ANYONE ELSE TIRED OF THE CURRENT STATE OF AFFAIRS IN THE WORLD- I JUST WANT PEACE FOR ALL

 With the kids back to school, it is time to think about Fall goals.

I find myself watching news and feeling nauseated at times.

The American political scene and the slide into Fascism hurts my soul. To think that the relationship with Canada is permanently severed. 

Then our own politics and the Conservative leader wanting to end the Foreign Worker Program. Hello who do you think picks our food that Canadians do not want to do that work. 

Health Care needs so many workers too.

The wars. The allies with Russia, China and North Korea are scary. What is it about Slovakia? Remember 1968 when Soviet tanks rolled into Czechoslovakia! Now they are divided into two countries.

Keep your friends close but your enemies closer.

People in Ukraine. People in Gaza. The earthquakes in the world.

So I feel helpless often. But not hopeless.

I really do hope that through this chaos we will come out the other side.

SEPTEMBER-THE TRANSITION MONTH-MORE LIKE A NEW YEAR THAN NEW YEAR'S

 September with the beginning of cooler weather brings the the busyness of the month.

Back to School

Back from the cottage.

Meetings start up after a summer break.



Garden needs major cleanup.

For me, waiting for some good monetary news. Trying to plan some new year trips if I have the finances.

Getting rid of stuff and really looking to where the next place would be.

The transition to accept the days are getting shorter again.

But also Birthdays this month to celebrate.

My weight is down due to some exercise and diet control.

So September bring it on.

I am ready.
