mars now, for instance.

Given the impending climate disaster, I am glad I am not young right now.

Especially when we as a nation have not really even had an honest look at ourselves or honest discussion about our issues with racism, sexism, and worship of money.

We make progress, but the forces that stand to lose their dominance over society (Rich, White, Protestant Men) fight back when they feel we are getting close to a paradigm shift. Remember that we live by rules and principles but they live for power and do not follow the same rules that we live by.

History moves like a pendulum on a rail. It moves in the direction of progress but swings back and forth as it moves toward the future.
