My Favorite Month

Lilac

I would have to say the month of May. There's mother's day to celebrate, bulbs are starting to bloom, lilacs are starting to bloom, my spring garden is coming to life in the mountains of the Berkshires. May is a beautiful month.

Nancy Pelosi: Dems Will Be Forceful On Super Committee But Won’t Draw ‘Lines In The Sand’

I think that every commentato­r on this site could have told the congress that this idea of a “Super” committee was a joke. The magical word “super” was not going to miraculous­ly give its members negotiatin­g powers before now virtually unseen. This country absolutely cannot afford to go through any more of these cut throat tactics of the tea party. We have seen the damage that supply side economics has done, we have seen the damage that a too large financial sector can do, we have seen what damage poorly regulated energy industries can do to entire communitie­s. It is time to get back to Keynesian economics, regulation­s to inspect and keep the corporatio­ns on the straight and narrow, and its time to get manufactur­ing back to the States and building again using materials and supplies built in America.

Stock Market Plunge: Storm Cloud In The Shape Of Timothy Geithner

It is almost funny that the stock market was holding its own up until the day that debt ceiling deal was signed. It’s sounds a lot like perhaps Wall Street isn’t happy that the government isn’t going to be opening the pocket book anytime soon to help consumers get back to work. Wall Street is showing its big unhappines­s with the tea party is another way to look at it. Wall Street perhaps got a wake up call and realized that the tea party is really not into them. This is getting so depressing­, it feels like we are stuck in a fog and we can’t see our way clearly out of it.

What’s the best idea you’ve ever hard?

postaday2011

I don’t know if I can honestly say that I’ve ever had a best idea. I am mostly a reactionary person. Most everything good in my life has come from a reaction to something, not something original from me. My home is a case in point, I didn’t think of this on my own, my desire for my home was to escape from living in my mother-in-law’s house. I wasn’t like my mother who always wanted a house, herself, and she did everything to achieve that goal.

I can say the same for writing, it was more of a reaction to seeing something that I was intrigued by, a blog featured on WordPress.com. I happened across the blog, The only adult in the room, in another site as a link, and I was fascinated by the blog and its home at WordPress.com. I explored WordPress, set up my own blog site and subscribed to postaday2011. I didn’t initiate this on my own, it was a response to something I saw. I am so happy that I took the time to look into it, everyday I look forward to writing about something new and it has done wonders for my psyche. I have worked out a lot of stress with my blog and I have met a lot of really nice and interesting fellow writers. It might not have been an original idea on my part, but I’m glad I found the idea and ran with it.

I don’t think that not having a great idea on my own is necessarily a bad thing, it’s not as if I close myself off from exploring things if I see a great idea from someone else. I adapt and make it my own, fashion it to suit my own personal style. I have absolutely no problem giving credit to where credit is due, I’m always happy to reap the benefits from applying the great idea in my own life.
