Hello Everyone~ 

Well, I have gotten a little behind in posting on my Blog.  I have got to get into a better habit of posting in here.  

I cannot believe half the year is gone already.  I have to say this is the weirdest year I have been in so far.  It sure seems like the USA has turned into a Jerry Springer show.  All the negative stuff floating around in the world has been draining on me.  Any time I can see or hear a happy story I eat that stuff up... I crave that.  We need more of good stories we need it badly.   

Everyday it's something bizarre going on in the Government.  I don't do Political posts on Facebook.  I am getting tired of everyone's posts saying how wonderful Trump is or how horrible Trump is. These posts are not making either side come to any agreement or see anything differently.  These posts are just making everyone argue and I feel we are becoming more and more hateful and uncaring about each other.  If you are someone who posts this stuff... stop and take a look at yourself and ask yourself why are you posting this, what are you getting out of this?  Is it just for the dopamine bump, is it something you feel makes you feel smarter than the other guy?  Do you feel you are truly educating someone? Don't say you aren't getting anything out of it... don't lie to yourself.  

For the most part I am a people pleaser... I don't want to make anyone feel bad.  I want to make you smile and feel loved.  What am I getting out of this right now?  I am venting and hoping that maybe one person reading this will stop and look inside themselves and think about what I am saying.  Maybe that person will start telling folks things that bring them together instead of dividing them.  

Majority of us all are loving caring people who want the best for our families and fellow human beings. I truly believe we would stop and help a stranger in need.    

We need to quit complaining and start doing something about the things we are unhappy about.  If you post something about something you don't like, then come up with suggestions and ideas on how to make positive changes, it doesn't have to be something huge, volunteer for the causes you believe in, etc. Do something positive every day to people you encounter.  Sitting around in your armchairs just posting stuff for likes on your social media isn't helping and for God's sake, before you post something you see on the News, or FB etc. research it... fact check it.  Understand that these stories you hear are out there to manipulate you to get some kind of emotional knee jerk reaction to make you believe what they say and get you to forward that post.  

We need to get off our phones and start living and experiencing the world again off electronics and the internet.  I am very guilty of this I can spend a ton of time on my computer.  I am so much happier when I am out doing stuff.  

I am sending everyone love and hope you have a wonderful weekend.  I am headed out to the Farmer's market...   I think there is at least one Blackberry bush, and some Dahlia flowers that are dreaming about moving to our farm.  My Hubby is going to his Quad City Antique Ford Club Breakfast.  Then we are meeting up and going to some estate sales.
