The days keep adding on and never seem to give in. I have tried countless times to get my self settled, focused and here with you. Moments rush in and out. Commitments, classes, conversations that must be had and duties that need fulfilling. This is just life. It is busy and direct.
The whole Life gives you lemons so make lemonade speech is so dated. Life is not that simple as a couple of yellow pretty little lemons. It's tough, ruthless and bites you back. Bite back.
I was recently at a " get together " if you will where 30 or so people attended to honor a man who fought for us, me and you...and everything else.
What was that first step taken to actually knowing and acknowledging that what he was doing would still be here 124 years and counting. HOPE? It must have been the hope of tomorrow's equality and peace.
Without the extensive knowledge about the details of his fight I can only say this:
We are all here to do as much in our 1 day as we can. Whether it's giving a smile where there is pain or a laugh ( even if the pun was missed) to someone who is clearly always giving to you, do your ( my) best to be the example-setter for the next few who will sit here.
What a beautiful November morning. Lighly dressed, fluffy violet scarf, warm coffee, Babs singing on the radio, I look inside my own personal wants and the only arm I see pointed at me is my own. I grab it and hold on, I am the only one that can move myself forward.
This change is still climbing the rotating stairs. ( You know the 4 steps at the gym that never have a top...no climax!) Those stairs....towards ?
