“Hope and fear come from feeling that we lack something; they come from a sense of poverty.
We hold on to hope, and hope robs us of the present moment.
Rather than letting our negativity get the better of us, we could acknowledge that right now we feel like a piece of shit
and not be squeamish about taking a good look.
That’s the compassionate thing to do. That’s the brave thing to do.”

Thank you, Veterans. Without you, our lives would be far less secure and safe. I deeply appreciate each of your commitments to our Constitution and it’s Rule of Law. We must never, ever return to those bad old days of servitude to a tyrant. No kings and no dictators for The USA. Just the Rule of Law under our Constitution and your Oaths that support that noble concept.
Please read the attached image of a why it’s the 11th day of the 11th month, we celebrate.

My thanks to every Veteran for your service and dedication to democracy and our constitution.
And much gratitude to my husband for his 3yrs 5mos 47days on the flight deck drenched in toxic fuel. He’s paying a big price for it now.
Never forget Vets are dying every day from the service that was decades ago. ❤️🤍💙#VeteransDay
One of the saddest places I’ve ever cried.

Find someone who needs help with something, and don't ask who they are or who they voted for, or whether they deserve it. Find a way to help.
Curious about the history of Victory Gardens in the U.S., this piece from the National Park Service captured my attention. Worthwhile reading. Special historical note re: Japanese-American internment. OTD (Nov. 10) in 1945, Camp Heart was closed. That was only 79 years ago. Think about it.

@LnzyHouThe added hazard is that this is mating season. Bucks are moving around a lot chasing mates. @fugitive247
@fugitive247 There was a guy I knew in Michigan that had a small herd of beef cattle grazing a corner of his land. Mostly he farmed beans, corn, and wheat. He got tired of his cattle being shot at, so he painted "COW" on them. Both sides. Two of them were killed afterward. Shot dead center through the "O". A LOT of farmers have no use for "hunters", and for good reason. @LnzyHou
