EVERYTHING'S FINE
Reading
A few nights ago, I watched Amy Poehler on The Tonight Show stating she made a commitment at the first of the year to read 50 books.
WOW
There is no way I could do that, even with all the time I have on my hands now. Plus, I'm addicted to true crime tv shows. What can I say. I like seeing how we kill each other and why. 😃
She brought a few with her and described them. There was a mixture of auto biographies and fiction. She admitted she had read one or two children's books. I'll give her that. Some of those are pretty good. She has read 30 as of August. Will she succeed? Not if she really reads her next selection. War and Peace. Not exactly on The New York Times list. She said she picked it because men she dates eventually ask her if she has read it. Weird. I wouldn't be able to read that in a year let alone a few weeks. But good luck to her.
I have a friend who pledges to complete a certain number of jigsaw puzzles in a year. Have you ever made such a commitment? I would love to hear about it. Comment below.

EVERYTHING'S FINE
Question Everything
I had a conversation with somebody the other day about the upcoming election. I don't want to use this forum to drown you with election hype, but I thought this was interesting enough to share.
They first said they wanted to ask me something because I was smart and knew what was going on. Flattery will get you everywhere. 😁
They wanted to know what I thought of Trump. I'm always curious to why people like him, so I asked, "Why do you like him?"
They sighted inflation worries and the growing promiscuity of women on social media. They said they trusted the Bible that a woman was here to help man and follow his advice.
I let that slide because I refuse to argue about religion. Everybody has their own beliefs and are entitled to them. So, I decided to discuss inflation.
"I've lived a long time, and I've seen inflation come and go." {remember gas lines and rationing in the 80's?}
"Plus, we were dealing with Covid which was worldwide and disrupted commerce bigtime. It took
a while to get everything going again. Corporations lost profit and raised prices like they always do.
How the politicians deal with it is what you should consider."
I told them to do some research and don't just listen to ads. But, most of all, vote
How do you decide who you vote for?

Motivational Crap
I used to buy signs like those pictured above. Some were handmade usually purchased at flea markets and craft fairs. Some were store bought. They adorned my walls and sat on my desk and did their best to keep me going.

In the last few years, I've been downsizing my life and my possessions. I am now living in a nursing home and my space is limited. The only quote I have now is this one.
My mousepad.
Do you have a favorite quote? And has it helped you push through a rough patch in your life's journey?

Until next time, hang in there.
