Biggest fear is being vulnerable. Out there with no power. No way to get anything without being plugged in. We so use to our creature comforts we don't even, can't even imagine how they survived without these things in the past. How Mama and Papa had to heat the house with wood in a stove to warm the house and cook the food, to heat the water to wash up or to go outside to the "outhouse" to do our business.

Thought eludes me as to what my writing time was to be devoted to tonight but never the lest for that unrecollection, if there is such a word, I take time instead to be thankful for my life, health and strength. I saw on TV so many things that inspired me: Sports and news broadcaster, Robin Roberts, the father-son team who ran over thirty marathons, father pushing his handicapped son across the finish line. Jim Valvano, former basketball coach, a cancer fighter. I'm inspired by their lives and blessed for mine.

Just thoughts about Mandela. Today he turns 95 years old. Truly a blessing to live that lone. I should live so long but I would hope to be in good health and just pass on outta here without medical issues or back bills to pay.
Mandela in my mind is a true rebel. Living under South African Apartheid was like Black peole living in American democracy. Nobody had no human rights. Mandela spent most of his adult life in prison; from the 50's until they finally released him in the 90's , when at that time he was in the autumn of his years. When you talk about warriors & rebels, you gotta mention Mandela's name.
