@VivianCreekmore it's been my observation that many people think of a resolution as an instant change - thus setting themselves up for a possible failure... I used to always just want to be a better person but, I'm actually doing a meaningful resolution this year - to be more patient with people
(including myself) & more helpful to others! But that will take time as a work in progress - took my 57 years to become who I am, it won't change over night!

Three years ago I would never have imagined that people could be broadly politically divided over an issue as basic as individual health, or would cheer on mis- and disinformation about a health crisis; or that they would, for the sake of making a political statement, fail to protect their own health and risk death for the sake of a slogan.

This is more than a physical health crisis; it's a horrific overturning of the foundations of human relations and human ethics.

Lot's of Renaissance and Medieval roleplay/education/socialization. Although recently, I've seen input from other ancient civilizations.

If 6 sensible Republicans would vote for Jefferies, we'd have a Speaker

CoSoNauts: Now is the time to pray for Hamlin, light a candle for him, send healing vibes his way - whatever you believe in. It’s also time to do the same for his family along with Jeremy Renner’s Family and Ken Block’s family and many others that were met with tragedy this weekend.

It’s not the time for sniping at each other. Knock it off!

That is all.

#GabbyGiffords!! Wow, how has it been 12 years since the shooting? I mean, yeah, it does weem a long time ago, but THAT LONG?

@VivianCreekmore so wonderful that she’s on the other side of that. ❤️ I have a story. My neighbor had a premie. Same thing, on oxygen at home for quite awhile. Later in life, she was a freshman on my daughter’s track team when my daughter was a senior. She wasn’t the fastest, but she was running. After her first race I said to her mom, look at Mary! What a long way she’s come from that rough beginning of her life. And her mom replied, only you and I know what a miracle this truly is.

Every major finance institution, including banks and investors are predicting a "soft landing" for the economy. This is FAR better than even a slight recession. Inflation is slowing, wages are up, unemployment is still excellent. Jobs, good paying jobs are still easy to find. Trade relations are coming back in line and mfg is picking up, cutting into supply disruptions. Ukraine is winning, and we've had balanced governance for 2 years.

Happy New Years. Don't waste this, make 2023 even better!!

I asked a question of my hubby while out to earlier dinner (we are not going to ring in the new year, it’s bedtime). “What was the best part of 2022?” Then I asked my kids (including spouses). It’s been fun hearing, reading the answers. Mine was getting to babysit my newest granddaughter on Wednesdays. Now I’m asking you, to anyone who wants to answer.

What was the best part of 2022 for you?
