I woke up a bit after one and started thinking. Something I saw over and over on the news made me think. Not sure if middle of the night thinking does anyone any good but here goes.
Oprah went to campaign for the Democrat running for governor in GA. Well Oprah always was interesting so I watched some of her speech. If I got it right she is an Independent voter, does no0t live in GA. Now as far as I could figure out Oprah does not know Stacy Abrams (I had to google her) and I guess she took Will Ferrell along with her.
So I am wondering the how and why of all of this, did God whisper in her ear? Is she psychic? I am sorry but I am stumped here. First of all Oprahs knows as much about Ms Stacy's qualifications as I do which you can put in a thimble and still have room, but unlike me she had to go and support this lady.
Oprah votes in Independent as I do, uses common sense to figure out who to vote for, but still had to go and help this unknown to most of America win the GA governor election. For what reason I wonder, Oh yeah Oprah did mention it would be historical to have this lady win as the first black woman to be a governor in America. I get that but shouldn't people vote for the candidate's knowledge and experience instead of her skin color?
After thinking hard about this happening I concluded Oprah is either a history maker or racist. I gave her a pass when she wanted former President Obama to be President, I thought she probably knew him and of course you cheer for your friends. Now I am rethinking the reason she was for him, was it the color of his skin?
So here I was lying in my bed in the middle of the night wondering should I be voting on skin color and not on anything else after all I am 1% African in my DNA. Have I been voting for the wrong reasons for all my voting years?

As Time Goes By
These
are the days of my life
When
I was young I wondered why
Then
as a teen I did my part
As
a wife I wondered why
The
day came when I knew
I
had done my part
In
middle age I was asked
How
did you get so smart?
That
man stole my heart
Then
the day came
When
I had to say goodbye
Again
I wondered why
Now
in my old age
I
know I did my part
Now
I am finding
That
living alone
Is
not so bad
Reliving
the days of my life.

A Mixed up heart
This morning started with good mornings from teo grand daughters while theyw aited for the school bus.
Then sad because myy aunts obituary was posted reminding me of my loss of a great lady.
Then I ran across a picture of my 7 living adult children, there is no greater love than my love for them.
A sad moment when I wished son Lee was with them, then Irealized he is in a better place.
Then I turned on FNS for the hearing for supreme court which in my mind is more important than congress or President, what I heard and saw was childish jabbering from a few liberals making a mockery of a for me serious hearing.
I turned it off and turned on Food and learned to put crumpled foil under pork chops, now I have to wait and see why.
Every night after prayers I do Tapping , for anyone having trouble sleeping or not letting mind slow down look this up, it works for me.
I have a hard time realizing I am old, physically limited and have to be careful of falling, I am a bit tippy ( not tipsy), simple things that can not be done are hard for me to admit to be able to do.
I decided a conference text to all my children to give me a day so I am able to do more than I can now due to bad furniture arrangement.
I need to let go of my anger at things I can not help change or is it more like frustration
My prayer list is getting pretty long so I take a minute a few times
during the day to pray for people that seem to have lost common sense and caring for others in a good way.
One thing I do miss is the very interesting people that I interacted with on Multiply, loved the challenges.
Hope all has a nice day.

Lucky one
I realize
I am a lucky one
Sometimes
it takes years to see
Now I not
only see but know
Unhappy,
feeling alone
Growing
was hard for me
I did not
have nice clothes
Many times
I was made fun of
Never had
the chance for friends
Too many
changes of schools
I did not
have vacations
Brothers
Dale and Mike
Made our
summers magic
Sometimes food
was scarce
Brothers
Dale and Mike
Helped mom
make sure we ate
Dale, Mike
and Betty taught me to read
No one
knew I could not see
One day
someone noticed
My first
day with glasses
Was
amazing what was a blur
Clearly seeing what
I had missed
Then I could
see to read
And read I
did
My grades
went up
I could
learn..
I am the
lucky one
For all of the people in my life
Taught me
to think for myself
Dad said
there is nothing you can’t do
Mom said,
when people are talking
There
always is something
They do
not want you to know
Betty
taught me style
Betty said
Theresa you can write
Thankfully Betty was right
Dale and
Mike could draw,
They
taught me it is just lines
They were
right
We just never
know
The little things in life
Makes such
a difference
Mom and
dad made sure we learned
They said
think for yourself
Believe
none of what you hear
And half
of what you see.
One day I
realized the treasures
All the things
my family had given me
Makes me
realize I am the lucky one.

A part of life
Today has been a tough day, well lets say the month of August has also been tough.One of my favorite people my aunt Alice age 91 passed on to God this morning , she went at peace and without pain. she was married to my dad's brother Uncle Conrad better known as uncle Coonie.I have no idea why he was called Coonie except that he was junior.
I got the notice early this morning then went to FB and a woman I have never met wrote a very long hate filled comment on my post. It had nothing to do with my post. I answered her politely and explained how it pained me,because I was already deeply sad about my Aunt. Either her brain kicked in or FB deleted it.
Why is it some people are so filled with hate that they feel they have the right to say hateful trash for other people to read. I do not get it. She wrote "You can throw bombs at me all you want", I am not even sure what she meant, I just said I do not throw bombs at anyone.
Thursday my cousin and I stopped and had coffee with another favorite cousin who is waiting to get to Mayo clinic for diagnosis of pancreatic tumors are they cancer or not but it breaks my heart for him and his family. I guess when we age we will have these things happen to us but it seems my prayers at night include as many young children along with the elders.
Of course all of the stress is not helping my auto immune flare up of what the specialists are not decided on, but are treating with steroids,I do not believe that stress helps with flare ups. I am trying tapping to help relax and think it seems to help, I sure hope so.
My writing from Yesterday;
There is a time to cry
A time to laugh
A time to remember
A time for memories
A time to love
A time to mourn
A time for the final rest
A time when there is peace
A time to know love never dies.

My day is a hard one for me
I have been fighting autoimmune disorders for years, and My body is getting tired or is it my brain...I have no idea but I find myself wanting to cry today. Waking up in the middle of the night with my body in a flare cause extreme pain and discomfort was the start of it.
So many loved ones have passed on, some are fighting the cancer battle, some are losing themselves into the past.I pray every night,I find myself talking to God during the daytime lately also. I realized this morning something I had forgotten, God does answer prayers but sometimes the answer is no and I need to accept that.
I am writing and fighting the grumpy state I seem to be in, coming to terms to the pain and the mental anguish and let God do what God is going to do. I am getting the urge to paint again but what is not quite there yet, hoping it will be soon coming...

As we go through the journey of our lives
There will be many forks in the road
Things will happen that test our strength
Just remember you never walk alone
There is always someone by your side

Things will happen that test our strength
Just remember you never walk alone
There is always someone by your side
When the journey feels like too much
Let it go and let God
Let it go and let God

Blogger after Multiply
I see the same people here that I interacted with on Multiply and it puzzles me that there is no response from them on my posts. I hope its not political because would be childish, I hope its not that I am totally boring,If that is the case please tell me
I do live alone, call myself a hermit because of the lack of interacting with the world, my saving grace is blogging, Fb etc. I enjoy reading other posts, other ideas, other place and people..
I will keep on writing as long as my old fingers and brain allow me to. So have a great day all of you out there in Blogger land!
