Karen’s Commentary: Giving my space to Dar today.
Darlene’s Commentary: Bob Dylan was right – the times they ARE a-changing! We have a new year ahead with great possibilities for new ideas. A couple of centuries ago the only way to get around was by foot, horseback, wagon or boat. Think about another song – “In 1814 we took a little trip, along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip. We took a little bacon and we took a little beans and wevfought the bloody British in the town of New Orleans.” Just think about what we have discovered, learned, built, engineered, solved, tamed, saved, recovered and researched since then, especially in medicine. What amazing advancement! I try to keep on the sunny side, even if Karen does call me Pollyanna, and I wish for happiness, wellness, kindness,
love and peace for everyone on our planet and beyond.
