It has changed many of us and priorities are being re-examined (and changing for the better)...this is the proverbial silver lining in an otherwise crappy year. I'm glad that you have found your "good place".

I'm so glad I got the chance to meet you too, here in my garden, and hope to see you again one day soon. I'll miss your crazy antics with indoor seed sowing, the gorgeous pictures of borders brimming with flowers and the cussing when things don't go to plan. Good luck and best wishes with whatever you set your mind to next and I hope I'll see you around. Lots of love and hugs.

My focus right now is almost completely on my classroom as teachers across the country are heading into uncharted waters with virtual learning. It's not just about academics but all the interpersonal needs that are met at school for our kids that are being lost and it's a challenge to get the kids to attend if their parents are working and then to keep them engaged. It's also hard for teachers, who tend to be social, nurturing people, especially for my grade level, to work in isolation outside of our communities. Zoom isn't the same thing as being together in person but this too shall pass and I'm lucky to work with a group of phenomenal teachers who are all very close. <br /><br />It's up to me to make my journey amazing and that fits with my outlook on life, anyway. I don't believe there's a heaven or hell but what we create here on Earth and my goal is to make this life as beautiful as possible. Other doors are opening and it's time to see what's on the other side.

Ending my blog is ...I'm so glad you stopped by! Ending my blog is bittersweet but it's a decision I'm at peace with so it's time to leave the party. I'm still a smartass, a writer, a philosophizer, and a lover of life. You'll still see me pop up in your comments. I'm just done posting about my garden. <br /><br />As for our country, going from Obama to Trump was like going from heaven to hell. I'm very liberal but have a few close Republican friends and even they're horrified. How someone treats other people is a benchmark of their character and Trump is an asshat while Obama was a gentleman. But people who may have never run for office have been elected across the country, more women and minorities are now in political leadership positions, and activism is alive and well, which is the silver lining in a bullshit sundae. Lots of hugs from me to you and stay healthy!Casa Mariposahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16647089868277238456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289863235108169853.post-72676525948986827262020-08-15T18:39:20.018-04:002020-08-15T18:39:20.018-04:00Tammy girl .. I want to say "Please say it is...Tammy girl .. I want to say "Please say it isn't true !!" .. but alas I know it is, and of course you have to do what is best for YOU .. I'm so sorry not to have your blog to read with it's incredible sarcastic, witty, sense of humour .. Maybe you should consider a whole NEW blog ? ... you know you are never supposed to say NEVER don't you ? LOL<br />I feel for you and all your sensible, logical, fellow Americans, who have to pass this immensely difficult stage in it's history. <br />To have a completely corrupt (intellectually inept) con-artist enabled by a likewise party of sycophants and cult followers seemed impossible a few years ago but it only goes to show ANYTHING is indeed possible.<br />Yet ? it is such a bucket of cold water over the head, learning tool, to NEVER take your democracy for granted, ever again, if such a creature and his minions can hold the reins of power for any length of time ? again anything is possible.<br />The world is watching .. Canada is cringing .. waiting to see what happens, and to keep ourselves safe from what ever the fall out may be.<br />I wish only the best for you and your country .. right has to triumph over such incredible wrong at some point, by mathematical odds alone ? Fingers crossed on all fronts.<br />Take good care of yourself and enjoy your life to the fullest possible !
