Thats a whole hearted YES!!

A fall haiku:
Cool mornings arrive
Hot tea brewing in my cup
Grateful for blessings.

😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆

Gurl, I'm with you and will meet you there! I will have on red chucks!

Do not burn bridges. Walk around them.

And in red ink!!!

I think green would be nice.

Think before you speak and read before you think.

Alone with my memories of my high school years
Like Mr. Jackson taught me-
'What's mine is best'.
I see Mrs. Herrington at her desk,
Reading about life, liberty and pursing happiness.
And truth being self-evident.
I am left to wonder where it all went.

Did I stand up for the right thing?
Was inspired kind to my neighbor?
So, I keep reading, learning, and believing.
Working for a better world is my labor.

As i reflect on those memories
I wonder what happened.
Now I worry
When future generations trace
Their family trees,
When my name is spoken,
What will my legacy be?

American history brought up the
Boston Tea Party
And taxation without representation.
Lead by those rascals-
The Sons of Liberty.
Oh yeah, there is a tariff
Somewhere in there.

Mrs. Martin taught me that an Oxford commander
Goes right here,
And to stop switching my tenses.

Mrs. Fielding challenged my long
And wrong thinking.
Miss. Byrd tried her best to keep
My bread from sinking.

Wrong thoughts and the consequences
Of my actions.

Most thought Mrs. Herrington's 'and ahs'
Were an unnecessary distraction
But to me, they were a subtle hint
Exactly what the Three Fifths Compromise meant.

Mrs. Atkins beautifully read Shakespeare,
And challenged my run on sentences.

Mrs. Herrington's Civics Class
As i grow older,
I start to reflect
On lessons learned
And those who taught
As my fingers grow colder.

I remember those who taught me fractions
And roots of common words I use,
And ancient world history,
With a dash of state and local flare.

That's a good question. 🤔

When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations.

When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️

Is it over yet?

Yes

I'm getting ready. And I'm spreading the word!

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot.

REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Hey. You should text/call/voice-note some friends just because. Don't just DM silly videos. Check in with them. We all need some genuine connection right now!

Please share with the rest of us.

I napped.

I've noticed that, too.

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

Great point!

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.
