Tears as I saw the building, the decorum, the 400,000 flags billowing as a statement of remembrance of lives lost to Covid, and the realization that the country will survive. I can finally feel true hope.
My takeaways for performances: Lady Gaga as she sang, so moving, true to herself, but I was disappointed to see JLo was invited. She disgraced herself, imo. The poet laureate was moving and spectacular. Introduction by Kobluchar outstanding.
It’s one of those days. I just found out a Christmas gift from Amazon , delivered by FedEx never ended up in my sister’s hands. I hadn’t had this problem before so did not ask for a signature receipt. Bad mistake people and a warning for the future because why should it get any better?
That’s my frustrated attitude today. Add to that, living in the city used to be fun, now it’s like living in a box.
This is my attempt at using the block editor. Sizing of things is not easy, or of course I don’t understand how to use it. I can add gifs which I like.

I reluctantly open my eyes, reach for my phone to see what problems have arisen overnight, while thinking, “I’ll just look at the weather forecast.” Of course I know it already: windy, cold even with the sun coming through the window. I tell myself to not seek the news reports. Why start my day with the inevitable reports of violence, hate speech and viciousness?
I’m seemingly driven to it, and as an older person, I have seen these occurrences before—they are not a surprise to me since I’ve lived in areas of these “united states” where it’s daily life, lived. I’ve seen civil unrest up close and personal. I’ve seen blatant hate and discrimination on faces too near me. Sometimes the great bones of my life feel so heavy, I wonder if my grandchildren or theirs, will ever be able to lift these burdens.

I wish my WP email worked well
Instead I think it’s under a spell
Instead of a nourishing group of hosts
It’s gone wildly mad showing multiple posts
All from one author, how strange is that
Probably should keep this under my hat
I wonder if anyone else has these problems
Seems it none or all with the WP goblins!

“Dive into the irresistible, take a chance, embed yourself in this gorgeous design of life!”
George started mumbling under his breath, cursing her unending optimistic views. She never stops, he thought, it was just aortistic rhetoric with no affirmation shown in truth. If only there were two parts to her mind, the rose quartz vision, and a link to reality.
“See that sun coming through to warm us this winter morning? A pleasant day ahead.”
George sighed, realizing there was no thing to be had, but acceptance. He put his arm around his wife, and smiled.

Homeschooling was fine with Jimmy. He excelled in computer skills and he just received a congratulatory note from his online teacher.
Being the nerdy type already at a very young age, it was nice to know someone appreciated his intellect.

Frost, you’re an artist
Glint in sunshine or moonlight
Works beyond compare

“Critical Thinking” is my choice this week. I watched it on Starz this weekend and I think this 2020 film is a must see, based on a true story.

Take note of the budget for this film.
