I am sitting here thinking about a comment I received a couple of days ago, about how they love to read my blog journal but that I have to many spelling errors. I know I have spelling errors, as I am a terrible speller, plus add the dyslexia where I reverse the letter, and the fact that my brain has a slower processing speed then so called normal people, is why my spelling is not so good. I have been living with these disablities since the day I was born. My dad used to tell me I am not stupid, but just learn slower then others. So you will have to overlook the spelling errors. Sorry.
Irene has moved on so we can say goodnight Irene. I remember Gloria in 85 and my dad remembers the hurricane of 38. He was still living in Lynn and a student at Tuffs at the time. After the storm he walked the Lynn beach and found a ship’s wheel, which he kept for many years.
My friend just moved to Montana. Lucky girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As she is out of the oven state AZ. It is so beautiful there, from the pictures she has shown me. Someday, I would love to vist Montana and Canada too. I have always wanted to go to Prince Edward Island ever since I read the Anne of Green Gables books as a girl. There are so many places I dream of going. It is one of my pleasures to look at maps of places and pick the places that I would like to visit before I die. I want to go to Skye, Scotland and Ireland and visit Italy too. There are pacific islands I want to visit too. Most likely the only traveling I will do is reading about them and seeing pictures of them. To be able to travel to any place you wanted to go to, would be glorious.
I didn’t go to confession last Saturday, because I would feel I was being a hyprocrit, as when we go to confession it is with the heart of not repeating the sin, and because St. Stevens has a policy of one can’t be considered a Good Catholic at that church unless one gives a certain amount of money, and I don’t have the money to give at the amount they require, then the anger is going to continue. There is one standard for the rich and if you are poor and don’t give the amount of money required, you are nothing. I get more angry when I go to St Stevens, then if I practice my faith at home. I pray the rosary everday, chaplet of Divine Mercy and the daily readings. I miss receiving Holy Communion, but maybe when I move out of AZ to another place, there will be a Catholic church that doesn’t require a certain amount of money to be given to the church, to be considered good enough to be a god parent. I don’t want to be angry with God or the Catholic Church as the last time I got angry because of the same double standard of how a rich Cathoic is treated vs a poor Catholic, that I allowed Jeff into my life and heart. I don’t want to be angry to the point that I out of anger and hurt do something stupid like I did before. It is better that I practice my faith at home and focus on Christ. I like St. Mary’s better, but don’t always have the gas to go, so I can’t really be active, because I might not have the gas to go there and then I would let the choir down, if I decided to sing with them. I know that Jesus and Mary will open the doors that they want open and close the doors they want closed. They will give me the wisdom to know what door they would have me walk through. The courage and strength to face what I must.
The Republican club is having their meeting on the 13th of Sept. Don’t know if I will go. I am a Republican, but am not very happy with the Republican leadership. What is the difference between Republicans and Democrats? Nothing, as they both lie and are corrupted. They have both spent, spent, spent, us into bankruptcy, plus they don’t care that they are living above our means. The debter is always a slave to the one he borrows money from. They have sucked out our strength.
A government like a man must earn the respect of the people. Our government LIES and therefore people don’t trust them. If you can’t trust them, then you don’t respect them. If you don’t respect them, then you can’t follow them. A government or a man, can’t just DEMAND RESPECT BUT MUST EARN RESPECT.
If I thought the Republican leadership listend to the rank and file members, then I might think to continue to fight to save this country, is best served by being part of the Republican party. I am thinking that being active and part of both the two main parties (Democrat or Republican) is a waste of time and energy.
People are tired of this voting for the lesser of two evils, covering up their lies and corruptions, and having a press who doesn’t educate us but only parrots the government lies. They stopped being one of the checks and balances to a corrupt and lying government. Their role as journalists was to tell the truth, and expose the evil deeds so that we the American people could make our government leaders give an accounting for every single lie and evil deed they do because of corruption. They have lost their backbone.
Going to be another hot one today, and another day of an extreme heat warning. Oh, how I miss the New England and Kansas Fall, with the leaves turning. We have no fall here. My friend was saying that Fall is in the air in Montana. She is lucky as she will get to be in snow again. I miss the snow so much. One reason why I don’t want to move to Hawaii is never to see snow again. I am not an endless Summer person. I like my four seasons and lots of snow in the Winter. Yes, my family is there, but the thought of never seeing real Falls and snowy Winters makes me unhappy. I love the ocean so at least I would have the ocean, but no SNOW.
I want to try cross country sking, as I don’t have the balance or cordination for downhill I don’t think.
Well it is getting hot and I need to do some errands before it gets unbearable.
Love and Blessings to all.
Chrisy
