"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,

Wisdom, clouds AND Pixie. Thank you.
Aloha
Lovely joyful clouds.
I like that castle cloud and the streched Pixie, taking a heat bath.
I like winter facilities. I embrace.
J'adore your words of wisdom Cloudia, wise words of peace, calm and intelligent discussion. Communication is a powerful medium.
Wow, thanks for these comments Friends!
Excellent post, absorbing it all, and will hold the thought of Miss Pixie being wowed by comfort!
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.
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.
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.
THANKS DEARS!
Great post!! I love your advice, and the cloud pictures are marvelous. I would support Pixie for President right about now.
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.
Clouds build dreams but wise woods help too.

A perfect post for the times, Cloudia!
If we get snow I will show you the lantern! ;-)
Oh, I so love your clouds...clouds such as those always thrill me beyond believe. Those are glorious shots.
Great advise. Communications is how we the people changed the SF public schools.
Beautiful puffy clouds, I love it
Beautiful photos, and thanks for your words of advice and encouragement! You are very wise.
Thanks friends. I love your comments
Awesome clouds.
Hi Cloudia, I popped in here from Skywatch Friday. Love the sky images and quotes. And I LOVE the cat by the fireside. Have a great day. Jo (South Africa)
Beautiful post and pics.
Greetings
In the last photograph it does look like the clouds are dancing. Have a wonderful week-end.
Hello, beautiful skies and cloud captures. Thanks for sharing your wise words and advice.
Happy Friday, enjoy your weekend!
