Trying to keep the circle small.....

As I told you a year or more ago... I have

gave up on keeping a close eye on things

of the national or even international sort.

It started mostly in the election year...where

I got discussed with all the things going on.

Don't get me wrong, I watch the news with

cynic view and following the old saying of...

believe 1/4 of what you hear and 1/2 of what

you see.  And when it comes to the media..

well maybe 1/8..

Brian Williamson hasn't helped the situation.

Sad, as he seemed to be such a nice young

man. Why he chose to lie to make his story

be more important, I don't have a clue. But

here it is 10 + years later it comes to bit him

in the butt.  making one even more cynical

than before.

But of late, it is even harder to read the news

or watch the news.  The horror of the so called

adults, torturing children.. throwing them off

bridges, burning them.. drowning them.. starving

them and keeping them in closets for months

to year..  I have wrote before...CHILDREN ARE

NOT DISPOSABLE..  God entrust us with these

sweet innocent children.. If I had my way,

people would have to go thru parenting class

before they would be allowed to have a child.

I know, I know, there are some wonderful

parents out there.. I have them in my own

family, who I watch with amazement and pride.

I never have been able to watch a show about

abused children..  I was slightly abused as a

child. A woman who never been around children,

who had no clue how to deal with them.. and

only knew discipline side of things.  I say

slightly because it is nothing compared to what

you read in the media... And at the time I was

going thru it...I didn't think much about it, as I

thought all parents were like that.  My father

was a loving man, and my salvation.  And later

I thanked my mother for raising me as she did.

Because without it, I wouldn't have made it thru

what life threw at me.. I was already strong, and

stood up for myself. For that I thanked her for.

She didn't quite understand.

As I close the circle closer...meaning letting go

of the world problems.. as I can't do anything

about them... letting go of the national problems

as I can't do anything about that either. I vote..

Every time.. but even that only goes so far.

Votes are bought on the national level.

Letting go somewhat on the state level.. as

other than voting there isn't much I can do there.

I stand up for what I can do.. that I have a possibility

of changing.    Like they say, "if you don't stand for

something, you'll fall for anything"..

But most of all I have closed the circle around those

who I love..  be they family or friends... with my

motto... do no harm...

But it saddens me that others don't feel the same

for their love ones.. how can they destroy those

around them.  It is one thing to walk away.. but

why have the need to destroy..  especially a child.

I had an ex who said I saw the world thru roses

colored glasses.. guess I still do.. or maybe want

to. wishing other would.. And the older I get, the

closer the circle, has gotten.
