The Moon Was Out

This evening I walked up the small mountain (large hill) of Mountain's Edge park. The moon was out and it was very windy. It felt like a challenge trudging uphill against strong wind gusts and I like that.





Driving away from there I was listening to the radio and heard some of Obama's farewell speech. It must be very emotional to step down as President, whether it's after one or two terms. I would had been bawling because I am a SUPER emotional person and I can cry and laugh in the span of 15 seconds. But I really like these snippets...."If you’re tired of arguing with strangers on the Internet, try talking with one of them in real life. If something needs fixing, then lace up your shoes and do some organizing.If you’re disappointed by your elected officials, grab a clip board, get some signatures, and run for office yourself. Show up, dive in, stay at it. Sometimes you’ll win, sometimes you’ll lose."
Well said!
Oh the arguments people sometimes have online, anonymously for the most part because when people hide behind being anonymous they often feel invincible. And many can't stand for their opinions or words in real life. What I can say about myself is that everything I have ever said online (my blog) or even when talking about somebody (sometimes one just has to vent) are all things that I am able to say to somebody's face if I haven't already. I don't make up stories or lies about anyone, I stick to the facts.
So onto my latest food craving, I get cravings once in a while and start eating something on an almost daily basis, like watermelon for example......well, the latest is chicken soup. And I pick out the chicken and give to Chhaya and some of the carrots too. She waits and drools in bed while waiting for her chicken and carrots to cool.
I sleep in dog drool, dog hair and whatever other "germs" she has.....probably no more or less germs than I have and I am perfectly healthy. A healthy dose of germs will only make you stronger I think.



Well.....goodnight to all of you. I got up early and I think I will be going to bed soon.

EDIT .....I had to watch Obama's farewell address before I called it a night. I can't write about political issues without watching it. And I am glad I did. Very eloquent and well spoken but Obama always delivers his speeches, he is intelligent and highly educated. And I LOVE how he loves Michelle and his daughters, it was very touching when he spoke to his wife. Like a REAL man. There is a lot of love in that family. I wish them the best and a great future journey.
