It's Not Always Tidy......

     or convenient, or ever-lasting.
         I think this snippet of a sentence was referring to love. How powerful love can be, but comes with a full baggage of stuff. Yours, mine and ours!
        I have written before, about all my loves. ( Well, maybe not all, in detail!) ( Sue knows the real details!)(and they are vault worthy!) I love, have a passion for all  kinds of love, for many things. Songs,smells, foods, people, love, love, love. It comes easy to me. ( no I'm not easy, but I did come up in the glory days of birth control pills!) ( another blog)
     This week I have loved a few things sooooo much, that I had to put pen to paper.
     Finished up 13 hours of the Roosevelt family saga on PBS.( not sure if it was on this channel, but you can find it) I love history. Like a high fever, I get delirious about our American history. This series was beyond anything I have seen , of late. I was a tad obsessed about dentistry , with Miss Eleanor looking so bad. I had to stop the program several times. ( Bill stopped it, because I would not stop talking about poor Eleanor) They had money, did they not have dentist back in the day, or people to help her look better? Just some thoughts. I love her, as she was, but.....did any of her girlfriends say, " Girl, you look awful!"
  I was, not surprised by FDR's need for attention, he had women in several different houses. Old flames, and cousins rubbing his crippled legs, what is with these men in power. OR should I  rephrase that, " What is wrong with women, do flock to these men of power! They are not leaving their wives!"
  Yes he did wonderful things for our country, I love some of him, I know love is not tidy.
   TR was pretty much crazy. He would be on medication today, or in Betty Ford. ( Do they still have Betty Ford places?) However, he had his moments of greatness also, I love bits and pieces of him too. Love sometimes is not convenient. I think I left the series, wishing that I loved a president like the people did, in earlier days. They LOVED their Presidents. I like mine, I want to be passionate about my party, again. I want to respect Congress, both sides. I'm not feeling the love.
    The last thing, maybe, that I want to leave you with, is the best line ever said.
    If you watch the TV show Scandal, you will understand. It too, is about Presidents!
    The poor presidents wife, who is in a bad place, said to her cheating husband, the President, " Just to let you know, I have not shaved in a long time! ( she pointed to her private parts!) It is like 1976, down there!!!!" I screamed with love for her!! The best spoken word, I have heard in ages!!
    Love is where you look for it! Its all around us, keep looking.
    I love my family, this week!(Ha!) I love my animals, my art class, Pebbles cereal, Christmas cards picked out early, Love, Love, Love, its all we need.
   If you are reading my blog, feel the love coming your way
