Hi Pat, I just thought she was breathtaking in her power yet sweet loving attention to her cubs. Such a mixture of quiet beauty and danger. I’m glad you liked it.

Vicki, what a important idea you raised. I never thought of that, and it sure makes me think. I continue to think that women do bring a different prospective to the mix of society, one that is seldom recognized. Thanks for your insightful remarks.

Thanks Michael. what words of wisdom! I’m feeling freer already, as I just slip around to sites I favor and read. When something gets to me, I set it down. And so far, it seems to be working. I spend way less time and seem to be enjoying the rest of my world a bit more. Parker has encouraged my walking and I’m grateful for that. I’ve done it before, but now it seems different and purposeful. It gives me time to inhabit my world a bit more effectively and hopefully it brings a new prospective to my writing. I’m definitely feeling more spiritually attuned. I take your advice to heart however, and will spend more prayerful moments contemplating where I fit.

I agree with you.
To answer your question about when did it become standard policy to move toward the middle after the primaries. The election season has been getting longer and longer in direct proportion to the speed the news is made available. Everyone know what James Monroe stood for. Kennedy gave a couple of speeches, a couple of debates, and the deal was done.
By the time we got to Carter, it was a marathon. Now, with instant access to hundreds of pundits take on every little issue that comes up, it would be impossible for any candidate to win without “refining” their positions.

Vicki, thanks for the kind words. I know what you mean, Parker and I argue many of these points again and again. And it’s always a search for your “voice” it seems, the right place for me in this crazy blogosphere. It would not be so difficult if I were in a less crowded arena. I’m a tiny goldfish among whales, and hoping to be heard. How egotistical is that! LOL.

Pat, I sure didn’t mean to sound angry. I was frustrated I guess. Perhaps this new format will work better for me. I feel better about it, and not so darned under the gun all the time. In any case, we can all stand to be provoked into thinking more. I guess that is what I missed, nobody was provoking me! I was just running off at the mouth a lot. That may not change, but at least I won’t spend as much time!

Have a great summer yourself. It’s looking up here as the garden improves and we are enjoying it. Got the first lettuce for salad the other day. It does one’s heart so good to eat what you have grown yourself.

Yes Vicki I very much agree. He is out of touch. I was very upset with his fight against the Webb Veteran’s Bill. It smacked of just a total reversal for this man who claims to be the spokesman for all military personnel. I know that is untrue.

“The other side is that I am going to read things I want to read and if something motivates me, I’ll write a few paragraphs and post it.”

That’s why I visit here; because you write about whatever you want. Of course we all have to breathe in, and breathe out; it’s not an option. Same with writing; sometimes we have to write, sometimes we have to NOT write. And Blogs like yours are insanely work intensive, and on top of that the dial-up time killer.
When I’m stumped, I abdicate to a higher power. I’m committed to doing things his way already, so let him decide. So you might want to pray this one out. Find out what the Gods prefer you do; they’ll certainly let you know. Then you can spend as many hours as you want, guilt free, because it’s what you should be doing, and you have that on the highest authority!

Thanks for sharing Nick Brandt’s lovely photo. Your words do more than justice to his art.

Wishing you a peaceful and enjoyable 4th of July.

Digging we will have to go for the “truth”, as he sees it on this. Most of the Veterens I know that served time, fought, god forbid were POW’s have a very different additude that McCain.
Eek it makes me retch.
