Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

It's turned chilly here and today we bundled up to stroll with our grandson and then hang out in the backyard this afternoon. Our grandson was begging up to fill the watering can, but no way, Jose. I'm thinking more about the grandkids presents for Christmas, and scouring catalogues to find fun gifts. We may be having Christmas by ourselves, but I've adjusted. Also, I've been super fortunate with my kids and grandkids, so this would be the first Christmas with no one. I can handle it. I turn on the radio station that plays Christmas music right at Thanksgiving and drive my husband insane until New Years. I feel like Biden's win has tempered my sorrow and downright cheered me up. I wanted a woman president, but one step at a time, I guess. I'm busy being happy we have a woman vice president, and she is a woman I admire, so who knows? She may make it all the way. I'm so happy for the female part of the human race. We need to be seen as competent, powerful, and inspiring. She all of that and more.
