Progressive Discusion Fri 13th

  @naturelover that WAS really awesome.

Keeping with a more positive vibe today, Twins Jenna and Laura Bush wrote Sasha and Malia a letter eight years ago when they first came to the White House. They just wrote another open letter to the girls about life after the White House. Good stuff

Happy Friday the 13th to you all, I'm superstitious, about some things but not about the Friday the 13th.  Go figure.

Loved the bird talk yesterday, good change of the channel.  You gals are funny.

Did you all read this?:

Orangeman is starting out to be the most unpopular president before he is even elected........I feel so sorry for Hillary having to sit on the platform on the 20th.  But she will handle it with poise and grace.

Joyce- Things are falling into place for you and your parents, thank goodness, I was really worried about you.  It will be different but doable, it must be strange right now not to be on instant call.

Hi...

Yes, the Bush sisters letter to the Obama girls was a very lovely gesture. I hope the tradition continues. We can learn so much from kids on how to act act in this chaotic time of transition & beyond.

We used to play crack the whip at the city park on a huge cement slab that was also a basketball court. Only, we used roller skates. The kind that had clamps & a key to adjust to your foot. One got whipped around pretty good on roller skates on cement. Many many scraped knees, etc. But oh so much fun , especially at night in the lighted park. Whenever, I drive by that park, which is 13 miles from where I live now, I still see our group of kids playing crack the whip in my mind. Almost like it was yesterday, not some 40-50 years ago. Just a great comfort memory for me. Almost tearing up as I type this. Yes, we all need to hang on for a bumpy nasty ride being provided by Tweetie's & his supporters. But, I just need to hang on to the fact that justice will prevail & all that is good about America will win in the end. It has to, right?

I remember those letters. It makes me smile just remembering what a good feeling I had when they sent them. It was such a nice thing to do and it's just as nice today that they're doing it again. Smiling again am I.

In sticking with that Positive Vibe thing, here's a group of people that don't have a home at the moment. However, they do have a love of music and they love to sing. I try not to use that 'other' word because when we name something, or put a label on it, it can become an acceptable part of society and I simply can't accept that. I kept on feeling guilt then gratitude then happy then sad and finally hopeful while watching.

Recently I've been feeling a tad hopeless but this choir has given me a ray of hope. I hope. lol.
