"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar." –Julius Caesar

About Me saddened by current administration's total ignorance and corruption and attempts to stifle just about everyone interested in civil rights for all. I'm a MADD, and support various causes to educate people to become literate and informed, in order to empower themselves and make a difference, whether in their own life or the lives of many. My personal attribute preferances have nothing to do with looks.I like all people, no matter their "outer" appearance--it's what's within that counts! As for myself, I'm attractive, but not a magazine model,( heck, I'm nearing 60!) and I'm aging, so if you're into "ms. Beautiul" or "playboy models", or any models for that matter, don't bother. I feel that there are attributes and personality traits that people possess that are enduring,beautiful, and never wrinkle...Personality, integrity, honesty,ethics, humor, and sincerity are tops in my book, and most important. I pride myself on my principles and how I live my life.I welcome anyone who might feel the same.

Eating Habits I try to eat healthy from food pyramid, Trying to eat healthy!  
Wild Fact About Me I'm not "wild" at all...today, that is. Write and ask!
My Philosophy love one another , do no harm, watch your words carefully, choose to think positive even though negativity abounds, educate yourself as much as possible, listen to experience, learn from history, believe in a higher power of some sort, don't belittle or badger others if your opinions differ, live a peace-filled life, obey societal laws unless they become big-brotherish, read all that you can in life, learn all you can, and help those who cannot help themselves. Have common courtesy in all matters.
What Gives Me Hope that our children ensure that the world becomes populated with fair, aware, and un-corrupt leaders who care about all peoples.
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by I'd do an ethics check on past and current policies to make sure everyone adheres to the Constitution and actually believes in human rights; and try not to allow history to repeat itself."government" agencies need overseers!; I'd see that religion was truly separate from all government policies.Nothing would be done in secret, and there would be actual penalties for anyone violating the integrity of any public office. Give government back to the people!I'd attempt to ensure bribery and nepotism were somehow stopped.But in reality, politicians , in general, need to let the majority of their constituents vote in a truly FAIR election, and I think the first rule I'd try to make would be to outlaw "smear tactics", and somehow get fairness incorporated into all policies so that not one group benefitted over another merely due to being influenced by money,emotions, etc. rather than a logical,empathic, keen understanding of all aspects of an issue and how some rule or law will affect everyone.Certainly, I'd try to see that educators actually delivered so that our children would grow up wise, healthy,desiring to learn more, and not lacking the very best education possible.
What/who changed my life and why no sole event,person, movie, or book changed my entire life. It's a collective , eclectic mixture of experiences, genetics, and societal influences that shape my personal ideology, ethics, integrity, etc.
What Bugs Me Anyone who causes harm with intent, erosion of human rights, any sort of unfair discrimination, poor "customer service", people who don't "listen", gossips, drivers under the influence, age-ism, sexism, ignorance, Any one that would hurt a child, noise poll

Inspirations visionaries, people who wish to make a difference, truly empathic people, people who live through adversity, great music, love, life itself, nature, peace, friends, understanding, the sun coming up, the sound of the ocean, peacemakers, healers

can cross the path of our destiny
 without leaving some mark on it forever."

"We must protect the forests
for our children, grandchildren and
 children yet to be born.
We must protect the forests for those
 who can't speak for themselves
such as the birds, animals, fish and trees."

... I wish a peaceful weekend.

Just another week

Monday must be
The most horrible of days
But wait, please listen
Do not worry my friend
All Mondays must end
Tuesday morning will be
Faster will pass you will see
Wednesday is the midle
Some words I'ii write in a ridl
Let us make this winter day
A joyful and bright Thursday
Friday is certainly the best
You work with a smile
And just for a little while
Because tomorrow, Saturdat will be
And after Sunday will come
For you and me
And we will go on living
Another week has passed
Another will begin



Have a wonderful week dear friend
With Love
Ana

Our friendship is an ocean
Stretching
Far and wide
Never ending
Filled with memories
That last a lifetime
Our friendship is
Just like the stars
Both go beyond
Man's reach
So best friends it is
Now and forever.
That's the best feeling there is
Nothing could be better
Now and forever.

 

 With Love
 Ana

This Time Of The Year
 
The ingredients are all right here
With warmest thoughts and best wishes
Good health and happiness and cheer
To keep you smiling through the year
And if your heart has lost it's song
The gift of hope to cheer you on.
Share your love and remind
That someone, for you my Friend,
Always truly cares, and,
At this time of the end of the year.

We're never completely in one place.
 Some part of us hangs out
On streets we barely remember,
Or converses with faces no longer familiar.
Every encounter has a beginning,
But never an ending.
Like an exquisite ecosphere,
The mind turns each raindrop into forever,
Nor does it allow one word to disappear.
Some evening, years from now,
Our lives will be bitter or sweet.
But we'll be together my Friend.



... I wish you my sweet Friend
a peaceful weekend.
With Love
Ana
