Now onto today

A good day was had by me. I am working on an audacious project and I am feeling very fired up about it. I am taking it one step at a time. I have also as always been filling my mind up with other professionals who are doing some aspect of what I am doing and wanting to do, and I am even more pyched by it. It is so great to have that singular focus and drive, and I am just taking it day by day and doing a little for every one. Yey! More soon.

Red, White and boo hoo

I have been doing very well to not look at too much Covid-19 statistics and vaccine information and mis-information, or any politics. But today I could not dodge the absolute insanity that I saw on several stations in the United States as Donald Trump supporters stormed The White House! The white privilege was evident as many terrorized the capital with their actions. One woman was killed, but it cannot be helped to consider that if Barack Obama was in office and had insighted rioters, the armed forces would have made certain to shoot and kill many, many people. However, I would say that it is good that this has happened. The scales are definately off the eys of anyom=ne who may want to believe that America is at peace with itself. Even tonight, as I listen to congress say that violence is not welcome in its house...a country that is very willing to go into other countries with their bombs and guns, welcomed or not. But tonight I had no intention of writing about this. But when my own child calls me anxious about the world because of this, I must write.

All the optimism

That is what a new year is for. It recharges you. It causes introspection. Last night the scattering of fireworks was as exuberant as ever and so close to home. My mother could literally look up from the plantation chair on the patio. Wine flute in hand, the spray of gold and purple burst around her and we felt a sense of elation and sadness at once. The night before she had called out my dad's name in her sleep. She woke up certain that he was in the room. This year the recovery may be slow or may not, but 2020 will loom in the back of our thoughts as so much was learned. So, so much was unexpected. But amidst all of that, I appreciated and I am grateful for the time I was given to dream, because this year is the year to implement much of it. There are two thousand and twenty-one possibilities.
