I still have a blanket that I brought back from Morocco when I returned to the states in 1994. It's pure polyester but I've slept under it nearly every night since then, and I love it!Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-6154533880911141382017-01-11T14:45:22.977-05:002017-01-11T14:45:22.977-05:00I'm with Angella, I watched last night and cri...I'm with Angella, I watched last night and cried, it was a very fine speech and I could not be prouder of that very fine man. My husband, who never cries, was also sniffling. I cannot bring myself to watch or listen to the orange bastard. The TV was on in our break room at work and I had to turn it off to eat lunch. Just cannot bear it. <br />xoxo<br />BarbaraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-44496523150551281392017-01-11T13:20:09.662-05:002017-01-11T13:20:09.662-05:00I keep wanting to buy one of those soft blankets, ...I keep wanting to buy one of those soft blankets, many of my clients have them. There is one in particular that I wrap up all snug before I leave. But, yes? What are they made of? Your description made me laugh. <br /><br />As for the state of the world, well, I don't know what to say. I guess I am just focusing on love. <br />Whether it's the end of a day, at the end of a life, let's hope that is what we have. Angry politicians can do so much damage but can't take away our love. In fact, they make me more determined.

In the realest real sense. <br />I did not WATCH Trump speak, I listened on NPR as I did my chores. Now I feel sick to my stomach and my anxiety is peaking again. I must learn to either NOT listen or to be able to put what he says into a place which does not actually hurt me. And yes, you do need one of those blankets.

Or at least, MORE of that person than I am when I am crippled by anxiety. I am so glad to hear that your granddaughter is doing well. May this continue and may she be a happier and more productive soul because the world needs all of those people it can get. And because she is loved.

I watched him. And then this morning I watched a bit of Trump's press conference as he tried to approximate how a president should speak (truly, you could see him trying) and it was like a three year old pretending as hard as he could and failing, but nothing cute about it at all. Now that, I really couldn't watch. Maybe I need one of those blankets.37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-801522561839060512017-01-11T12:23:51.982-05:002017-01-11T12:23:51.982-05:00Dear, dear Mary:

My granddaughter had a total breakdown starting about this time last year. She was hospitalized for two months, and has been in group and individual therapy ever since. In the beginning I was OPPOSED to mood altering drugs. I didn't want to see her abilities compromised. Then, in the hospital, they said we need to give her meds, and explained them. No, she is not the same girl I signed into lock down. But, I enjoy every day of watching this child, who has no more demons in her head, grow into a lovely woman. She's not what I started with, and I don't care. She is who she is, and that is a an interesting person. People remark to me she is kind, sweet, caring, thoughtful. She's a good student. Has friends. I am grateful to the professional medical people who are guiding us through this.<br />And, I'm grateful for your meds, too.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601010208310707750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-34674220853628700182017-01-11T11:31:44.431-05:002017-01-11T11:31:44.431-05:00I couldn't watch, either.

And his wonderful family. <br />Since the monster's election, though I have seen some incredible instances of goodwill, not by him or his party, of course. It is up to the rest of us to take care of each other, the repugnants are only in it for themselves.<br />God Bless America<br />JoyceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
