Times Are Changing


 Have you noticed packages of items are shrinking while prices are rising?  This has been happening for decades, but now it is at epidemic proportions.  Because I'm not willing to be robbed.  If the item changed my shopping habits and regularly check prices compared to the weight and size of the package.  Many products are now off of my list because I'm not willing to spend my money making someone rich.

Are you confused because my last paragraph is skewed?  I'm not going to change it.  Confusion and not knowing what to believe are the tools that cause good people to do nothing to change injustice and heavy-handed manipulation of folks who are considered cattle.  

What are you passionate about?  If there was nothing holding you back, what would you want to do to make things better?  I do not believe in violence as much as possible, but using our heads is our best defense of liberty.  There is enough for everyone, kindness goes a long way, helping each other makes light work and we can progress together better than by ourselves.

Everyone has talent and together we can make what is needed and barter.  We don't need plastic or currency.  We need each other to share and support each other.


Beware the negative and the darkness because it will eat you alive.  When good men and women do the right things beneficial progress can be made.  When you don't have bread, make cake.

I'm Back!


 Writing something consistently can be a challenge for me.  First I need to remember to do this.  I remembered!  The next challenge is figuring out what to write.  Math is not one of my strengths, but writing, I can do reasonably well.  So, go figure!  

I would like someday to raise chickens.  With my friend's help, I hope this will be a reality sometime next spring.  Currently, I'm raising insects because these are easy to farm and they will help me stretch the chicken food budget.

In the beginning, I will probably need to have a cattle panel structure for the chickens and eventually upgrade this as volunteer help and finances allow.

Any suggestions are welcome.

My Return

Three years of medical issues and other life challenges prevented me from writing.  Before this, in 2016 I moved, I had to adjust and settle into my new home and living area, and this took much longer than I expected. 


long story short, blogging became an item waiting for my attention.  Some people might consider this a failure, but I consider this an adventure with words that is available whenever and wherever I am able to jump in and share with everyone.  The word "whatever" has its place here because although I intend to blog regularly, things happen or don't.  This is life for everyone.  Failure is what you make it.  It can be a learning experience worth a fortune or it...well, let us not go there.  I prefer focusing on the positive.  interruption be they brief or long term can be a positive force also because sometimes taking a break, or finding new and exciting information or activities can inspire me and anyone to continue whatever the task with new enthusiasm and vigor.  What is most important is not how many times you fall/fail, but how quickly you adapt and get up to continue your adventure in whatever you are doing.  What are you passionate about?


I have many interests and some of them I am passionate about.  And, I expect you are wondering what these are and what I do each day.  Well, common, I'll share with you many things.  Whatever you do, I hope you enjoy each day, have safe travels, and many blessings.


One of my passions is insects.  They are beneficial and interesting to watch, and even the so-called pest insects have a purpose.   Being a pest has a lot to do with the environment, the foods that insects eat, what they do in their environment, and other factors.  If insects aren't your thing, that is perfectly ok.  


I like animals such as dogs, cats, livestock, and of course exotics.  Art and music are also wonderful.  Computers and the internet are a part of my life every day.  disABILITY or ability in a unique way also is near and dear to me.  There will probably be more here but it's hot, my brain is cooked more than it likes, and I need to rest.


Hard work or better yet working smart is ok, but taking time for yourself such as resting and enjoying a refreshing drink, meal, or time with a friend will do a lot for productivity and more enjoyable life.


I will not promise how often I will write to you, but my plans are to keep in touch regularly.  About once a week is a good place to start.


Do you blog or write?

Safe travels and many blessings.
