Dancing

The foot work of Fred Astaire.
Dance appeal.
Cutting a rug.
Dance comes naturally to everyone.

Move to music.

It makes you feel good.
Stretch your body.
Have fun.
Lose weight.
Get toned.
Do a lot of dancing.

 I love dancing, especially ballroom dancing.

Election Aftermath

The election results are clear.
The path forward is not.

What will happen?

Taxes.
Interest rates.

Markets.

The economy. 

We live with uncertainty.

Financial effects—

Some we can’t control.

Some we can. 

I think the economy will improve now that President Obama has been re-elected and Republicans will have less reason to obstruct.

Veterans Day

Click Here for books about
Veteran's Day

Veterans Day:

A day to reflect

on the selfless service

of brave men and women

who chose to defend this great nation,

who risk their lives,

who protect the freedoms

that Americans cherish. 

Veterans are proud of the service

they give to their country.

A simple thank you

will put a smile on their faces.

I remember the little paper red poppies we used to wear on Veteran’s Day.  Do people still do that?

America

The remarkable story

of Obama’s rise

from humble beginnings

to a two-term presidency

is a testament

to the greatness and glory

of America. 

Billionaires poured millions

into Mitt Romney’s campaign,

but Americans cannot be bought.

Democracy works. 

Independent

freedom-loving people,

the people of America. 

America—a great country.

 

The people of America were the heros of the 2012 election. The fought back against voter suppression and voted.

Class

Embrace your inner gentleman.

Feel free to pull out my chair.

I won’t judge you.

 

Modern women still appreciate small courtesies on appropriate occasions.

Attitude of Gratitude

How can we get on the path of gratitude
when the sludge of everyday life
gets in the way?

Focus on even the tiniest things

that are going right.

Shift yourself out of fear,

out of despair.

Gratitude

even when nothing
is going right.

Get past the obstacles on the path to gratitude.

Cultivate an attitude of gratitude.  You’ll find yourself feeling happier.

President Barak Obama

re-elected.

The perennial swing state,

Ohio,
put the president over the top.

An Obama victory celebration.

Mitt Romney conceded.
