Heading down the stretch….

Heading down the stretch….

Because this is the end of the blog this week.. I am doing 4.. 

Two regular post..  if I can think of what to say..  Oh, there is a lot to say..but do I, is the question.  And two good bye ones.

Funny as they ask at the Dr. Office paper work. ARE YOU DEPRESSED? DOES LIFE UPSET YOU??  what questions in this day an age..    Luckily I don’t go until July .. that is if I am still here.. for my wellness check up..  So if the question is there..  I am tempted to say.. HELL YES, THE WAY THE GOVERNMENT IS RUNNING THIS COUNTRY.. WHO ISN’T DEPRESSED AND LIFE IN THE USA  IS UPSETTING.  But with my luck I would have the men in white coats at my door..  with their HOME  health people..  judging me and then what??  Oh, well.  Who knows if we will still have a country by July..    But as I have said before..   I am putting my family and friends along with us..  in the hands of God.

In all my 80+ years, I have not seen this country as divided as it is now..  It is more so than in the 1960’s and 70’s during the Vietnam War..  Where generations were divided.  The young protesting..  and the older generation who went thru WWI and WWII and the Korean war… stayed with what the country did before.  This time we have friend against friend..  … family members against family members..  Women seeing their rights being whittled down.. return to the 1950’s for women.   My generation who fought hard to get rights for women..  When I was first married.. I could not get a credit card..  had to have my husband get one  and maybe get to get dependant card…  A single woman was not allowed to get a card .. oh, you could try.. but they turn you down.. Even if you had a good job.  And we are now sitting here to see just how bad all these changes are going to go.  Will the poor once again be homesless?  Will children once again be denied health care, dental care, that is soooooooo expensive that one can’t do it by themselves anymore.  Will women still be lower and lower in the cash flow?

As Bob Dylan says…   THE TIMES.. THEM TIMES ARE CHANGING.. 

AND it does not appear to be to the good.   Once again the rich white men are gaining control over the country.  Something I never thought I was see, because there are sooooo many good men out there.. who walked beside us in life..  Not ahead, not behind.. but along side us… Together..
