Tuesday Coffee Chat

It's a New Year! 

What is one positive thing about 2017, 

and one negative thing about the forthcoming year?  

I am looking forward to 2017, as I always do.  I don't make resolutions but I try to leave myself open to change.  2016 was the year we found out about Mr BC's kidney failure. He was so sick last winter, and it took many months for him to reach some part of good health. This is a chronic situation, we will strive this year to restore some of what he lost last year, so that he can be more self-sufficient, and we can with some adjustment maybe do some RV traveling.

The negative of 2017....I can only hope, that Trump will do better than I think he can and not be as bad a president, as I believe he will be. If there was ever a time for the legislative and judicial branch to work together, to keep the executive branch checked and balanced, this is it. I am willing to wait and see, as that is about all I can personally do. I do hope that the Affordable Care Act doesn't get repealed before something better can be put in place.

Confession is Good! Tuesday Coffee Chat

Join me and Rory at Time Out for Mom, for a Tuesday Coffee Chat. Today, she asks us about a Random Confession, as it is good for the soul.

I have confessed some things in other posts and they range from being a Star Trek fan, having a crush on Justin Timberlake (I am 60+) to naming my cars. I have spoken about my change of heart with Fundamental Christianity and move to more universal humanism.  I am no longer a Republican, but not a full fledged Liberal in my politics. So in saying all this I must search for a new confession to share here and it probably won't be too earth shattering.

Some things I found while looking around for something to confess to, and that are true about me:

Oh, I  got it! I got an e-mail about my  50th HS reunion, I don't want to go, and not because I will be on a trip that week, not because it is in CA and I am in Missouri, but because I went to the 40th and everyone who showed up were the campus big wigs back in the day. They hadn't changed much except they still thought they were important.  Most of the folks I wanted to see didn't come and I was bored to tears. I am hoping by liking the FaceBook page, I will be able to friend some folks, I would like to catch up with.
