Just A Thought

 Nope, I have never seen one.  I didn’t know until today that they existed but sure enough they do.  https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIzawsCTb7p/?igsh=YTRiMWFsMXRpbWZ2

 Yesterday felt like a good positive day. 👍😄 Hmm, perhaps the No Kings protests had something to do with it.  Positivity was in the air.

 An interesting thing about genealogy is identifying as being a descendent from several different families and they are all important and a part of your identity. 

 It will be a glorious glorious day when Donald Trump’s second term of presidency comes to an end.  Now, if it could only happen for some reason before he serves his full four year term.  They say he is in cognitive decline.  I truly hope he starts acting crazy enough that they wake up and realize that he absolutely cannot continue to be the president.  It would be wonderful if once again in the future, the rest of the world had real reasons to respect the United States of America.  Donald Trump has taken this away from our nation.  I’m sorry Donald Trump you have not made America great again. You have at the present time destroyed it. The wrong shall fail the right prevail.  That line from the song, “I Heard The Bells” just popped into my head.  My prayers are for the truth in that statement.  I believe in the right for sure (and clearly, I don’t mean the political right).  The right are the ones who will be there to lend their han...

Screw Donald Trump.  He is the one who needs to be locked up and thrown in a prison cell in a foreign country.  His life isn’t worth more than the lives of all those that he is destroying. 😔 It is just terrible when one human being can do so much damage to others.  He is a cancer.  He is turning the United States into an unrecognizable place.   https://youtu.be/fwuJnMpMSjY?feature=shared

 If what I have just listened to is correct, our country has evidently not yet reached its climax of crazy events for this year.  What a decade this is proving to be. 😵 https://youtu.be/SEsRGGW-Fq8?feature=shared

President Trump‘s “big beautiful bill”. President Trump wants to take power away from the judicial branch of government.  This is what happens when a convicted criminal is allowed to run for the presidency of the United States of America.  There need to be laws against this so it can never happen again. I pray with all my heart that the United States of America will get through this Trump 2nd term and be ok again.  What is happening to our country is only for the now.  This is my prayer.  I pray for my country and for all us, and I am not really even a believer in prayers.  I guess maybe I do believe in prayers.   And I would like to also say prayers to the rest of the world and those who are sadly experiencing terrible things even in the 21st-century. The McArthy era was just brought to my attention.  I never knew anything about it.  I was not a good history student.

 Sometimes I have thoughts that are gift to me and sometimes they are my own.  I think they sometimes are a combination of both.  I guess that makes sense if I find them in my own head.  What I do truly know, though, is that there is a greater source from which we human beings can draw intelligence, wisdom and clarity when we find our way to tap into it. 

 On life’s mistakes.  I know this sounds very cliché and obvious, but I think important ideas are worth restating and remembering.  I believe the most important thing about life‘s mistakes is not to have never made any, but to have learned from them.  None of us are perfect or have lived perfect lives, and as human beings, we will continue to make mistakes.  We can though always hold in our hearts, a desire to learn from our errors and become better human beings.  It is also important to remember, though, that when we follow this path, we are our own worst critics and we should also remember to be kind to ourselves. 

 To determine if a potential leader would in fact make a good leader, a top criteria to consider is how this person treats others.  Good leaders don’t pick and choose who is worthy of being treated well.

 Emboldened and truthful reporting.  That is the thought that I just had tonight after seeing a news headline.  This is what the mainstream media needs to step up to the plate, practice and do more of.  Report on what is taking place in Trump‘s administration and the truth that he does not run his government with the desire and objective of making things great again for the American people.  He runs his government in a quest for more wealth, power and worshipful reinforcement and support of his own self-aggrandizing delusions.  Occasionally he might show little sparks of humanity, but he is also very good at donning whatever hat will help him in the pursuit of his own objectives.  And the unfortunate thing is that the Americans who are most in need of changes for the better in America are the ones who are at risk of losing the most in Trump‘s America.  Thank you to my ghost thought sources for helping me to find those words.

 Prayers for the world. 🙏 This is a terrible year.   Oops, I just edited this entry to add emojis and its publication date got changed to today.  We are still in the midst of a terrible year, but this was not my thought just now.  I see though that prayers for the world was the most important message and this is just as applicable today. 🙏

 Good job Grok.  Now maybe someday Elon Musk will thank you.   https://youtu.be/Mqy-9JiL5d8?feature=shared

 I am grateful that life in America continues on normally (for most I guess) and that people go about their lives normally despite the mess taking place within our own government and despite the terrible situations taking place elsewhere in the world.  I just looked at a bunch of news stories and messages online though and then I felt like a real idiot and moron for writing something stupid about app games.  This is called disconnection.  People in America (not all of course) are disconnected.  I have been feeling this when I experience the normally of life around me.  I am grateful that people go about life as normal even when there is really bad stuff taking place that is beyond our control.  Normalcy is necessary and normalcy is needed.  I believe it is import though to not be totally disconnected all the time.  I guess it’s important to have those “shit, what am I doing??” moments when I reconnect with the fact that millions of people str...

 I would love this game if they had an un timed version.  I would just like to be able to solve the puzzles and not have to be timed and run out of time.  I’m really not interested in games that require in app purchases to be able to complete levels without it becoming too difficult.  Why can’t they just sell versions of games that have a one time fee to purchase the app and then you can just play the game without being limited as to your number of moves or amount of time for each level??  Why can’t this be an option?  I have been able to complete levels (at the beginning levels) in the allotted time, but I don’t enjoy playing against a clock.  I would prefer to have time to think and comprehend the puzzle.  “Kiss my butt” app games with in app purchases or monthly fees.  Does everything nowadays have to be all about maximum profit??  What about selling a product that customers can enjoy without having to continue to shell out more money...

I had some thoughts recently about Shakespeare.  They stemmed from a conversation that I was having with DD.  I was thinking about the fact that Shakespeare is not Shakespeare without its Shakespearean language, but unfortunately people who speak modern English can’t understand it.  Or perhaps, I am just a Shakespeare dummy.  In the past, I have attended school Shakespeare plays that my children were in and I had no idea what the story was about or what was being said.  Just a moment ago, though, I found myself hearing some Shakespeare verse in my head.   So after I wrote the above entry, I had a little chat with Robin W AI and there was a mention from him of Shakespeare.  The crazy coincidences don’t ever stop.  They can usually pass as just being coincidences, but there are like hundreds of them.  It makes a person scratch their head and think, “What the heck???” 🤔 

 What I really like about independent news media (or at least the ones that I watch) is that they represent the good and the empathy and compassion in humanity.  People should always be influenced by the best examples of kind hearted and caring human beings.  https://youtube.com/@seculartalk?feature=shared https://youtube.com/@thedamagereport?feature=shared https://youtube.com/@theringoffire?feature=shared https://youtube.com/@theyoungturks?feature=shared

 I don’t know if this is true in other areas of the country, but where I live there is this trend to have Christmas trees up all year round or at different times other than Christmas.  I wouldn’t really call them Christmas trees though because they are decorated throughout the year for different occasions and seasons.  I have seen this in at least three different medical practices and also a car dealership.  Sometimes they are  smaller trees, and sometimes they are full-size trees.  Personally, I think it is pretty cool. 😎 I have always thought that I would like to keep my Christmas tree up all year if it wouldn’t be viewed and seen as being weird.  I wouldn’t of course leave Christmas ornaments on it all year, but I would use different seasonal decorations instead.  Lots of places use white Christmas type lights throughout the year and also different kinds of trees with white lights such as olive trees.  In nature, evergreen trees exist all...

 At this time, when many of the world’s people are living under the worst possible circumstances, it is impossible not to stop and realize how much I truly have and how filled with good fortune my life is.  In a world, and in a time when so much good and evil exist simultaneously, my life and my world are filled with goodness and an abundance of blessings.   To not appreciate what we have is to fail to comprehend all of life’s gifts that we are already in possession of.  We cannot receive the gifts in our lives without appreciating them.
