Remembering

Someone reminded me I have a blog.  I haven’t used it on a regular basis.  Let’s see if I can begin again.  I have been watching the news and realized it is a soap opera for me.  I try to keep track of all the characters and what each is doing.  For the first time I feel like I have been picked up and placed in another country.  We are just learning how to make our country work.  It has been on automatic pilot for all too long and veered off course.  We have forgotten that the president is not the most powerful man on earth.  He is a human being who has been elected to an office.  The office has responsibility for representing the interests of the citizens of the United States. (and contrary to what we have been told we are not the most important people in the world).  He is one leader among many.  In the past there have been skilled people who have assisted the man (sic) in the position to represent us when working with others to arrive at peace and justice for all people.  People including the person in the position have respected for the most part agreements and shared some visions for how to arrive at justice and peace for all.  It is time for us to begin to live the reality of  3 branches of government who are to be checks and balances for the protection of the citizens.

So much for my ramble today.
