  • Thanksgiving post

    This is my annual post about all that I’m grateful for the past year.

    My health issues finally have an answer although it took 2 years & countless tests.

    I started on a weight loss drug & just about fit into my old clothes. I was so happy that I was approved to take  it.

    I’m grateful for my friends this year, those close & those far away.

    I’m grateful for the ongoing stability with my own mental health. I guess I’m more resilient than I thought I was.

    That I’m back to walking Fløyen with our nearly year old puppy. How I’ve missed those walks!

    That my husband & I have been together for over 20 years! He makes me feel grateful every day!

    What are you grateful for this holiday season?

  • That I’m kind but direct

    What’s the first impression you want to give people?

    I’d like people to see that I’m kind but not a doormat. I like to pay kindness forward. If a stranger is kind to me I’d like to spread the kindness. People have become bitter, judgemental & mean.

    I’d like to change that, as the world is slowly becoming crueller, petty & down right mean.

    I’m getting really tired of all the meanness happening around me. It’s as if you’re no longer able to make mistakes without people treating you like a martyr.

    As a species we ALL make mistakes that doesn’t make us “bad” people. When was the last time someone you know made a mistake. Did you hold it against them or did you forgive & move on?

    I FORGIVE people that I look back on that maybe didn’t deserve it. But I do as I live Gratefully everyday & part of being Grateful also means forgiveness. How do you want to be remembered? For being Cruel or like my Farmor for being Kind?

  • History lost

    DJT doesn’t respect history or the building formally known as The White House. By destroying the East wing of the historic building he says fuck you to the stories behind the Wing & to the American people.

    He’s so desperate to trumpify the White House by ruining it all for his 300 million ballroom. He is treating the White House as if it’s his to do whatever he wants. Leaving the American people without necessary services such as healthcare & food stamps. Since he shut the government down, a real hypocrite & tyrant.

    The East Wing of the White House was steeped in Americana, a country I no longer recognize & a “president” that shouldn’t be in office at all as he’s a felon & fascist.
