oh darn!

I just wrote a huge long blog and lost it.  I hate it when that happens.  It’s only happened once before and both times I got off on a political rant.  I think it must be a sign. 

You poor bloggers already have to put up with menopausal moanings, financial mother-hen warnings, recipes and what-not.  I guess my blog guardian angel is saying, “No, Meg!  I won’t let you.” Because anyone who knows me knows that I have quite strong feelings and views on things.  I try to keep a lid on it, because I feel that everybody is entitled to their own opinion.  That’s what makes up a democracy.  But sometimes when people have a polar opposite point of view about things that I care deeply about, I find it hard to catch my breath.  My heart starts beating really fast.  And I feel I have to speak out or I become part of the problem, but then that doesn’t solve anything.  And it’s hard for some people to look at the facts and so they get personal in their attacks and it’s not fun.  I learned that it’s best for me to just go along in my quiet life, following my gut.  Trying to educate myself to make an informed decision.  I do what I can and the I let the rest go.  I can’t fix the world.  No one can. 

I’m sorry I hit the wrong button and zoomp, the whole blog evaporated.  Other than the political bit that burst forth, it was quite a cozy blog about missing my daughter, the airport, the empty house, the dogs.  Mark and his wife with her mouth full of toothpaste.  Ah well.  I have to go do real writing now. 

Safe trip home Emily.  I love you.  xo
