Reflections

Its been awhile since posting, I don’t know…I just, was at a loss for what to write about. A lot has changed since then. Great things are happening. I am engaged to the most amazing man in the world! I will tell the sweet story in my next post. I also work at a hotel now and while I took a big pay cut, the job is low stress and I already got a COL raise! I am happier and grateful. I am also struggling against anxiety and depression over the current state of the world. Today is 9/11/21, so I am wanting to share my thoughts on the 20th anniversary by sharing my Facebook post:

My reflections 20 years later won’t be like most others. Keep scrolling, this post isn’t up for debate. My daughter is 20, she was a tiny baby when it happened…many would consider 20 still such a short time, the blink of an eye. 9/12/01 I saw us all become New Yorkers, Americans, “One”, and outraged…it was to become the last time that would happen.

Now I see, in 20 short years, most of you buy into the government and media rhetoric of difference, division towards your own neighbors. How sad. Now I see we can’t disagree with each other. I see people getting called awful things for feeling one way politically or even questioning things like censorship. I see many of you sympathizing with criminals and crime, not police. I see many of you want to persecute those with differing ways of healing themselves, and saying if you do X or don’t do Y, you should not be allowed in the hospital if you get sick…I see the vandalism of tribute flags for the fallen, nothing is sacred anymore. I am so ashamed of humans but especially this country right now. We used to set the bar. How sad.

Just speaking for myself only, I see how my morals and my thoughts have caused me to get unfollowed and unfriended in mass (I consider losing at least 20 people in a year or 2, many of which I’d known since GRADE SCHOOL in mass.) 🤷🏼‍♀️. I see that even when I have great news to share (Facebook algorithm shares things like births, engagements, marriages to EVERYONE), not even a third of my list clicks the like button. I’ll see those types of announcements in my feed for someone that is never in my feed….

20 short years. 😢

Reality check: God is watching. And guess what, even if you are an atheist, there is right and wrong. And humanity and common sense. Let’s bring back our humanity; if something great happens to someone who votes for the other candidate, congratulate them! If something terrible happens, offer your condolences !! If someone on your friends list pops into your head, that’s not an accident, go to their page and check on them!!! In my humble opinion, if we don’t bring this brotherly love and humanity back, it’s gonna be a matter of life and death. ☠️

Choose 🕉 and ♥️ and ☮️ ,not ☠️
