Good morning! Everyone!

Life struggles is my middle name, lol. I’ve been ill for over a few months now. Not feeling well is the end result of what is going on, I hope. Many times someone can be ill and still function but my illness has attacked my immune system, I have three strikes against me; Crohne’s, Entyvio, and the massive amounts of prednisone I’ve been on. The prednisone has been strong and it led to Shingles, and that is painful and not good at my age with my immune system, it’s so compromised. I’m trying to not get more ill, my disease can cause all kinds of terrible problems.

I gotta say though, even being ill, I had a great time with my granddaughter this last Saturday, despite the early afternoon exhaustion. She is a very empathetic and sympathetic 15 year old, so I never feel like I have to be Super-Nana! I always feel good and comfortable around my grandchildren because of how they have been raised, with a lot of honesty and openness of most all things. Not the way I did it with their mama and her sisters, I have to say that I prefer the outcome of the little people when total openness has been in the relationship of the mama and children. My children are much more hard-hearted I think, with the exception of my youngest, my grandchildren’s mama. Confusing, I’m sorry.

I really just want to be young again, this being ill and missing out on life it for the birds! I’m going to try to go out today for a short time. My daughter has befriended a gentleman from her employ that does not work with her any longer. He’s around 60 I guess, close to my age, he was diagnosed with cancer, pretty bad case of it too. My daughter has taken on of her own freewill caring for him, by doing a variety of things for him. Among these things are taking work off with permission to spend sunrise to dark with him at the hospital while getting chemo, she’s bought Christmas decorations and lights and surprised him with a festive holiday, she watches over him like a mother hen, today, I’ve been invited to go with her to his home while she shaves his head, he’s ready to give it up. I’m not contagious, only to those that haven’t had chicken pox, so, I may try going out with her to visit with them during the change.

I’m very interested in following the government issues of this era, but, the anxiety it causes is horrendous. My husband watches, reads, studies and writes letters on behalf of our President Trump, yes, we are conservative and proud of being a Christian! I make no apologies, it has become my  husbands life. He’s a 100% disabled veteran, my husband, that is. I just fine it all appalling and it causes me fear when I think all this through and see where this country will eventually fall to. Our current President I believe has been seated in our Whitehouse by God, their just is no explanation as to all the things I have learned and studied in these last six years! I’m not preaching, people can believe and do what they please, sort of, it’s getting more rare. Out veterans who gave us our freedom and the sanctity of this country layed on their shoulders as it does now for our active duty, but the illegal immigrants are getting something for nothing that meant precious trust to me, a driver’s license! It was instilled in me that it is a PRIVILEGE to have a license and drive in this country! Now, it means nothing and you can rest assured our insurance rates will go up! If Sander’s were to win, his free medical care for all will cost those that make $26,000 dollars or more in a year. So, see, nothing is free, please follow God and Jesus’ way and stay the path because as soon as the Democrats or whatever they have turned into take back the Whitehouse it ill be the end of our freedoms (they already are taking them, look at how unfair they are in a simple impeachment)! Right, wrong or otherwise it HAS been carried out illegally, and that is what the Dem’s stand for.  If nothing else, tear yourself from the headlines of the media, do some research on all parties, think their thoughts and ideas through, all of them, look at the people that are running for President, do they look the part of President, do they sound the part of the President, do they truly care about you, what would their presidency do to your life or better yet the lives of your children and their children to come. Our responsibility is not to today, it is to our children’s future. I plead choose sides, vote, but don’t base your decisions and knowledge on headlines and hearsay. It’s serious and scary and most people don’t delve into it, I never would have. But, I’ve had to accept it and it’s become important, just not my only focus. LOL.

I need to get well, that’s too much politics for me!

I haven’t been to church lately, I seem to be mad at both of them.
