I'm turning off the tv [View all]

And have Pink Floyd blasting thru my house. My cat understands. Music soothes the soul n Another Brick in the Wall does it for me. Then, Dark Side of the Moon.. I’m in a good place..I cannot n will not get wrapped up in the what if’s. Either we put our energies into change or we don’t. Ranting n raving doesn’t change a thing. Way before the 2016 election, I told my friends., we’re gonna repeat history with this guy..I’m beyond sick I said that but even more sick with what I’m seeing. I’m 74..still have fight in me for my grandchildren who don’t have a clue. I feel helpless but not hopeless. What can we do besides the same ol’ go to the polls?
Shine on you crazy diamonds...
