I have hit a writing roadblock. I took several days off after my brother was hospitalized for sepsis. He is hanging in there and says it is the worst pain he has ever had.
The silence inside of me is winning the battle for words. My heart is cold and clammy with the revelation that right-wing terrorists are growing in number. I have no idea how this can be brought under control.
I thought I would try and drive a little more today but I hardly slept last night and a misty rain is falling. Better to stay in for another day.
Yesterday I made meatloaf and mashed potatoes. I was thrown off my diet and ended up eating more than I had planned.
There is no such thing as saving ourselves; all we can do is the best we can to understand what is going on in our own heart and mind. Mine has been yoyo-ing for months as I watch political events knowing that the right grows more insane every day.
If I had to talk to God face-to-face, I would just ask Him if I could have more meatloaf and potatoes. I feel pretty sure I could convince Him to have a plate, too.

Vicki, if that picture is of your meatloaf, I’m confident God would have a plate too. I’d go rogue on my diet for a plate of that. Yum!
Good news to hear that brother Jim is holding his own. Will continue prayers🙏. And a medium size prayer for you dear Vicki. Your heart is holding burdens that you can do little if anything about. The slow drip of dread is creeping up on me too. Our country is having a mid life crisis that may not end well. It’s darn scary to think our national democratic foundations are crumbling under the weight of trendy conspiracy theories based on hate. How to fight it? I don’t know…
Someone once said that diets are made to be broken. Did you buy that? My inner rebel says that all the time. Lol.

That was just a stock photo. Just heard from his daughter: “He is doing much better. May go home tomorrow. Has been moved to a regular floor but not eating solid food yet. (For those who don’t know, he was taken to the hospital with sepsis last week.) Re our country: Our status will be touch and go for years to come, thanks to the high number of ignoramuses in our midst. Only an ignoramus could be duped by outside
forces that want to see America fall!
