GROWTH

Our world is alive. All things that live continually grow in some manner from the lowest single cell mass to the most evolved, highly intelligent being.  So it is even with the typical family.  In the thirties my mother and father united and a family began to grow or emerge.  My own family growth started […]

PURPLE

ROY G BIV was the easy way I was taught the color spectrum of light. I remember when looking upward at a rainbow I would diligently try to pick the lines of these different colors.  After the storm clouds vanished we would spot the rainbow that gave us reinforcement of the promise for prevailing calm […]

TRANSITION

In case you haven’t heard, the election is over. Mr. Trump and the Republican Party won.  It’s time to stop the temper tantrums, the name calling and untruthful rhetoric being spewed.  This country has an election for President every four years.  Sometimes the party or individual I support wins, other times they don’t.  We need […]

CELEBRATE

Two weeks from today I am planning on celebrating. Hopefully it will be a twofold or double celebration.  Two weeks from today this farce of an election will be over and life can maybe return to some level of stability.  I think we will be celebrating the election of an outsider to the office of […]
