Fall is a coming

Lets hope it does come a little soon or we might have more critters like this one hanging around. What a beauty of a spider. But the bugs have been really bad this year from gnats to roaches to mosquitoes and all of em! So fall is change . Again. People move, come back, change. There is some hard enough times in the economy but our President seems to be determined to make our lives more confused. Not many understand what he wants to do or how he wants to pay for all the "Change" I think if we knew more and could hear it put more simply we would not be so fearful and thats what it is, people are afraid; afraid of change and teriffied that what happend last sept will happen again. That we will lose all our savings and more and more will lose jobs and more and more homes will be lost. i don't think the current govt. has done enough to explain the reasons behind what they did or what they are going to do and uncertainty breeds distrust. I know folks are changing the way they spend, the way they shop and what becomes real NEED versus just WANT. Sure, there are things I want, would love to have...oh, maybe a 40 inch HDTV, and some new living room furniture(mine is about 15 years old or more)or a screen in porch instead of a deck, some yard work, maybe even a newer used car, but its not a need and whereas i love to watch football and movies and read, i can do that in the stuff i have got. But what i always will need is food, utilities, paying bills and some wine!! So we make do with what we have and keep hoping we hear and see more positive things coming our way. So for Christmas, just give me some Zinfadel, a book to read, some firelogs, and a box of toile paper, paper towels and cat food!! Thanks all....hurry fall.

Love Anyway

Love Anyway. I want to love someone. Everyone wants to love someone. To have someone to care about, to hug, to love, to hold to sleep deeply with and to have them care for you. For them to care when you hurt and how you hurt and if they can do something to ease that pain for you. Someone there in the night, when the dreams are bad and the night is so long. To love someone and know they are thinking about you as you are them and when they can see you again and how much longer till the day is done and you are together again. To argue with, to not see eye to eye but to still care enough to call to see how you are during the work day or when you are apart. Love often, over and over and over. it does not matter the times you get hurt or the times your love is not returned equally. Just love and one of those times, you will love and it will be the same and you won't get hurt and all the other times won't matter. All that matters is just this one time, the one that didn't hurt, the one that matched perfectly. Don't be afraid to love, you will make a difference in your loving, even if it wasn't right all those other times and you will make a difference in the lives of others. Its fall and the Sept. heat and the leaves have started to turn, and the football season is upon us again and times are still tough for people with and without jobs and its hard to make the ends meet again, but we are people with hope and even the friends and neighbors and family who invite you to supper or bring you leftovers are there to cherish and the ones who are having a tough time, you be there for them and it will benefit you too. We always wish we could do more but what we do really matters.
