Independence Day

 The 4th of July has never been a big day for me.

People pretending to celebrate, eating hot dogs, saluting the flag--not something I delight in.

But this year I'm dwelling hard on our country and praying for America.

What the President and his cronies are doing threatens so much of what we love and need in this country.

Democrats, Independents and unhappy Republicans must take a stand on this day.

"Let Freedom Ring!" must be our cry.

Too many suffered and died to make this country the greatest in the world to let them down now.

"Let Freedom Ring...."

That awful bill

Well, they passed it.

I guess the President is delighted.

Most all Americans won't be.

Health Care and low income folks are in ruins.

What an awful thing to do to us....

Fight back!

 

A good thing

 One good thing about my recovery (though it's slower than I wish) is how much reading I'm getting done.

I'm averaging a novel and a half a day!

Lots of "Murder She Wrote" and "Monk" and others as well.

Being rather sedate leaves lots of time for Reading....

That's a good thing indeed.

Slept in....

 I slept until 8:30 this morning.

An hour and 15 minutes longer than any night since I've been home.

Felt good to sleep in.

I plan to spend time downstairs until 3 or so.

Moving along--just not as fast as I'd hoped.

Should make church Sunday--Bern driving me up and someone bringing me home.

I hope so....

That Big Bad Bill

So the Senate passed that bill the President wanted. Goes to the House, but little doubt they'll pass it.

It will ruin the lives of many Americans and affect us all with debt and hardship.

It's hard to imagine how members of Congress can hurt the people they were elected by.

But it's done.

God help us....

 

Hanging out...

 Still upstairs, but should be able to go down by tomorrow.

Walking with my cane without touching the wall--that's a step forward.

Sleeping ok, but not as long as usual.

Making doctors' appointments for next week.

I can't believe how much Bern does to help me out.

My angel....

Another day...a little better

 I feel a bit better today--a tad more steady, but not there yet.

Thought of the folks at Trinity a lot--pray I can be there next Sunday.

Eating a little more--but not enough, I know.

"A long road back" is how I see it now. Just a bit a day.

I've watched more news than I care to admit.

America must feel like me--lost and trying to hope.

The country is a mess--just like me.

God help us all....
