The Bag Lady

As most roads we cross in our lives, it’s easier said than done

Often rocky paths we travel, sometimes take years to recover

Perseverance and help from close friends, each serve to further wellness

This week’s Story Starter teaser is: WHEN ANDREA FOUND OUT THAT SHE WASN’T REALLY HIS DAUGHTER, SHE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT SHE HAD TO DO. Andrea went shopping. She went to the party store and bought a huge amount of supplies including streamers and balloons, plates and cups for treats and had a big sign made which said: “Thank you for being my dad!”

Optimism? I’ve tried that a few years now and the word is getting battered. Pessimism is trying hard to take over! Reading the news, listening to political blowhards, and worst of all, acceptance. All efforts seem not to change anything and I should just learn a word I don’t like—acceptance. “Accept what you can’t change and just settle. Settle for the way things are. You’ll be happier.” WRONG!

“A lot of people overstate on their resumes or twist a little bit or (sic) engranduate themselves,” Santos told WABC radio.

“I’m not a fraud. I’m not a criminal who defrauded the entire country and made up this fictional character and ran for Congress,” Santos told WABC. During the campaign, Santos described graduating from Baruch College, said he worked for Goldman Sachs and claimed to own valuable real estate properties. He now acknowledges none of that is true. He also admits his claim that four of his employees died in the 2016 Pulse night club shooting in Orlando, Fla., was false.

The winter solstice came and went and I am a mere snowflake away from the tremulous darkness of a liquid goodbye. You can catalog my feelings as an absolute channel of contrary stubbornness as I refuse to recline into a pool of melted snow. I quote Rodney Dangerfield, who said “I get no respect, no respect at all”. That fact is obvious by the lack of a nose and mouth on my person. So sad.
