About Me

My photo
I am the Mother of two great adult children, Elizabeth 27 years, and Scott 24 years. On September 4, 2010 I gained a new son-in-law in the family - Josh. I look forward to the new adventures this brings our family! I find it difficult to be a human "being" versus a human "doing" and strive to find a peace and serenity.

What's going on in your life right now that's bugging me? #postaday2011

This is a difficult prompt for me. My response really depends on the day, the time of day, if I've eaten, and how much sleep I got the night before. Most days nothing really bugs. Other days just about everything does. Thankfully, the latter doesn't happen as much anymore. Perhaps this gift comes with age, experience, and understanding that it doesn't do me any good to be bothered by something - my response is within my control. 


However, I would like to say a few things about things that do concern me a bit. For example, patriarchy concerns me; or rather what I perceive as a collective denial of patriarchy and its costs and consequences to women, men, and society. I think this might be more than a bit of concern - this really bugs me. 


I'm concerned and bothered by the level of acceptance of violence - all forms of violence. We seem to thrive on violence in movies, news, and in resolving conflicts. I think this might be more than a bit of concern - this really bugs me.  


Now that I've spent some time thing about things that bug me...I'm thinking of several. So, I choose to stop.
