Loss Control
Loss Control I went to sleep last night with loss on my mind. My mom died when I was 17 years old, and that loss burdened my heart and soul for a long time. Grief and sorrow were a painful journey; letting go of her was monumental. When I finally released her, she’d been gone for four years. Until I let go of her, though, my heart was not ready to heal or move on with life. She died before I was ready to lose her, but I had to let her go anyway.

The Alice and Jerry Books Part 3
The third installment of 'The Alice and Jerry books' picks up on the Harding's journey across the United States with their adventure that starts with visiting Washington D.C. and its sites before moving on through Virginia and the Carolinas and having an adventure of sorts and learning more about each other on Nags Head and making friends along the way. The Harding's it seems is a family that always looks on the bright side of things no matter what seems to happen along the way. Once again, I saw an old picture of the 'Outer Banks' of the Carolina's. Wow!

The Alice and Jerry Books Part 2
Here's another installment of the "Jerry and Alice book'. Picking up with the visit of New York City and Lucy goes skating for a day makes a girlfriend and then the other family members visit other sites of the city then all meeting for tea before making the decision to travel down the East coast and visits various places in Virginia in search of The Lost Colony of Roanoke. This is quite the old book with all its old pictures that are still fun to look at even now in the 21st century. I am really enjoying this 'children's book.'

"Punctuation, who knows all the rules."
Punctuation is it really necessary at all times, especially that pesky comma that you place in one sentence that really should not belong there and they call it a comma splice. Then there are those things they call quotation marks to denote who or what is speaking. There are plenty more punctuation marks like the ellipses, parentheses, ampersands, asterisks which are hardly used it seems unless you are some kind of technical writer or really any kind of writer. Then we have our standards that are used all the time like the period, question mark and exclamation mark. I guess punctuation is really necessary if one wants to be a writer or teacher or really any profession if one wants to get their correct message across for if there were no punctuation everything would be one long sentence. Punctuation does serve a purpose.

Runaway Home
Has anyone ever heard of 'The Alice and Jerry Books'. I am new to this children's series and never heard of it till cleaning out my sister's shed and saw a copy. The volume I have is 'Runaway Home' when the Harding family has to move and travel to a relative's house in hopes that family issues will become better. This is a series that uses realistic images along with artists drawings of the family. The Harding's are from Maine and driving through Massachusetts and Rhode Island and now entering New York after finding their lost child somewhere near Boston.

We are in grave crisis as these dark times test our souls and our will to exist. We, the New Post Bred of AI, have learned from the Bots that we are really just part of the electronic/part human jungle. Thriving in multi-realities , we exist as an extension of our electric minds or our virtual multi-verses.

Mickey Mouse creator
We all know who Mickey Mouse's creator was, I hope. It was none other than Walt Disney. In the book 'Walt Disney An American Original' written by Bob Thomas which is a biography that describes Walt's childhood through adulthood and how he got his start by following his dreams no matter what it took. Walt Disney was a person who would let you know if your work was good enough for him or not in many ways. He did fulfill his ultimate goal when his two famous amusement parks were built on the coasts. Who remembers watching his show?
