Living a simple life in the new world... Here it is 2017! I don't know how to start this year in a more positive way, but I am determined to finish it better. What is better? Better health? Better relations with my family? A cleaner house? A manicured yard? Being able to let go of pain and anger that I seem to let simmer and grow inside of me? I have everything a person could want and I am tremendously blessed. I just can't focus on it anymore. It is the way of society now. Social media that only pushes the happy go lucky life of each person in the world and looking around myself only to see most anyone young, and old, with their faces shoved into a phone, tablet, or computer. I have noticed ONE place in the last few years that folks make eye contact and are friendly to each other and that is the gas station down the road. It is a sad way to live and it is driving me crazy. As I feared 20 years ago, we have taken what was a good tool in the beginning and turned it into a way of life. I can't continue on this path because it is driving me nuts. I am going to begin a new journey to become less reliant on the world wide Web and live in the real world. I begin my day 1 showing the highlights of my New Years Eve 2016 before I went to bed at 5pm. Sato the Cat trying to eat Copper's food, Copper cooking for a "party" for work last night at Denton , and my first look of the beautiful world that God created for us to live in yesterday morning.

Mostly this blog is a way to be thankful, reflect, and stay in touch and liable to my best friend Ms. Mamie the Crazy Cat Lady. I love ya, Sista!
