(I pretty much have a good day EVERYDAY…so sweet up here!)
******
1. I know I am having a good day when __wake up and DO NOT READ THE NEWS, FOR ONCE!
2. I __cook when I am __hungry and inspired and when I want to do something that makes me very, very happy.
3. The present government in the USA___ makes me feel helpless.
4. I have a lot of confidence in my ability to ___overcome that feeling of helplessness and look and work toward a democratic future for our wounded country!
The whole world seems to be moving to the right! T’s war has caused economic uncertainty, but why would anyone think that the Right can help that? They are the ones who created the problem!!!
The right often feels prejudice against anyone different from their ideas of how one should be, they want borders to keep new blood out of our society when it sorely needs it (!), and they create barriers to freedom of religion, speech, even thinking (although it’s hard to control THAT at least).
And El Niñ0 on the move. No one can change that!

Make sure to check your cooling systems, if you have one, to prepare for summer’s heat.
But, here in Rome’s amazing streets, mama sees smiling faces and energy and much to be thankful for. We probably left out some things yesterday….the list is so long!









I only read the headlines, and scan a bit of the article of some, and so know what’s going on but I don’t dwell on it. I can only work, do my part, and vote. Election is coming up here next Saturday, I will be ready.
YAY YAY that you vote. SO many do not. Sigh…
I try not to read the news but it’s like seeing a train wreck…you just can’t seem to pull your eyes away from it.
Mama says you have hit on it. It’s very hard not to watch, and maybe, just maybe, think of a solution…
Good answers LouLou & Mama !
Mercy buckup…fill-ins are very inspiring.
It is a good day here, the sun is out, it isn’t hot, and the grass still looks good after a mowing a few days ago…so why then do I need to be plagued with a doozy of a headache? I haven’t had a headache in ages!
Oh, so sorry for the head thing…drink lots of water and pinch the skin between thumb and index finger on one hand with the fingers of the other. Sometimes works. Mama used this on the kids when they had a headache. It helped who knows why?
I always to that acupressure move, for years already. Sometimes it helps, sometimes, not. Today the answer was no…took all day to dissapate.
But right now I feel fine!
OH, good, and yet another is to put five fingers on one side of the scalp and five on the other sidee and press for 10, then release, then do it again until the headache gets better. Another is to put an ice cube on the arch of your foot and leave it until you can’t, then do it again.
hey lou lou, may 8th is world donkey day!!!
WOW WOW WOW. Wish we had known that what with all the photos of donks that we have. Darn! Maybe we’ll just honor them on Sunday…hee haw!
Those were all good fill-in answers!

Mercy buckup, Mr T. I thought I hadn’t helped mama remember to do her fill-ins and she was watching an octopus movie on Netflix about “bright creatures”….wonderful…
