From the comments I have received, I believe some of you believe our country is on the down hill slide. When I was a kid, I knew that even if my sled was traveling in the wrong direction, I could always just put my feet down the get back on course. And I am not afraid to do just that. I hope you do too. Put your foot down and tell the representatives exactly what you want them to do for you. Your town, your county, your state and your country. And the way you do that is by voting for that right person to represent you. Whether it is about Wade v. Roe (women's rights), the southern border, the economy or taxes. Voice your opinions and vote.
Nancy and I arrived home after a couple days on camping trip to Santa Fe New Mexico, picked up a couple we have traveled with many times, and headed North to the Carson National Park. Our friends were going to tent camp next to us, while we had our travel trailer. What a beautiful area at 8,500 ft. elevation and NO cell or internet services. What a break from technology. And at that altitude, it was a great relief from the desert heat of 100+ to the 70s and 50s.
I love the smell of pine trees as the Aspen trees flutter their leaves in the cool mountain breeze.
Even there, with all the quietness and dark skies, I could see the North Star. In the day, I missed the sound of grasshoppers clicking as they took to wing flight. And the other insects making their noises as we walked through the tall grass meadows. I needed to just chill and relax and listen to nature talk.
My point is (in my beat-around-the-brush way) things may look grim at times, but there is ALWAYS a glimmer of light from a better side. You just have to stay positive and look for that star in the dark sky. Take care and stay safe.
