    Ruth, the cartoon gave me a belly laugh.

    I see the world being slowly transformed into a wilderness; I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too. I feel the suffering of millions. And yet, when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that everything will change for the better, that this cruelty too shall end, that peace and tranquility will return once more.

    Cowardice asks the question, is it safe? Expediency asks the question, is it politic? Vanity asks the question, is it popular? But conscience asks the question, is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because it is right.

    A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep.

    OMGOMGOMGOMG!!

    I was selected to take part in the second edition of the STILL Project - https://project-still.me . It's a photojournalism project aimed at increasing awareness of aesthetic flat closure as an option after mastectomy.

    There were almost 50 people who applied, but only 12 were chosen. I'm so excited to take part. The shoot is in Boston, so DH might come along. (He spent a good part of his childhood in that area.) It's going to make for a very busy few weeks. I'll have this event the last weekend of September, then the very next weekend I'm off to Santa Cruz for a Flattie gathering. Fun times!

    It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

    mom2bill, hard to choose between LOL and agree for the Piglet meme. I vote both but site won't allow that choice. Thanks for the laugh. The scary one is exactly that. What will it take to stop him since the SC seems to rubber stamp him in spite of the Constitution. They need to go and terms should be shortened and not "for life".

    It was once said that the moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped.

    Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.

    I can’t remember a time when so many people were eagerly awaiting word of someone’s death. Of course, not too many people during my lifetime have deserved this sort of death watch. I’m not much of a dancer, but I’ll certainly be dancing in the street.

    Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life and the world.
