Star Word: Justice

 My 2020 star word  was "Unwind"

Looking forward for something

 I could do at home---

Just me—-

I asked for 2021 word hoping for just the same. . . 

But no.  “Justice”

How can I do this at home alone? 

I can't go out in crowds, non-fiction bores me,

Blood pressure can't handle disagreements.

Listening to Amanda, I began to understand:

"Justice" can be my platform, my stand.

It's not just me or just them but just us.

Working together, even while living my alone life.

If my foundation is "Justice”, I can stand,

And fight at home with words. 

Don't need to justify or argue— just stand

for what is just and true—Justice.

Between Two Worlds

Most of my life, I've considered it fortunate that I was just ahead of the Baby-boom. Generally, the Baby-boomers were born between 1946 and 1964 after the fathers returned from World War II. It was a huge population explosion that has reverberated through American society.

This blog will be part history, part memories, part reflections of a retired teacher, but active "Senior". I have always felt like I straddled two generations forming a bridge. Sometimes I think like a baby-boomer, but sometimes I'm locked into my parents' Depression era thinking. I'm a dichotomy of two eras. But, I'm always ready to try something new---so here I am dipping my toes in the water of Blogworld.
