20201109 WRITING FOR TODAY, IF YOU CAN CALL IT THAT

 *sigh*


I wrote in my Writings Journal today, after a 2+ month gap.  So here I am again, wondering what to write.

It's time to talk to George, so I won't write much now.

I have a list of 5 things to do today, so I need to move into "list mode" soon.

About the 2+ month gap:  I have many reasons why I stopped (arm pain - but that shouldn't have stopped EVERYthing, the presidential election - but again, that shouldn't have stopped ANYthing, hip pain - but that was relatively recent, and it's apparently not serious), and many more reasons why I SHOULD have continued (I'm getting older and have "that much" less time to write, it keeps me hopeful during times of doubt, I wish I had a record of the thoughts & feelings I've had during the presidential election cycle)

But I have to live with the 2+ month gap.

 I will add that I am OVERLY GLAD - ELATED - EXCITED - HAPPY - about the election results.  I went back and forth, even after they announced that Biden had won.  It's been a torturous 4 years with Trump in the WH; it now feels calming and assuring that we will be OK in America.

Also, very educational.

20200708 WRITING - DAY 8

Yesterday's edited work: My Black Tee Shirt Everyone I know has a collection of seldom-worn tee-shirts.  I must have a hundred tees (stored stacked, stuffed and stashed) (in various places) around my bedroom.  The nice ones get a hanger in my closet.  The less-frequently-worn ones get folded and stored in a dresser drawer, seldom opened.  And the worn out ones occupy a shelf near my gym stuff.  And this is where my black tee shirt has been for the last several years. It was given to me years ago by my former significant other, Ed.  It's jet black, with a white image of 3 men on horseback, and in large white letters GEORGIA'S STONE MOUNTAIN.  I'm wondering now if the colors have significance.  Ed had visited Atlanta on business, and had gone to see the Stone Mountain monument which has carvings of 3 confederate generals on horseback. He brought me back the tee shirt as a "trip gift." Until the other day, I had never bothered to ask myself or anyone...

20200703 WRITING - DAY 3

*********** So, today I'll write my random thoughts about the tee shirt. It was given to me by my former significant other, Ed Ross.  He had visited Atlanta and had gone to see the Stone Mountain monument.  It has carvings of 3 confederate generals (Lee, Jackson, Davis) on horseback. I had never even known that it was a monument to these 3 who were enemies of the Union, slavery supporters, and fought against freedom and equality for black Americans. Today we're considering in the USA whether we should have monuments to confederate soldiers and leaders ANYwhere in our country.  Mississippi decided THIS WEEK to remove the confederate part of their State flag.  Wow - more than 150 years after the South lost the Civil War!  And some Southerners STILL want to keep the flag, and the monuments. Well, my tee shirt was a gift that I've been wearing - UNKNOWINGLY supporting the confederacy - for more than 20 years.  I'm sure that some have seen it and wondered why I ...
