It’s been 1983 days since I started posting daily.  I did some forward posting and some backward posting to keep up.  I am soon heading for Switzerland for 12 days, and then 4.5 months in America, so have decided to post as I have time.  Many weeks it may be daily, but we shall see.  If you have any ideas of how I could improve my posts please give me a comment.  It will not be discontinued, but I won’t have the pressure, that I put on myself, of having to post daily!  Have a great day.

So much of the news is filled with disasters, killings, and rapes.  Today we received some great news: A woman was rescued alive after 400 hrs. (17 days) in a collapsed building!!
