I have had people question my use of a walker. What can I say? Some people think it is up to them to police the use of mobility aids. Shaking my head over here.

Just turned 70 & am familiar with 95% of what is on this list. Reading this felt like a walk down memory lane & reminded me just how much the world has changed. I do miss some things like the slower pace of life we once enjoyed. Even so I don't want to go back. www.buzzfeed.com/briangalindo...

Hey with all of this “buy Canadian” as a response to the tariffs, can we also remember to READ CANADIAN. Canadian publishers will struggle to distribute books to the US, and Canadian authors struggle to get published there. American authors have a much easier time to be published here. Soooo….

I believe that what I focus on grows, but am finding it hard to look away as you know who takes over as president. I invite you to join me in spending time focusing on this photo. Every time I look at it I am reminded that I can return to the light by shifting my focus and it's okay to rest.

I am totally lost here and don't yet know how Blue Sky works but am grateful for an alternative as I participate in the Meta Blackout. I may leave Meta for good. I am afraid of what is coming... trying to stay with hope and checking in on you all.
