Pledge

I wonder what would happen if the Congress and the Senate got together and took away that extended privilege of the Executive Order . . . the Emperor might find he is without clothes.

There are some things that never should be changed.  The pledge of allegiance is one of them.  If we say what we mean and mean what we say then there would be no divided America.   "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and  to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God , with liberty and justice for all."

Saturday is here.   A stormy week has passed and more coming.   Winter, the blustery time of year.   Get out the recipes for a good stew or soup, make enough in a big crock pot to last all week as it gets better as it sits.   If you feel like you want and need a down time, put on a fire, or turn up the thermostat, be comfortable, warm and cozy and grab a good book and hunker down.    Take a day off.   Be good to you today.    Your world is not going to come to an end just because you are not running around in circles.  Just think of what a gift you give yourself when you take time out to take care of YOU.   Renewed energy for all those walk in hugs and smiles you will share.    Be a Queen or a King for today, you not only need it,  you deserve it.  Hugs to all.
