Resolve . . .


(from http://thehiresolution.net/the-futility-of-most-new-years-resolutions-why-experts-say-no/)
". . . Wellness professionals tie resolution-setting gone awry (and most do) to an increase in depression, insomnia, weight gain and social dysfunction. . . The futility of a resolution starts with the pressure to THINK of a good resolution (because everyone is resolving to do something). Add to that the pressure of STARTING on time so you can count off the days with that new calendar. Most resolutions are overwhelming and all-encompassing…. and therefore, doomed to fail. . . The CEO who RESOLVES to spend more time with his family by taking some time off or fitting in some spare time is doomed to fail. . . The manager who RESOLVES to become better at leadership by keeping his eyes open for leadership courses is doomed to fail. . . The person who RESOLVES to lose 100 pounds . . .  by eating healthier food and exercising more is doomed to fail. . . All these resolutions are admirable but they are ineffective and toothless. . . According to a Forbes article, self-improvement, or at least the desire for it, is a shared American hobby. It’s why so many of us — some estimates say more than 40% of Americans — make New Year’s resolutions. . . But for all the good intentions, only a tiny fraction of us keep our resolutions; University of Scranton research suggests that just 8% of people achieve their new year’s resolutions. . ."

Baloney . . .


Using the Roger Stone Book of Baloney Politics (i.e. Make up shit because none of your fans will bother to research its validity) . . .


(from Facebook Paid for by Donald J. Trump for President, Inc.)
". . . Over the past week, millions of American patriots, like you, have signed petitions DEMANDING Democrats put America first and BUILD THE WALL. . . We FLOODED their offices with your petitions, but Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi continue to do the only thing they know...OBSTRUCT! . . . Chuck and Nancy are SOLELY responsible for this shutdown because using the safety and security of American citizens as a bargaining tool to play political games, is just plain WRONG. . ."

Happy?. . .


Want to be happy
Listen here
What would you pay to
Have no fear
Fear of the raptor
Roaming free
Fear of a captor
You or me
Do you fear having your choices
All being taken away

There was a turmoil
We could see
Under the table
Had to be
Way far beyond us
In the fray
We wore the blinders
They slipped away
So many promises made
To a misguided parade of the innocent

Circumstances pushed so many over the edge
Sideways glances directed to drive in a wedge

Want to be happy
Bet you do
Want to be happy
never blue
Things aren’t the same as they used to be
With some effort we’ll change what we see


Happy

Even More . . .

. . . hours

An idea is conceived
Amid so much 'who knows what'
Whether forced
Or just flowing
Bringing contentment

Then building upon
That initial idea
With a flourish
Or lyrical twist
That you hear
Gives a character to it
And promotes growth
Not unlike raising a child
Or meeting the love
Of your life


The Hours

In progress with Jay Graboski and Dave Kelly

More Lying . . .


(from http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/even-iraq-trump-cant-bring-himself-tell-the-troops-the-truth?cid=sm_fb_maddow&fbclid=IwAR2M2ILJV7xVfBWY5CBMshrG2H5P6Hy4cUdAX998g1xjuYF1A8-82AiirNI)
". . . as part of his pitch, Trump repeated a claim he must know isn’t true. . . “You just saw that because you just got one of the biggest pay raises you’ve ever received. . . It’s great. You know what? Nobody deserves it more. You haven’t gotten one in more than 10 years – more than 10 years. And we got you a big one. I got you a big one. I got you a big one. . .“They had plenty of people that came up. They said, ‘You know, we could make it smaller. We could make it 3 percent. We could make it 2 percent. We could make it 4 percent.’ I said, ‘No. Make it 10 percent. Make it more than 10 percent.’ Because it’s been a long time. It’s been more than 10 years. It’s been more than 10 years. That’s a long time. And, you know, you really put yourselves out there, and you put your lives out there. So congratulations.”. . . It’s one thing for the president to peddle this lie at pre-election campaign rallies, but it’s worse when he travels halfway around the world to lie to the troops’ faces. . ."

More Hours . . .

On and on flow the hours
Like rolling waves upon the sea
And like so many and so varied flowers
Each one some nectar for the bee

We're keeping tabs and writing numbers
Logging each minute in the book
We have a choice to
Either dread the counting
Or see the forest if we look

Store the knowledge
Hoard the wisdom
Take the years
And just run like crazy
Party’s only
What you make it
Make it into the
Best you can

There’s no protection from the power
Generated everyday
The blazing lights shine
From each lofty tower
To illuminate the way

Things that never occur to you
In the spring
Become clear with each
Passing season

All options must be on the table
All points of view be understood
And if you don’t do ev’ry thing you’re able
Make sure you do those which are good

Store the knowledge
Hoard the wisdom
Take the years
And just run like crazy
Party’s only
What you make it
Make it into the
Best you can

The Hours

Thou . . .

. . . shalt not generalize . . . 


(from https://www.facebook.com/RFValues2/ [Republican Family Values])
". . . After two years in office, at least one thing about Trump has become predictable, writes James Risen. He reacts violently whenever Mueller appears to be making progress in his investigation. Never forget that everything Trump does is about saving his own skin. . ."
