Almost cooler!


It won't be long before the nights are cooler and the days shorter and maybe we can stop sweating. These days are good in the morning, for walking, working in the yard. The outdoors gives you a sense of peace and contentment and time to meditate or daydream. Its good for the soul, just like cats, dogs and horses. The smell of grass, trees , dirt, fires in the fireplace, reminding me of how very blessed and lucky we are to be here in this time and this place. Everywhere I go and stand or wait or be in a place where there are people..I hear a lot about politics and the people running for office. Mostly what I hear is the discontent about not having someone running that is close to the real people. The working crowd, the retired people, the middle american that is finding things so hard to achieve anymore. I hear that we need a third party and someone that remembers their roots and where they came from, working class or affluent, just someone to be their champion. The politicians stay in office too long, get corrupted and forget. People are saying their health care cost too much, even if you save in a 401K, IrA or savings or put money away in mutual funds, you can't make it because things not even realted to this country are having such an effect on our own stock market and thats what those funds are invested in.
There is way too much money being raised by the candidates and no revealing where that money came from. If it came from big business or foreign business or someplace unknown, that candidate will have favors to pay back. There is wayy too much pushing our senate, congress and executive office in the US that is from abroad. So , mostly, like me people are wating to see who comes out with the platform that most makes sense to them. We may have a long wait.
