Random stuff in my boring life.

Wishing everyone blessings for Thanksgiving. I know not everyone celebrates our American holiday, but the core idea is to take a day to celebrate the good things in life. It's a time to stop and reflect on your blessings. So no matter where you live or what you celebrate I hope you take a moment to just be thankful for whatever is important to you.

Fifty years ago at 7pm, I was married. My brother's son was born that morning. So I wish Gary a Happy Birthday. And I don't regret my marriage, but am happy I'm not with him anymore. We didn't work well and only hurt each other. I don't hold any hard feelings toward him. He was a Viet Nam vet with lots of issues. His life hasn't been very happy since the divorce either. That said my life has been up and down since the divorce, but I am in a better place mentally.

So I wish everyone a Happy New Year and stay safe. 🎉🎇🎉

Today here in America it's Thanksgiving. Being a Buffy fan I remember being amused at it's Thanksgiving show. Years later I can now understand how ahead of it's time it really was. It showed how history is written by those who are in power. Indigenous people were treated horribly by immigrants who stole everything from them. Today many of my country do not want immigrants coming into this country for any reason fearing what will change for themselves. Maybe they are scared of history repeating itself.

Last week I watch a young man go free after shooting three people killing two. The people in power praised him. It was a horrible moment for me. I feel the trial was mishandled. His lawyers were just better at using the law to win.

Yesterday three men were found guilty of murder. This was a very different trial and justice was served in my opinion. These men stalked and murdered an innocent man. One of them thought by taking a video and posting it proved them right in their actions. Thankfully the prosecutor handled this case differently.

No matter where you live, no matter what your politics are, I pray you are safe, healthy and loved on this day of Thanksgiving.
