Jan 2017

I still got heat, electricity, running SAFE drinking water, flush toilet w/ working sewer lines, internet access, the cats got food, kitty litter, I got coffee & real cream. I got most of my mind. & it still mostly works , and I can still get around okay. I got a really good education mostly paid for by the people of the state of Michigan, heck they even gave me ' bout $200 cause I was going to college in state.I know I live better then 97% of the women on this globe and 85 % of the aggregate humans on this globe. For that I am deeply grateful. I am born to and born of this country, and that as well is an unearned gift. This change that our political system is undergoing scares me ALOT so that unease is causing me distress but DUers have been talking me up from anxiety and potential depression.
