… and it was evening, and it was morning …
It was evening, and it is morning of the sixth day.
Preparation day
Friday
The blood of outrages has cooled to a mere sullen simmer. I will NOT turn on the news feeds today. I do not care who is outraged about what. I am disenfranchised and silenced, but oddly, it is a blessing. Once again, I am reminded that government is not my boon, but is more akin to living under Caligula. Let the blind lead the blind. I must be about my master’s business.
So goes the musing this morning.
I am reminded today that politics is not something you willingly deal with. It is best avoided like an ill-mannered boor. It isn’t always possible to avoid an oaf, and so on those occasions you smile, offer blandishments, and drift off as quickly as possible.
Near sundown, I will sit with my family at the Shabbat meal and recite ancient blessings, and remember that for all of us, there is a day when we cease from our labors. That is my mantra these days. Hold fast to what little I have in the hope that I am counted worthy.
And this morning, I certainly feel like I have little.

I always answer over there but I will say I love that picture you posted with this. Look how relaxing it is. Much better if you go outside and just re-connect with the Creator and His handiwork. Even if that is not your picture, or is it? I bet you can see something just as beautiful out your back door and it doesn’t involve politics or liars 😉

Unfortunately my once beautiful backyard view was taken over by a 10 wide trailer my neighbor set up for his boy, so now I just ‘borrow’ sunrise pictures. But usually from public domain sites …

Well that is okay. You can borrow mine anytime I post them ❤ But mostly I do sunsets ! But either way, they are free. 🙂

You have Snookums. You have upwards of 13,000 pots of perfect coffee, pecan waffles, adoring pups and a bluegrass loving budgie. You have a past to remember and a future to come. You have much.

Let it run, it will run itself out eventually. And, as for the coffee, math was never my strong suit.

This, too, shall pass … or so they say. I’ve lost faith in “they.” Have a peaceful weekend, my friend.

I am trying to stay peaceful, but it is hard when I am seething in outrage …
The same for you, MzD ….
