Never dreamed of living this long or of any other length.  Just thought of it as if I knew that there were still things for me to do on this earth.  What?  Do not know.  Mostly all my life there have been little things that occurred to me to do that were insignificant in the long range according to my limited ability to discern, but seemed to be nice to do to make a small difference in the lives of others as well as myself.  As these most recent days go by, I recall incidences where others have stolen items or items have been given away or have been left behind.  Seeing photos of life over the past years that I have taken with my phone camera, I wonder what happened to this item or that one.  Some I just do not know.  However, it has occurred to me that I have been 6 degrees of relationship from quite a few people! 

Finally all dressed for the day and catching up on some things before resuming decorations for Christmas.  The tree is ready for lights!  So ...

Well, resting now after doing some morning chores, I will put the lights on the tree after a short rest.  I wonder at what has hapened to people all over the world.  Choosing violence rather than allowing life to proceed.  Blaming and finger pointing at the other as always being the cause.  It is not so.  The responsibility lies on both flanks of the ever unending wars popping out all over and now the observance and actual admittance of the cyber wars in which the lies are labeled misinformation - this a lie in itself.  The idea is to trick people into believing something so that they will make choices that favor disruption and destruction thinking otherwise???  Sleepwalking into death and disaster? Making selections that lead to further destruction?  Supporting the enemy in ways that remain hidden to most of the world??  Protecting oneself from the consequences???  Consequences that mean imprisonment have been supported and chosen by leaders who know of their guilt but proceed in different but similar ways to avoid a judgment of guilty???  Legalese becoming so abstract and often guided by fear since threats eminate from sources unkown as well as those identified.  Hate being promulgated as a method of defense since there are too many really very crazy ones out there who will procede to harm others as if commanded.

Ah well, I wish that I had the means to end that kind of behaviour, but I know that I do not.
