I'M CRANKY TODAY..............................

I'm having a bad day today....usually....that doesn't happen to me..or if it does....I keep it to myself.

Watching the news about the looting and the hurricane destruction.....makes me sad and angry.

Reading about a dear friends distress over a family members recent suicide....makes me sad and angry.

Getting dragged into other people's messes ..... makes me sad and angry.


Following all the politicians in the news with the bickering, backstabbing, and downright nastiness.....makes me sad and angry.

All the unemployment and entitlement issues in our country.......makes me sad and angry.

All the children in the foster care system whose parent's are totally irresponsible.....makes me sad and angry.

I could go on and on.......
Sometimes.....I wonder if our Forefathers are turning in their graves.....looking at the mess we have made of things.  Oh...I know....we live in the greatest country on earth.....but as people....I feel....we often miss the mark.
Wonder what our CREATOR thinks of all this??


Just me being cranky out-loud before I blow a gasket!!  LOL LOL

Hugs,

Jo

  2. I can feel the same way, too. Sometimes you just have to turn off the TV and throw out the newspapers. My husband watches CNN constantly...it would give me an ulcer. I have my cranky moments but I'm pretty good at distracting myself. Sometimes all you can do is pray.

  3. Jo, I have been feeling this way myself lately. We are supposed to be the most intelligent creatures on this planet but....look what we've done with it. It makes me seriously wonder where we're headed.

  4. Good Morning Jo,
    I totally understand your sadness. When I sit and drink my first cup of coffee in the mornings and watch the news it an sometimes make or break my day.
    Yes, our country is in a sad state and all we can do is pray that we all will be blessed.

    hugs

  5. Sad and angry thing is, all the blowing of gaskets won't fix such messes, just makes us crankier.... So just grab a big handful of pest dust and smile, knowing you're one of the roses among the thorns....xoxo

  6. Sorry you're having a rough time of it, Jo. Wish I had some extra pest dust for you, but try to hang in there. I don't think it can get much worse than it is, so it just has to get better. Our forefathers must be pretty tired of all that spinning.

  7. Get it OUT there, girl, so you can be rid of it. It is hard sometimes to not stress out over all that is going on around us. I hope you feel more peaceful now that you have written it out! xo Diana

  9. Perhaps our Creator...is SAD and angry.
    To see how humanity is being lost.

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate.  Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive.   I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1.  Listing our current home the end of the first week in November.  We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance.  We just want to be able to live more and work less.  Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there.   2.  Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest.  We will visit 5 countries along the way.  One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany.  My  family  left Germany right after the war...when I was quite young.  Memories are almos

PUTTING ON MY GYPSY SHOES......................

Bo Bunny Paper Collection Well.......the coach is packed...the laundry done in the condo....and we will be on our way tomorrow. I often do feel like a gypsy moving from one spot to another....and each year my gratitude grows as I am able to continue this lifestyle. I truly would love to "do up" my coach in Gypsy Style...but alas....not too practical as things probably would be flying all over as we traveled down the road.  (O: But.....a girl can dream.....can't she? ~~~ My suitcase is packed with memories To be opened further down the road When my caravan must be halted The bag waits to be opened Stories to be told and shared Like the gypsy's of so long ago But for now....the wheels keep turning And my case grows larger still Waiting for the day..I must be stopped   And my heart, to the brim, will be filled Hugs from me to you, Jo Gypsy photos:  Electric Gipsyland on Flickr

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is a picture of our little tree this year.  Each year our trees seem to be smaller, a function of our getting older and just wanting to deal with less stuff.  I'm sure a few of you feel them same.  Although it does seem to be a little weird that we want to deal with fewer Christmas decorations and give each other MORE STUFF in the way of presents under the tree.   Ahhh...being human is such a quandary sometimes!                                          MERRY CHRISTMAS                                                          Jo
