“Former President Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil attempted to overturn the country’s 2022 presidential election,according to accusations by the Brazilian federal police. Yesterday, police raided dozens of properties, seized his passport and arrested his close aides. An investigation also detailed what they say was a vast conspiracy by the right-wing leader and his aides to plot a coup. At one point, the report said Bolsonaro personally edited a proposed order to arrest a Supreme Court justice.”
When things get “heavy” we are told to look for the light. That’s not always an easy thing to do. Sometimes the dark seems to last too long and we struggle, but the light is there so we just need to keep striving for it!
In retrospect, I wouldn’t say it was my best idea. I was going to the grocery on my scooter in 2015. I was following my grandson, he on his bike. We did lots of small trips, he on his bike, sometimes his little brother on a child scooter. It was a fun outlet always.
We were in the parking lot adjacent to the store and there was a speed bump. My grandson yelled back to me, “grandma, don’t go that way!” And me being an ass, thought I could navigate the bump if I approached it diagonally as if driving a car. The three wheeled scooter tipped and I fell off, breaking a bone in my hip and destroying my left elbow.
I ended up in the ER at three in the morning, had an allergic reaction to a Dilaudid injection, resulting in a pulmonary embolism and a week in hospital followed by rehab and taking Warfarin for nine months.
The worst part of it that still bothers me is the fact my grandson thought it was his fault. Of course it wasn’t, it was totally mine. He is still the empathetic sweet young man he was then.♥️
1. Something you’ve waited for recently?Paycheck☺️

4. The most visited cities in the world last year (according to this site) were-Bangkok, Paris, London, Dubai, and Singapore. Have you been to any of the cities mentioned? Which would you most like to see? How do you feel about international travel in general these days? I’m not really interested in those places to visit but would love to visit my son and his wife in southern France.
5. February is the perfect month to rest up from the cold of January.
6. Insert your own random thought here: I would like WP to loosen up their constraints on how lines are posed on posts.🙄 Constantly having to readjust, etc takes a lot of time and causes frustration.
They just stood there, staring at each other. Everyone in the family around them stared too. It was the first time any of them heard him say “I love you” to his wife.
4 line stanzas, as few as one stanza and up to as many as you like. 8 syllables or less per line. Rhyming is AAAb. The second stanza would be CCCd. The third, EEEf. And so on. Meaning nothing in one stanza must rhyme with anything in the previous stanza. The fourth line does not rhyme.
