Swinging on the swing.
Arms around the other.
There's love between these two.
It's fun to swing together.
Caring and sharing.
Two is always better than one! ;-)

Two Terms In Office
Limit Politicians to 2 Terms:
One in Office.
One in Prison.
Now this doesn't speak very well of our leadership.
What about the one's that have decades in office, and the time is used for their own selfish purposes and not for the people?
Where power and money is the purpose rather than advancing social well-being.
Where personal and party agendas are the playbill rather than doing what is right, plain and simple.
Where scoring points against your adversary or completely taking them down is the strategy rather than reaching out and working hand-in-hand to achieve our nation's greatness.
We have fallen a long way from what I would imagine the founding fathers had in mind for this great democracy.
Perhaps, the biggest problem is that we have stopped even trying. ;-)

Face It!
The brilliance of capturing the essence while leaving out the extraneous.
A person is clearly there even though it's just his face.
What is hidden is also revealed.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Yet, I don't miss him, because he's right there.
It looks like he's about to say something! ;-)

Artsy Bike
Like a newspaper, it's black and white and "read" or actually rode all over.
How much time do you give a bike like this before it gets stolen on the streets downtown?
D.C. seems to be getting even worse than before, now with Coronavirus and the riots.
Doesn't feel safe, and it's in definite need of an urban makeover from all the horrible poverty and homelessness. ;-)

Sweet Little Bunny
Surprised s/he let me get so close without hopping away.
The eyes seemed a little bugged out.
Nothing to be afraid of little bunny.
We're not on the survival TV show Alone, so no one here is going to eat you.
Run free and enjoy the garden little bunny.
Life is good for you. ;-)

Born or Trained In Crazy
You don't have to be crazy to work here, we'll train you.
Some places they hire the crazies and other they train them to be crazy.
Perhaps, it's a bad culture or some bad applies, but either way they can turn good, caring employees into some more crazies to add to the office's bunch of bananas.
Fortunate is s/he who works in a normal, good workplace and can do "a decent day's work for a decent day's pay." ;-)

Sleep Number Got My Number
My good friend got one and recommended it!
Went to the store today and tried them out.
I was really amazed, especially since I have some significant back pain that I am dealing with.
I am hoping, G-d willing, for some pain relief and some extra Zzz sleep! ;-)

And say Amen

Forever Together: Peace and Security
For Israel, we’re turning the corner towards peace and how wonderful it is, yet even as we do, we must never relax on the safety and security of our people.
Yes, in earnest, we hope for peace, we crave it, and we even sacrifice (sometimes painfully) for it, but also we know that we must safeguard that peace and our lives though the best, most advanced and relentless security, in case that often illusive and miraculously achieved peace at any time fails or falters. Strength, along with undying faith in the Almighty, is the constant and enduring safeguard of the peace that we so yearn for with our every fiber. This is why peace and security must always go hand-in-hand together.

Perfect for enhancing the Shabbat and holidays!
The sunflowers provide warmth and happiness for the honor of these special and spiritual days!
May Hashem in His abundant mercy grant us a full healing and peace to welcome the Shabbat and to celebrate this weekend a joyous Shmini Atzeret and Simchat Torah.
Shabbat Shalom and Chag Sameach! ;-)

The Vise of Migraines
Yet it's, perhaps, not as bad as your typical horrible migraine.
Actually, the pressure of a vise-like feeling may actually provide some sort of sick relief.
Migraine headaches can be so incredibly debilitating.
This guy looks like he needs to close the lights and lay down before his head pops!
Consider taking some medication as per your doctor, ice packs also helpful, close your eyes, and say a prayer. ;-)

Awesome Hot Air Balloons
Hot Air Balloons are so awesome!
Dreamy, drifting into the sky.
Flying away with a birds-eye view.
Looking near and far across the landscape.
To the sunrise and the sunset.
Calm, coasting, and carried by the wind.
Fire breathing into the balloon.
Up, up, and away.
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon! ;-)

What Type of Sick Puppy
This was in a woman's clothing/fashion store in the local mall.
There is something really screwed up with people's thinking and our culture.
Even if this lady likes to pet the dog, this is horrible messaging!
We need a serious reset on how to treat women and show them proper respect! ;-)

The Power of Life and Death
It’s so important to develop mastery over the whole life sequence: think nice thoughts, speak kind words, do good deeds, and develop positive habits. This is one of the secrets to life itself.
Life is often in the hands of our tongue–one stupid word and it can mean your head, and one smart thing and it can be, with G-d’s help, your ride to the stars!
Indeed, controlling your words, like controlling your desires, temper, and so on is a constant challenge we all face throughout life. Yes, it’s easy to just let oneself go, but the consequences can be severe for shooting off your mouth, acting stupid, or getting angry. We can get better with patience, time, and practice. We can become better, stronger people. We can learn to guard not only our tongue, but our temperament and deeds, and live a better, and perhaps even a longer life for it. ;-)
