Morning News Everyday I wake up wondering what's new in the news. This morning, 4 things jumped out, in about 5 minutes of news. 1 - Trump questioned whether we should delay the presidential election. (that angered and sort of horrified me) 2 - Herman Cain, who got Covid after attending the Tulsa rally, died this morning. (that saddened and frustrated me) 3 - We've reached over 150,00 deaths in the U.S. (that worried me briefly. Then I worried that I'm getting numb to numbers) 4 - Tex. Rep. Gohmer tested positive after refusing to wear a mask on Capitol Hill. (that baffled and annoyed me) Good Trouble After watching 5 minutes of stressful news, I watched the memorial service for Rep. John Lewis. After frowning at the news on my TV, I found myself smiling... at a memorial service. Three former presidents honored the Civil Rights icon. I smiled at the stories and I cringed at the reminders of what he put himself through, in his 80 years. It took a lot of Good Trouble... over 40 arrests, to accomplish what he did.
At the end I teared up at "We Shall Overcome" and I had to smile again at the special song, written for the memorial. "Good Trouble". Rest in Peace, Mr. Lewis.

Not-So-Happy List
Cancer, Covid & Coronary... I started this complaining list/blog, in May 2016. I posted 200 gripes about my breast CANCER and then I was done. On March 13, 2020, I started venting all over again, when another disease (starting with a C) interfered with my life. This time it was the invasion of COVID and it affected every person. I ranted for a year, until I got my COVID vaccine in March 2021. CORONARY Artery Disease was the reason I restarted this blog on September 26, 2021. This time it was my hubby Don, who was dealing with a worry that started with the letter "C". Coronavirus and Cancer, Coronary Artery Disease! All are evil, but none can totally get me down... if I vent! I usually end up feeling a little more positive at the end of each post! Navigating This Mess! The most recent post is at the top, from coronary posts in 2022, back to cancer posts in 2016. To find past posts, look below the "Archives" section, to find "Categories". Archives
