Resist... however you can...

hello, my lovelies...

long time no type...

things have been good with me, just busy and i am working on finding a way to be here in the blogosphere much more frequently.  i'm working on a post for another day that will show why it's hard for me to do that.  hee-hee...a little teaser for you.

one of the things i've been doing is not focusing on the negativity of what is happening.  it hit me one moment that reading it all and reposting all that is just increasing my rage and anger and is not helping anyone, especially me.

we ALL know everything is wrong.  in fact, there is a song, sung by Sigrid, that i first heard from the movie Justice League (and know i did not know it was written by Leonard Cohen, i just discovered that looking up the lyrics).

here are some of the verses or stanzas.  geez for an ex-chorus girl you would think i would remember this. anywho, not the whole song, but it sure is a good one.  and i love Sigrid's version.

Everybody Knows 

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died

Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long stem rose
Everybody knows

And everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

And everybody knows that it's now or never
Everybody knows that it's me or you
And everybody knows that you live forever
Ah when you've done a line or two
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton
For your ribbons and bows
And everybody knows

And everybody knows that the Plague is coming
Everybody knows that it's moving fast

But there's gonna be a meter on your bed
That will disclose
What everybody knows


Everybody knows

so today i think i'll post some things that help me when i get overwhelmed with the rage and anger.  so much, i've started printing them and taping them in my book of me.  it's fun to flip through and see what made me feel good that day or smile or laugh or whatever.

yes, laughter is resistance.  so is love, and joy, and smiles, and hugs and all of the good things that are not so much missing in our lives, but are being pushed under the rage and hate and racism.  we certainly are not born hating anyone.  we are born loving everyone.  it is something we need to remember and encourage.

alright, enough chit chat!

well...that's all i've got for today, i've been up since about 3am and thought i'd have this up by 10. hahahaha...yeah, right.  

hopefully, i'll be back soon.

i sure hope you are all doing the best you can, given what the world is like and that your personal little world is a good, beautiful, sunshiney place, or if you're like me a place with sunshine, thunderstorms and cloudy skies in almost equal measure.  

y'all be good, 

thanks for being here...

love & kisses & magical wishes

ps...in the preview i see that at the end of the post i linked to in the book of me link i had named it my collective, i can't remember if i ever came back and said i changed it.  just too pretentious sounding for my southern twangy voice, in my head, anyway.  :)
