Happy Restorers of the World
A L O H A !

| N. Calif. Cloud Castle |
"Education is the ability to
listen to almost anything
without losing your temper
or your self confidence."
Robert Frost
"We need enthusiasm,
imagination, and the
ability to face facts,
even unpleasant ones."

"The relationship that solves
your problems is the
relationship you have
with yourself."
Diane Von Furstenberg
๛๛๛๛๛๛๛๛๘
At eventide
go inside and rest.
Restore your soul
as you repair
The World.
"The evil of the Day
is sufficient thereto."
But that day should contain
Clear Thought,
Action,
Kindness Above All.
Even to Yourself.
Call your elected servants.
Tell them what concerns you.
Visit, smile, bring donuts;
Be yourself. Calm down.
Make friends with the staff.
Be friendly and relaxed,
and have a sentence ready
that expresses your concern.
Don't linger too long.
But come back
in 3 weeks.
Leave a brief,
clear action letter
for their boss.
[Here is my concern and
proposed actions I'd like
to see happen.]
Don't be surprised
if you find yourself
sitting with your
Mayor, Congressman,
Representative,
and they ask for
your view!
Email testimony about a
statewide or local concern.
Share your opinion,
your values.
Find like-minded
citizen-friends.
Seek organizations
doing work you
believe in and
get on their email.
Why not run
for the school board
or Town Council?
We retired folks have
seen much come and go.
Though we remain involved
it is everyone's duty now
to come to the aid
of What Is Right.
There is urgency,
but no
Hurry & Worry.
We will pull through
Together.
We are happy warriors
making friends as we go!
So as evening rolls in,
even Winter's early eve,
rest, restore, and revel
in this moment!
I love each of You
who visit.
Thank You,
Your Friend,
