Before the noise of the day even thinks about starting, I slip out of bed, pour that first cup of coffee, and sit with my tree while the season settles into my heart. There’s something about those quiet minutes and soft lights that makes the rest of the day feel gentler and better from the start.

I’m painfully aware of the enemy. The “true” enemy from within: our own government.

“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, "Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.” ~ Lewis Carroll ❄️✨❄️✨❄️

“Nature is forever arriving
and forever departing,
forever approaching,
forever vanishing;
but in her vanishings
there seems to be ever the waving of a hand,
in all her partings
a promise of meetings farther along the road.”

~ Richard Le Gallienne

Hmmm? I don’t know what alt text is. I’m kind of new here, but I wonder if I add it to this reply you could use it?

Thank you, HCR. ❤️ That is truly frightening. This regime must be toppled and it can’t happen soon enough. I’m going to keep the faith that democracy, honor, dignity and decency will ultimately prevail here,and I will not be afraid. Your insight and the information you share is truly priceless. 🙂

I hope this is true, but even if it is, the Supreme Court won’t hold him accountable. 😡

Remember it well! Even when it was VHS tapes for rent. 👵

It's 1999, and Friday night plans start here; wandering the aisles, picking the perfect DVD, and hoping no one else grabbed the last copy of your first choice.

This type of gerrymandering is what Aftyn Behn was up against and she still swung the district 14 points! This is the type of gerrymandering Trump wants to guarantee republicans win yet he wants to lecture us about “rigging” elections.

(Disappointed) BUT Behn told CNNs Kaitlan Collins “This is a testament that Democrats CAN compete in high-turnout elections because we’re seeing a hyper-high turnout right now in a special election. It portends what will happen next year when you have Republicans that are in more competitive seats.”
