A good definition

I don't suffer fools lightly.

Oh...so true.

Dear Universe,

Bang...bang...bang...

That is the sound of my head against the wall.  I don't get it...I really don't get it.

Me and Change

So for the past 4.5 years my life has been in a huge flux of change.  I know I am suppose to embrace it but sometimes I really just can't.  Yesterday was one of those days for me.  I don't mind change in small chunks but when it comes through as the size of an iceberg that sunk the Titanic....ummmm.....yeah no.

I know people need to find new paths to take but Mongolia? Now?  Not a happy camper.

Ireland is in my heart and in my soul.  It makes me smile and makes me dream. I am connected there.  I feel home there. Today, I wish I was there.

I wish you all a Happy St. Patrick's Day.

A funny thing that made me smile today

...someone brought me tea.

What is important....and what isn't.

As I scanned the days headlines, one stopped me and made me think.  A person that I never met passed away at 110 years old.  It was Frank Buckles, the last U.S. World War I veteran. Now for many, this event will go unnoticed.  Sad actually.  Besides representing a generation from long ago, he was fighting for the re-dedication of WWI memorial in Washington, D.C. into a memorial honoring all Americans who served in the war. The D.C. monument honored the local residents who fought in World War I. The sad thing is, he never got it.  Our voted in members of Congress seem to fight for pork fat but don't seem to realize that many have fought for freedom.  Unfortunately we are in a day and age where we as a society are ruled by our fears instead of our hearts.  Have we really become so selfish, self-centered and jaded that we forget that many a soldier died in the Argonne Forest?  Looks like it.  Our nation and our Congress need to bow their heads in shame.

It is time to learn from history instead of turning away from it.

Please....

Blame someone else and get on with your life.
