I have to say, I currently miss the person I was on November 5th. At the present time, I feel I am fed up with historical moments for quite a while. How many can there be in a few years and when should you take a breath in between?

The wish to change is an urge that society plants in us and so from an early age on, we look at our flaws. Me? I am no exception. The last sixty years I found so many things wrong with me. I had an endless wishlist of things I needed to change dramatically and so I tried.
Go, soul, the body’s guest,
….Upon a thankless arrant;
Fear not to touch the best;
….The truth shall be thy warrant:
….….Go, since I needs must die,
….….And give the world the lie.

No one knows a thing about it
And we hope they never will.
No one knows
What we oppose,
And we hope they never will.
This is not just about politics anymore, there is – at least for me – so much more at stake. Not being able to have children is a hard pill to swallow. I cried more tears than I wish on anybody and now women like me are devalued?

I can hardly believe how quickly this month has rushed by. It was a hot one. Our A/C was running around the clock, only to be interrupted by a few power outages when severe thunderstorms came through our area.
I remember a time when we had political parties. They didn’t rule our everyday lives, neither was anything they did (or didn’t do) so interesting that we lost any sleep over it. We read the news and political discussion happened at the BBQ at the neighbor’s house, at work in the breakroom, or even after church.
Memorial Day. The day to honor and mourn the U.S. military personnel who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Brave men and women, who fought for our country.
I am an American by choice. I am an Austrian by birth. I have given the privilege to live -and have lived- in countries that give people (still) the right to vote and I am grateful.
