Happy Restorers of the World

A  L  O  H  A !

"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." 
            Franklin Roosevelt






'Skyline'
Life dances 
All around us.
Celebrate That!

your problems is the 
relationship you have 
with yourself."

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,

  6. I like your wisdom and common sense, Cloudia! Older pelple should not take themselves out of involvement with life.. Nor should self-induklgent, noninvolved young either.

  7. I noticed Frost said 'almost'. Case in point. The above post. I went to the site. He's a far right extremist nazi. A first class nut job.

  8. Didn't mean to say that even older folk are exempt from civic duty. Thanks for the wonderful engagement, 'Evil'

    Mike is referring to a spam comment I have removed.

  10. Pixie has the right idea about how to get through the winter!

    That spammer you deleted struck elsewhere earlier. He's also been deleted by the other blogger. He's been doing that for years.
