IMBILC

IF THE FEBRUARY BORN SHALL FIND
SINCERITY AND PEACE OF MIND,
FREEDOM FROM PASSION AND FROM CARE
IF SHE THE AMETHYST WILL WEAR.

Good morning guys... pretty day here. Going to be in the upper 60s today.

We have a funeral to attend today. Friend from the church. I taught their kids and my daughters hubbys' uncle.

I'll come home and work on some projects this afternoon.

50 DEGREES AND CLOUDY, MAY CLEAR OFF THEY SAY, 69 FOR THE HIGH. PROMISES, PROMISES---

GOT THE USUAL FIRST OF THE MONTH STUFF AND LOTS OF OPTIONAL TASKS I COULD DO TODAY IF I CAN SUMMON UP THE MOTIVATION. WHERE ARE YOU MOTIVATION?

AT LEAST JANUARY IS OVER AT LONG LAST; DIDN'T SEEM LIKE IT WENT BY FAST AROUND HERE.

DOG IS FED, BIRD FEEDERS ARE OUT, CAT IS DOWN FROM THE TREE WHERE THE DOG CHASED HER, AND MY BREAKFAST IS READY.

GOOD START---

It's Black History Month. White history apparently plays an important role in black history. It's also a time to remind others that black people are black. Seems there is a trend to remind people of the difference in color throughout the year in media, entertainment, sports and a host of other areas. Being a minority, (white in South Florida), I can understand how important it is to celebrate the contributions of those from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds. It's an opporunity to learn from the past. Use the tools available to improve the future. Climbing the social ladder takes work. For some assimilation takes longer than others. Life and habits at home can contribute to success. A toast to those that have figured out the societal maze and built a good life in the U.S.A.. Yet, I understand. Somehow even having had relatives that served in the Union Army and being first generation American on my mothers side I am somehow at fault for the conditions in the past. Since so many are in such a hurry to erase history let's forget about the past. Put on the blinders and let's move forward toward the vision that our forefathers and mothers had dreamed of for freedom, equality and inclusion for all. But as I mentioned previously the future of success starts at home.

LOL. I'm just full of it today.

Happy Imbolc - ready for spring to hurry up and be here, warm today with sun, but has clouded up a bit this afternoon. Busier than a litterbox full of cats here today, nobody showed up yesterday when they were supposed to and I got piled up today, figures.
Trying to get little flea market booth going, cousin dropped the ball on some really nice racks, heckuva deal so now I've had to buy some cheapies, hope they work. Make a good day of it,what's left

Very well stated Thomas.... your patriotic fervor is like a breath of fresh air.... it's not our fault about the past right? Many men died so the slaves could be free... and the demoncrates owned most the slaves.... no really they did...

high of 58 today... I see several Mocycles out and about... not me dude.... gotta be better than dis.... show some love today Guru's......

"I'M JUST A GOOD OLD REBLE,
YES THAT''S JUST WHAT I AM;
AND FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
I DO NOT GIVE A DAMN.

300 THOUSAND YANKEES LIE ASLEEP IN SOUTHERN DUST;
WE KILLED 300 THOUSAND BEFORE THEY CONQUERED US.
THEY DIED OF SOUTHERN FEVER AND SOUTHERN SHELL AND SHOT,
I WISH WE'D KILLED THREE MILLION INSTEAD OF WHAT WE GOT.

I'LL NEVER BE ASHAMED OF WHAT I DID OR WHO I AM;
I'M JUST A GOOD OLD REBEL, AND I DON'T GIVE A DAMN."

OLD TEXAS COWBOY SONG.

THE WAR OF NORTHERN AGGRESSION WAS AN ECONOMIC WAR, AS ARE MOST WARS. SLAVERY WAS AN EXCUSE---STILL IS!
