I would like to say thank you all for the very warm welcome. I appreciate the kind words. This site, and not just the predications but all the comments even when I wasn't responded, has been very much a point of light. It has given me the patience to get past the horrors that were the last few years - especially last year.
To know that there are others, many others, that share my thoughts about the world and where we were, are, and going is brilliant. We are definitely in, as the Chinese would say, in interesting times.
Oh, so before I post this, I have to tell you an amusing thing. So right after I posted that original message something in the forum software decided to ban me, so I couldn't comment or even see things when I was logged in. I wasn't mad, as I knew it was a mistake, so I just emailed and laughed at the randomness of the internet.
@lovendures Thank you for such an inspiring post. You are kindness itself. You lift me up with every post.
This one is older but it’s a great early morning happy cry: https://youtu.be/8w-fduifHII
@dannyboy oh boy, that video is the best way to start my day. Thank you for that. ?
@herukane, welcome to our community! This forum has kept me sane for the 3 years I've been a member. I can't possibly give back all that I have received from this loving, insightful, supportive group of people.
Thanks for your post. Although I've been limiting my news watching, I did see the Ari Melber/Michael Moore segment you referenced. Really glad that I did. Like you, I felt so good hearing it. It reminded me that we now have a true empathic soul leading our country. We've been blessed, and I never want to forget that.
@herukane Welcome! This community is like a beautiful cloud of light and love and goodness. So glad you are here.
@dannyboy, thank you for sharing that uplifting video. When I pulled it up I noticed there were a few other videos on the right sidebar that also celebrated unsung heroes, a few of them teachers.
Maybe we need to see a similar video each day, as a reminder of the many good people who live among us and are doing incredible work within their communities. They can also serve as an inspiration to us, whenever we feel hopeless and ask ourselves "how can I make a difference?"

Thank you! Older is also nicer. Refreshing to see a moment of time pre-pandemic inside schools and hospitals, when life was more simple...
Oh, so talk about good news and good people, I was out at a diner yesterday and as I was eating a group of four older gentleman walked in. They soon started talking politics and I could hear elements of conservative biases in their statements. But then they began talking about President Biden's withdrawal from Afghanistan and they almost all supported it wholeheartedly - one guy even pushed back when another guy did Fox 'News' talking points about us leaving usable equipment and such.
I mention this because it was really cool to see something so uniting the majority of American - and that is the end of forever war. Its impressive and made me feel good, like there is actually some commonsense among the regular people.
