The heat is on...

In our area, of course it is May now, but we appear to be echoing our March and April's nineties weather, degrees Fahrenheit that is, whether we want to or not, most every day and that is HOT even for sunny FLORIDA, for May.
Sure hot is better than heavy winds, stormy, heavy rains, tornadoes, drought, mudslides, flooding or snow that our country has been having nightly reported on the news.
Even some mild tremors of the earthquake nature were felt in California a few weeks ago, thankfully that, so far, did not signal the BIG ONE...yet, as they out there, tend to say.

So between the world killing each other, police killing non-suspects and suspects and suspects or non-suspects killing police, terrorists running rampant, earthquakes in Asia, and volcanic eruptions in South America, doom and gloom seems to be all around us. Train crashes, planes crashes...Domestic violence is on the rise, human trafficking is too numerous and devastating to hear and within our realm sadly, drugs are plentiful and this time I mean illegal ones; all of this makes one feel helpless to make a dent in it all for what can we do.
Overwhelming, hmm?
And that is an understatement.

Natural disasters are out of our hands, although we should listen to emergency management people to be prepared for our own local weather problems to know what to do, but local legal issues can be under our control with getting involved in local government on a smaller scale from city meetings and committees we do have the power to change laws, and voting might be the most important factor in anyone's life to be a part of the answer instead of apathetic and have that feeling of not being able to do anything, our votes count, get involved.

Many problems that are  mentioned on the nightly news do have peaceful ways to handle them if educating the general population with on the how. Theft is usually due to people feeling the need to have more than they can get by legal means, a feeling of life gypping them. Education and jobs and a way to know that there is a better way for them to get what they want.
Mental health issues to date seem to be one of the most definitive reasons people have killed, intervention with people who have these severe illnesses needs to be identified sooner rather than later and medically helped before these horrendous acts occur. So it is  better for people to pay closer attention in the family, by friends, at school, or work situations etc. is so very necessary.

Families that are frustrated by money woes or addiction issues appear to be the highest ones with domestic violence, easier reporting and removal of parties being dangerous should not be short term there should be much more counseling when anything is reported for all parties safety as well as law enforcement intervening. Proper psychiatrists and clergy should be involved in talking out any domestic disputes, novices have proven to NOT know what will push the wrong buttons, which have caused deaths!

These are just some probable redundantly ways that you have more than likely heard of to try to change this world a little bit one day at a time, as if walking one step at a time...and such is life.

Of course if you are A-political you can always turn the news off and stay in your hidey hole and let the chips fall where they may...or talk a good story and suggest, as many do and not follow through either, or complain and again do not-a-thing! Sorrowfully true for most.

That is the best part of being/existing, if lucky enough to be in the land of the free and the home of the brave we all have choices!

On that thoughtful note allow me to be the very first to wish you all a very happy good night and ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages with you know whom and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!

PS tonight's my last night of ear drops, hooray!  I was told to go for eight days' use and I am done!
