loss...

Loss...

                               



What is left is a faded blue puppy given to him by a volunteer on one of his too frequent stays in the hospital, several small wooden trucks, a Snoopy pillow case and boxes of photographs.

Over the years you wait for the pain go away but it never does.

It just changes.

It shifts from day to day and year to year and becomes something different, sometimes better sometimes worse.

And you manage to get through the days...at least most of the time.

You hold on tight and breath and even though you are not the most religious person in the world, you pray a lot.

And if you are very lucky you make it through to the moments when you remember things without the pain and you smile...and then you cry again and that's okay.

kumbaya... come by here

 



So one of Noodles crew was a hippy in the 60s

There was civil push back about the civil rights movement, the Viet Nam war, 

womans rights, voting rights...sound familiar?

And then there were the protests.

And here we are

right back {or further} than we were back then.

What's really interesting is that those same protesters, put Trump back in office!

So maybe we are having that kumbaya moment...

Would it really be such a bad thing?


Have a super Sunday

just a test...



It's not sexy, its not even new but its very very relevant!
We want Covid to be gone, but it's not

okay, so here's a question...

Do you remember the PSA


"This is a test

 this is only a test"...

back when the crew was growing up, the threat of nuclear war was imminent. 

Now jump forward to Covid...

if Starbucks and the whole cafe culture were to begin today, would it have thrived as it did?

these days we don't interact

we don't converse

we don't listen

we are becoming even more insulated and introverted and cut off from one another.

What happened to, "it takes a village"?

You ask me...

we could use a little village in this place we are in.


Have a wonderful Sunday!
