Confessions Are Good For The Soul

Andrea · 08-06-2012, 07:44 AM

I confess my heart is heavy for the people of Milwaukee.

I confess my heart was, and is, heavy for the people of Colorado.

I confess my heart is heavy for a friend battling breast cancer.

I confess my heart is heavy for those families that have lost someone due to another person driving under the influence.

I confess so much loss from mental illness, cancer and DUIs, and yet our government spends billions on fighting terrorism at our airports, train stations, and bus stations.

I confess some facts to chew on:
Deaths from terrorism since 9/11 (10 years) - 3033
Deaths from breast cancer in 2011 - 39,520 (est)
Deaths from DUIs in 2010 - 32,885
Deaths from homicide in 2011 - 16,799

I confess that is 89,204 deaths in one year compared to 3,033 over 10 years.

I confess this doesn't include death by other cancers, working in unsafe conditions, starvation, lack of medical treatment for treatable illnesses, etc.

I confess 2012 TSA budget: $7.85 Billion

I confess no death should be taken lightly and it is not my intent to say we shouldn't always remember the tragedy of 9/11.

I confess what we, the goverment, are spending our tax dollars on doesn't work for me.

I confess putting away my soapbox now.

I confess I have really done it this time. My truck keys are really lost. Not just misplaced really really lost. I've even turned my recliner upside down, inside out and taken the back off of it. looked in the fridge and went threw the garbage. Sad thing is I haven't been out of the house today except to take the water jugs to the building and the keys were missing before that.

Could be in your gym bag? I know butches put all kinds of *things* in their gym bags and then forget where said*things* are - hope that was helpful

drinking warm beer last night. Oh yeah, and had a couple of biscuits with said warm beer. No, not American biscuits with gravy. Biscuits biscuits.

And I'm not repenting either.

Hey it's raining! Are your keys on the porch again?

'cause your truck's gonna be one big boat in the morning!

I confess... it was fun finding your keys just to see the look on your face!

I confess I am antsy this evening and there really isn't anything I want to do.

I confess I no longer know how to work my honey's phone.

I confess I tap and tap the screen with my finger and nothing happens.

I confess it has

buttons.

i confess that it is soooo wonderful to be home!

i confess that Clay's coffee is especially good this morning!

i confess that last night's dinner was absolutely delicious and well worth the wait and even the earlier disappointment...

i confess that it was so awesome to sit quietly with my Beloved and watch the dolphins and the "flying" fish and then gathering shells...had it not been for the gnats we might still be there...lol

I confess that EVERY time I close a window, I worry that I'm squishing a bug....

I confess that almost every time a horn beeps while I'm driving Im CONVINCED that I left something on the roof of my car....

I confess that nearly every time I'm doing dishes I SWEAR I hear the phone or the door....this has been happening for YEARS!

I confess that when I hike near brooks it sounds like someone talking from a distance....its the strangest thing....

I confess that today I am disheartened about the progress with the move....I'm a free spirit in most senses...but I crave calm and order.....and its NOT getting there.....
