This is the true joy in life: Being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one, being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.

I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.

It feels good to know my blood will help somebody else, so I donate regularly - but now there is a much more important cause. Blue blooded liberals, democrats and independent and sensible republicans need even more fresh blood to get through this election, particularly if more insurrectionists react violently to a Harris election triumph. GO now and donate blood and then vote, for the sake of goodness VOTE!

Waiting and worrying about the 'outcome' in November is so damn tedious — it's been a long, miserable, and troubling road since 2016. We all want to move on and focus on our own lives, feeling somewhat secure that our liberties won’t be stolen. In the face of the Mass-MAGA mentality, if each of us stands up and truly seeks truth in fact, science, and historical relevance, and educates the negligent about what is absolutely unacceptable, we can save this democratic 'experiment.'

I just knew it would be good!! ~ I took this photo view from the back of my home, the day before my 64th birthday. Compared to one year ago so many things have turned around and now I am so grateful to be alive, surrounded by people who constantly enrich my existence and I'm excited about the future. A heartfelt hank you to everyone who acknowledged me yesterday and continue to make me feel like I truly belong on this planet. You are Loved.
