Autumn – It’s my favorite season. Well, one of my favorites. I think I like the fall so much because it’s right after the relentless heat of summer, and that is a welcome break.

This past summer was busy for me, in a good way. It was bustling, exciting, and hopeful as it was filled with exciting ventures and meeting new people. I’m also on the new Threads App and it has been such a great experience. It’s filled with the best like-minded, positive, and supportive people. It’s my new hang out!

Another topic that has been keeping my attention, and keeping me busy with a lot of reading, is the status of our country. Wow. Can you believe it? Almost every day I am in shock about how our government is governing. I suspect what stuns me more, is there are people who continually support those who create chaos. Why?

I’ve come to the conclusion of why with this famous quote:

This quote hits a nerve with me because I was a person who was fooled by the chaos of our current politics. Of course, I didn’t like admitting I was wrong about my original assessment, but when I did admit it, it allowed me to see the truth and the undeniable facts. I remember the moment I realized what was going on and how Donald Trump played into it all. All of the sudden, me – a girl who had never paid attention to politics, began reading anything she could get her hands on to inform her of what was going on in the world. The former president made me pay attention to politics the way a heart attack makes someone pay attention to diet and exercise.

Now, as I watch people, and some I love, fall deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole of lies, I am concerned for them, but I am so thankful I am not one of them.
