A Story of Love for the Pets of the Homeless.

Here is a story about the kindness of strangers. I sometimes watch the many Saturday morning pet stories. I came across a story about a veterinarian who provides free health care for the pets of the homeless on Skid Row in California. His name is Dr. Kwane Stewart, known as "The Street Vet." I was...

It's Going to be A Great Day !

Today, I made my daily transportation voyage from Waldorf, Maryland, to Annandale, VA. I recognized the thick traffic and the cloudy skies.

We All Need Something To Hold Out and Hold On to.

I don't know what triggered this title in my mind. Our world can be chaotic. We often wonder how to make it through the day, week, month, and year.

Life Is Not Always Fair But Don't Lower Your Expectations

We often hear children say, "Mom and Dad are not fair. I was supposed to be able to do this or that. Why don't I ever win?"

In America, we are going through a period of instability. Our Democracy has a lot in common with the mighty Redwood tree. The wind, rain, snow, heat, insects, and birds have picked at these trees for years. Yet, they continue to grow to heights of 350 feet. However, just like our Democracy, there...
