Well, a thoughtful Monday to everyone. Especially this date…9/11.

Yes, there are many big issues in our world, yes, the young are troubled, yes, some prices are higher, yes, gas costs more, but not as much as long ago, yes, the homeless numbers are growing, without low-cost shelter, yes, there is a new variant of covid, yes, poor nations suffer from autocratic, incredibly selfish leaders, and yes, there is much to ponder on this very significant day.

And yet, so many of these problems arose during the last four years of T, when the rich got richer and the needs of social services, education, infrastructure repair, lower medical costs and affordable housing were too often ignored by the GOP. Sometimes it’s hard to find any love for politics.

But all of us love this woman.

Keeping this in mind, maybe, just maybe we can move forward, together. I wish bipartisan decidsions were a more common occurence among both parties.

But to cheer me up, my uncle Dan sent this hilarious book to mama and ME.  We giggle every time we open it!

(By the way, the author is an avid bird-watcher and lover of birds.)
