Last year around this time I wrote a story called “Not so ho-ho-ho”. It wasn’t the beginning of the financial troubles for the country, but I felt that it was going to be a growing problem with many more Americans and I wanted to put what I felt at the time into words that everyone could understand in the hopes that somehow just that small thing could make it better somehow. I know that’s naive of me, but some times you just never know what will strike the right cord in the right person. Besides, it was the dawn of a new year, could you really blame me for hoping?

That story resonated with a few people because they were feeling the same way. But it wasn’t enough, it didn’t find the right person who could change the way our world was going.

Almost a year later I wrote on this subject again and called it, “A Poor Story” . This emphasized the worsening of life in the country from the previous Christmas to the present Thanksgiving. I have written many blogs in between. Some about the nomination and subsequent election of our new president. Not all of those were in favor of him either. I was..am a Hillary girl. I love her and think she could be an amazing President. Barack was not my 1st choice, but I have come to believe that right here, right now, he is the right choice.

I have written about bailouts and greed,hacks who steal other bloggers stories and does not give them

credit. Cars, mortgages, and the spiraling destruction of our civil rights in this country. I’ve written a three part saga about things that might have been better off left unsaid, but I wouldn’t be me if I left something ‘unsaid’.

When I dedicated a story to a very special couple who experienced one of the greatest blessings two people in love can experience, my wish was to just give everyone a moment to share in their happiness. We don’t have enough of that kind of ’special’ in our lives.

This year has been a crazy time for everyone who has not lived under a rock the entire time, even my

partner in print had an awakening and found out that things aren’t always what they seem, and his party is in desperate need of change.

It’s been a great trip and I thank everyone who has taken it with me, with us. There will be more fighting, more comedy, more anger and more sadness in the year to come. I hope you will stick with us through it all.

…and like it’s said and proven on the MucheDumbre forum again and again, hang on tight… it’s going to be a bumpy ride.
