President Lincoln’s assassination: Washington, D.C. Hanging hooded bodies of the four conspirators; crowd departing.

The picture doesn’t relate to the post as well as it could, but it fits my mood. I just paid almost $5 a gallon of gas and I am angry.

I am tired of feeling like I am being lied to. Tired of listening to political rhetoric from people who don’t know what they are talking about and from those who refuse to vote.

I am tired of listening to complaints from those who are unwilling to try to change.

Change is frightening. It is scary. I don’t like it much, but I am doing things differently because when things don’t work you have to shake it up, you have to mix it up.

I Am Committed

I am committed to making the changes I have to make to improve things in the areas I feel need improving. I wrote this post because I am going to make my book happen.

These are not just words but they feel a bit like it so I am making a list of things I have accomplished for myself. It is a way to see that I am making progress.

My pushup workout is moving along. I am not anywhere close to 500 day but I am on my way. Every day I work at it. Every day I make an effort.

I am impatient.

I am dedicated.

I will.

This was part of Stream of Consciousness Sunday. Five minutes of writing without editing. I cheated and grabbed the photo in advance but the words are what I came up with in 5 minutes.
