It's 60 days until spring

Sunday we watched our Kansas City Chiefs pull another miracle out of their magic hat.  What moments of pure joy they've given their fans during this pandemic we're going through.  You know they have to be good if they were able to convert a football-hater like me into a true believer!  

Every year around August I'd start dreading football season:  My defense against boredom during those difficult times was to put headphones on, play classical music to cover up the sounds of football, and read a book.  Now, I count the minutes until the next Chiefs game.  I've really been hoping I could transfer that feeling over to all football games, but I just can't care about the outcome of a game if the Chiefs aren't in it.  Who knows, that may still happen; I'm still just learning how the basic game works.

January and February are my least favorite months, and January will be gone before we know it.  I try not to wish my life away, but I just don't deal well with winter any more.  It's hard to believe I was milking cows twice a day for much of my life and loving it.

You know what?  I'm trying to do a blog entry here, and I have nothing.  NOTHING!  

I am in a low spot right now, partly because of the election:  Trump was ruining our country, and I did want him gone.  Unfortunately, that left me voting for Biden, a man I neither admire or trust, but I don't see how things could be any worse than they have been the last four years.  It sure leaves a bad taste in my mouth, though.  

I'm having bad feelings about tomorrows events, and that's unsettling.  I just feel like something is going to happen somewhere in the world.  Maybe when tomorrow is behind me, I'll get my mind back on finding a topic for my blog each day.

Until then,

Peace.

  1. Well, just think if we were crooks and needed a pardon and would pay 100,000 dollars we could have a clean slate all because of President Trump. The rioters were mostly poor ignorant folks so I doubt any of them get their windshield wiped clean. Trump was a horrible President and the First Lady will go down as the only one that posed nude for magazines. Be careful what you admire,I guess is the lesson here. Donna, you can delete this if you want as I know I am on a rampage.

  2. Oh, things could be a lot worse, Donna.... as our country is about to witness. Pedophiles being allowed to get into the bathroom stall, next to the 10yo girl in her little pink panties... high school boys allowed to be "transgender" for the day and use the same locker room as the cheerleaders (how many unknown cell phone pictures do you think are going to be taken?!!)... a middle-aged man, dressed in a suit & with a woman's wig on the top of his head, being appointed to some office in central government... multiple social media accounts of conservative organizations & people (congressmen & women) being deleted without explanation... the list is endless. Black Lives Matter setting out to raise h*ll against police officers on Martin Luther King Jr Day, with 28 arrests being made and 11 officers hurt, yet nothing is reported in the media about it... and on and on. Things can get a lot worse and we're about to witness it. I predict the National Prayer Breakfast will be an event of the past next year and it will be open hunting season on the elderly and unborn. I predict we will have so many immigrants at the border, demanding to be let into our country, that we will never be able to count them all.... and I also predict terrorist attacks from foreign countries will begin again in earnest. It will be a crime to openly be a Christian and to quote the Bible, even on this platform. The American people are going to get what they wanted and I hope they're happy. I know I won't be but no one can blame me for what's about to take place. God help us all~ Andrea xoxo

    1. I don't see your particular vision as mine. I'm just worried about getting through tomorrow. "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has trouble enough of its own." Matthew 6:34

  3. For me, every season is off season for me. I much prefer reading to watching a football game, baseball game, round of golf, soccer match, etc. I may tune into the final minutes just so I fit in around the group chat the following day when someone asks about those (insert team name here).

    As vague as "something will happen somewhere" tomorrow, I'm guessing that is a self fulfilling prophesy that will always come true to those who worry about such things. The question is will it be deemed newsworthy to breathlessly rehash from six points of view on the evening news. The media loves those who worry endlessly about things that haven't yet happened. You are their bread and butter audience.

    1. I think the worrying just goes with old age. I used to be quite the positive thinker! I often remind myself, it ain't over till it's over.

      The optimist fell 10 stories,
      And at each window bar,'
      He shouted to the crowd below,
      "I'm alright so far!'

  4. Football: I could care less unless the Seahawks are playing!
    For some weird reason, even tho I live in the cold and wet Pacific Northwest, I like January and February. Everything slows down.

  5. I'm with Dianne above! My ex-boyfriend loved basketball which was a chore for me. I understand it and enjoyed watching my brothers play, but professional basketball isn't my thing. My current boyfriend is a football (Seahawks) fan and we have our traditions for each game which is part of the fun. Biden is a good, although not perfect, person and I do NOT understand where people are getting the crazy stories about him and about what he has planned for the country. It's sad that so many are into alternative news, or should I say facts? It makes me despair.

    1. Well, I figure the nay-sayers are the same people who said Obama would take away their guns. They didn't get that right!

  6. I could care less about football since the Rams moved back to Los Angeles.

  7. I'm so looking forward to Spring. I don't like winter much at all. I'm hoping Spring will bring a brighter and kinder world. There is at least some light at the end of the tunnel. Keep well and keep safe.

  8. I have followed Biden's political career all these years and I trust him. I am a registered Republican and always have been but nothing could have ever have convinced me to vote for Trump.

    1. I honestly would have voted for ANYBODY but Trump. He has caused so much trouble to our United States, and he inspired others to be full of hatred too.
