The “President” …

… of the United States is insane.

Surely everyone realizes that by now.

I try not to listen to him, but this short video is worth a few seconds of your time …

I realize that many, perhaps most, bloggers don’t want to get into politics. But I believe my United States is at a crossroads, and our current President is steering us down a Deadly Drive, one that will destroy our Democracy. I call upon my fellow bloggers and citizens everywhere to speak out against this tyranny and authoritarianism. If we love our country, we must.

Speak Out!

Five Friday Happy Bringers 8/22/25

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. To show you (yet again) that it doesn’t take very much to make me happy, I was thrilled (maybe with a small “t” but still thrilled) seeing these neat “tissues don’t have to be in a rectangular or square box” Kleenex in the bathroom at my therapist’s office. TMI?

2. Sort of related (at least in color) to Happiness Bringer #1 above, the first day of Autumn 2025 is one month from today!

Of course it’s 90° with a Real Feel near 100 today in Savannah, but at least we can dream/remember …

3. Robert and I took part in the Savannah Photo Club’s Third Sunday Photo Walk last Sunday morn. Such fun!

There we are, in the middle of the frame, a bit blurry.

For two hours we traversed around Savannah’s Historic District, snapping pictures left and right.

We plan to make the Savannah Photo Walk part of our monthly agenda.

4. After the photo walk, we toured the Savannah College of Art and Design’s Museum of Art display, A Gathering of Bells.

Upon entry, you were giving a white glove for your dominant hand, so that you could ring the clappers in the bells!

HR, clappering away.

“As museum visitors strike the clapper against the shell, their action becomes participation and metaphor simultaneously: we hear the ringing bell vibrate and sense how our gestures reverberate outward toward others.”

Such a unique sculpture display/experience.

5. The pleasure of a simple little nap.

Make your weekend ahead have some Simple Little Pleasures.

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. Green beans.

They are crisp-perfect, simply drizzled with olive oil and a little salt, and put in the oven for about 15 minutes.

2. This cute little doggie store on my morning walk.

3. The amazing ability to remember. What a gift.

4. What we need more of:

5. Robert’s love of fancy coffee … that’s not in a paper cup.

Starbucks this morning.

What’s on your Happiness List today?
