Guilt, 70% Off

     I saw this advertisement for a store, its name was GUILT, and they had a 70% off sale.
     A bargain will always cause me to stop, look around, and maybe purchase. BUT a store named Guilt?

     Guilt is not part of my vocabulary. So I can not, even online, browse a store with this name.
   
     Guilt reigns supreme in mothers of the 40's and 50's, running into the 60's and beyond. I have never bought into that horrible feeling, that especially women, put back on themselves.
      Remorse and regret, certainly I meet daily.
      Toxic Guilt where it is an offense, crime, violation against moral or penal law!!! Good lord, that even sounds horrible. Jewish mother quilt, Catholic confession guilt, mommy quilt, its not healthy.
      That was just something that caught my attention, this week.

      I am desperately trying to not have the TV on, any news, or look at anything on social media, about this election. People have to be very careful, what they put into their brain. Do your own research, and feel good about your choices. Honestly, I may have to see a doctor, after this election. It has baffled me, this total break down in human behavior.

       I have voted, and held hands with this black young man, at the booth, because I was so emotional. ( I asked him, to pray with me) I made the sign of the cross, and was so thankful to live in a country where you can vote. ( but ashamed of people in our country) ( not all, but 40% at least)
   
      The weather is beautiful, and touches me so much, and I want all these angry humans, to just go outside and sit with yourself, and do good things. Heavens to Betsy, be kind. In thought, words and action. Be the change that your want to happen, we have to work on ourselves first, and then change the world. ( I think that is probably in a Bob Dylan song) (dang, I may have to pay copy write laws)( no I said his name, so its good) ( Maybe it was Michael Jackson?? no, that was We Are the World?? OMG, I can not think of all the people who I borrow from!! just know that I do thank all!!)

I have no remorse, regret or guilt for rambling!!
   and abrupt changes of thought, hang on.....
        I looked up the origins of all my ancestors names this week, so much fun.

              That is about it, on this hump day in October. Hot in Atlanta, climate change is real, do your research, don't be stupid! I will embrace the heat, but you heat haters better make some plans.
              Mom and Dad are good, still many repairs from Matthew , but they are hanging.
              All my kids, are good. ( And if they are not, don't tell me! I am in a good space right now!)
