This has been my life for the last 14 months, 15 maybe, Visiting my elder auntie every week in San Francisco, doing what I can to help her transition to a new chapter in her life, her attitude ever begrudgingly, less independent, maybe one more fall away from the end, Driving from mid-Peninsula after work …

What One Word Describes You? EMPATH
Daily writing promptWhat is one word that describes you?View all responses EMPATH. Didn't know this word until relatively recently, but have lived it more than five decades now, feeling others, connected to others, deep into others, drawn into others, willing to defer to others' needs, wants, wishes, plans, happy to be along for the ride, …
Tillis
This guy, US Senator, standing up for the independence of the United States Federal Reserve, and chairman Jerome Powell. Senator Tillis refuses to vote to confirm a new fed chair, until an investigation -– very likely politically motivated against Powell — is dropped. GOOD. Background? Let’s hear it from ChatGPT…  Thom Tillis is the …
No Denying
It’s getting warmer, no denying, The neigh sayers? They’re just silly…or worse. It didn’t used to be into the 90’s in March. It is now. It’s getting warmer, no denying.
Saint Patrick’s Writing
This man of the 5th century A.D., saint of Ireland, what he meant truly, behind the shamrocks and the snakes chased away, Thus this sum, what he truly stood for, “from the Letter to the Soldiers of Coroticus by Saint Patrick, a strong moral condemnation of violence, injustice, and slavery committed against fellow Christians.

Little Bits of GOOD

Over Ambitious
I tend to be over ambitious, expecting, thinking I can do more than I can, in any given amount of time, the variety, the complexity, no matter… I can get it all done… Until I can’t, then egg on face, Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa, and resetting to real… Real sure I can get it all …
Channeling Sheeran
Writing like a madman, so much to say, creative force with a shock of red on top, all covered in colors, Music and lyric seem to pour out of Ed Sheeran, so fun to listen and watch it happen, My writing difference, not musical, but times the same when it just pours out, pours out, …
So Many, So Much More
This theme on repeat in my head, especially today, so many people struggle and suffer so much more, Current season, practice refreshed, reseeded, pause mid-day prayer, whispered words, a few moments of recall, Recollecting all those living in war zones, All those living with cancer, All those battling their inner demons, mental health spun ‘round, …
