Ah~! It is evening in New England...well it is getting there...and it looks like London outside.
It has been a wee bit icey today. Work was fair. I accomplished some, but never all.
Heard from many of my loved ones, and that was the best. Baby sis says mama is doing well. She is 87 this month, and a more gentle , elegant, southern belle has never walked this earth. I want to go home...wherever that is.....usually in my heart and mind....maybe I can get to see her soon...please...please...please...yes I prayed...am working on it...
The move is three fold in that I am relocating, and then re-relocating. Too long to blog, but suffice to say that I am glad to usually have patience.
I was happy to see the Patriots win yesterday. For many years I wore their gear, watched their games, and was a pretty devoted fan...and everywhere that I traveled. I had to explain who they were. I love football, and most sports. it is difficult to love teams the way I used to because the players, staff and even locations change frequently. No matter...not long till Nascar. Now before I get more of the southern jokes, I also like the arts, culture, and wonders of the north...ah the curse of being born the daughter of a yankee and the daughter of a rebel.....smiles....
I am not in the mood to play poker. I think it will be useful in raising funds not only for myself, but for my pet causes...domestic violence...austism...suicide...and literacy...among many....

Abuse is about control...anyway this is a portion of what was stated and even with my demise at mindsay, know that it is my passion to protect those who are being controlled....and here no one shall control my passion to help those who need it.
This boy had blogs...what if I could have helped him sooner???
What if you know a blogger who is abused? There are no concrete answers, but what I do feel is that maybe I can continue to help others be aware, and take action.
Note* When asked why the missing boy had stayed so long, in the miracle of them
being found alive in Missouri, this was in several newspapers and
broadcasts.....and is what I was trying to explain about the many ways one can
be abused...It is not always husband and wife...it is elderly...it is teens...it
is roommates..it is same sex relationships...it is family even...
The case recalls the improbable survival of Elizabeth Smart, the Salt Lake
City teen taken for nine months by a religious zealot. After her return, many
questioned why she didn't flee her captors, despite many apparent chances at
freedom.
Stephen Golding, a forensic psychologist who examined the suspect in
the Smart case, said captors often establish control over their victims through
fear.
"People are led to believe, through someone taking advantage of their
vulnerabilities, that leaving is not an option, that things will get worse for them or will get worse for others," Golding said.Be safe..be happy...
cheerio,
