Breaking News “Women in Combat”

OMFG! Did you doubt that a muzzle would work this time?

Women have been fighting for our country long before now. And my Government just now decides to put  an “offiicial” stamp of approval on it?

Shame on you, no I want to say “to hell with you” for not recognizing the sacrifices of a soldier until now!!

There are women in arms across the Globe. They are our American Soldiers and you damn well need to recognise!

Specialist Devin Snyder I thank you for your sacrifice, along with the untold number of women who stood beside you!!

 

 

 

Day # 11, and then some

DO NOT pass this one over..it is how we build our house!

Day # 11

I didn’t sleep well last night. Not sure why. I checked my email about 4 am or so and to my delight I had a message from my friend who is hundreds of miles away. First thought..Thank you God he is alive and breathing! And then I read the text.

My friend so vividly described the place that he is at..

“The worst possible conditions for human existence…now lower it by 2 notches..and that’s how this city is. I’m shocked, stunned, and freaked out that people aren’t dropping dead from plague, dysentery, typhoid, hepatitis, and all other infestation-related diseases”…

The rest of this email describes a virtual “living Hell”. He emphasises that we take for granted the very basics of human existence such as clean water and clean air!

(As I write this I am cussing at my computer for having a friggin’ mind of its own)

Holy Shit, I have such a luxury as yelling at my computer while others in a far off land do not have access to a breath of fresh air.

Yes, I have a tendency of “making mountains out of mole hills”, but I have the choice of “making a chocolate cake out of lemons”!

My friend, you caused me to stop and think twice about the things that I take for granted each and every single day..

I bet you did not even realize by sending a simple email that you at the very least made a “spoiled, white girl think twice about what she should be thankful for”!

Congrats..with a few simple words you managed to make a difference!

Regarding my reply to your email, “I have nothing”… in response to your words..it just took me a little while to take in what you had said.

Come home,

Day # 10 3/4..

I admit it, I am tired. I am ready to lay my head down and just rest. But you know before I do I have one last thought..

Never force yourself to have a space in anyone’s life because if they really know your worth, they’ll  surely create one for you.
