THE Hill, those folks in The Capital?congress/senate THEY STRUCK A DEAL?

Heaven help US

and

God bless the USA

A compromise has been reached

they are getting ready to vote,

but

They are NOT really "happy" did I hear?

What has "happy for them" got to do with US?

I hear and read

"they struck a deal"

and my mind can't help but

think when I hear "they struck..."

of those who struck gold and got rich!

BUt it is a "compromise and yet they are not happy"

Guess those two groups cannot be happy when called upon to work for the people.

Perhaps it is time for new people there

that will find

"happiness in working for the real people, knowing that life is compromise?"

Does that mean

once again that those "who have get"

or

by some stroke of the Creator's hand

that

those of the USA

will now "get"

a piece of those who have's salaries and benefits?

Or

are those who "have" the most

will now feel a bit of what most know as real life

and that the debt will be reduced as they will give up some that is paid by the government?

You know those things like full time salaries

FOR LIFE with full time benefits for major medical care that sit on the hill

and put their feet in deeply against the necessary changes to take care to protect all

just because they do not want to change?

OR

the continued trillions that are being spent

on the need to

take over

Afganistan

a place that

is property the USA is now "defending" with our men and women (why I can't help but continually ask)

and

then there are those with disabilities and fragilities

and hardships,

asking only for understanding and help; for

repaired durable medical equipment

so that they may live fully

and

enjoy their lives,

who find that they have to fight

uneducated and ignorant employees who are being paid by the state and government

and who decide that they enjoy saying no to some that are in need

and

at the same time saying yes to those who have no business being on the roles.

There are those who just want to resume their lives and not worry of their fellow men and women, and get on with their lives,

while others want to stand as Americans

and

do not like the idea that other countries may look at Us as less or in conflict with each other.

Then

there are those who just want this

economic conflict to end

and to

live stress free in a world of the free

where the flag flies high

and

to work hard, play hard

and do their thing

whatever that is!

BUT

for others

and there are many

who are in this

place of

meantime we sit and take in the stress of the news and the lawmakers and those in power that we elected into office.

And we hear the stories of those who gripe about our

AMERICA

and

yet we also ask

"did you write your congressman and senator",

only to hear

"why bother".

And we then know why stress and depression

and

mixed messages and actions

are sent to the brain,

yet folks are truly amazed when they get mixed results~

It is time to empower yourself,

along with sending a strong message to those in power.

Respect begins with knowing that we must respect who sits in that white house in Washington DC

and

remembering

we are free because of the brave.

The President inherited this condition of our country

he did not create it.

He is not that powerful nor is he that strong to pull such a feat, in spite of what some are thinking.

It does not matter whether anyone "likes him"

but

it sure does matter that he is respected for the leader of our nation,

and

yes

it is not a popular job,

I cannot fathom why anyone would want it.

BUT

what I really cannot understand is how

those in each party, those in power on that hill there can pull the

"I won't do this or that, just because I do not like you".

I do not get why

the cuts do not begin with the ones who are sitting fat and high, and receiving full big time salaries and full benefits for life, paid for by the government,

and those with the most,

and I do mean the most and then work down.

I do not understand why we are still in Afganistan

a land of sand

and those who want to kill our soldiers

and discredit our names and soils

and why in the world would anyone want it.

Have you really seen the photos of our Marines there?

Many people like to bully, to bluster, to just let others know of their grandness and why things work better if you listen to them, or do it their way...

We've seen that in large ways, on the big screen, in our communities, and often in our families.

I've seen it more and more on the road in the recent months, all we have to do is watch and listen

to know

that everyone has an idea, an agenda

and

a better idea.

Some are forceful in their expression and could care less how it effects or affects others when they tell you,

we are seeing that on National TV by the speaker of the house.

We are also seeing the faces of America in those we encounter in the grocery stores who worry if their check will arrive on the 3rd while this plays out.

OUR AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL

will your elected officials stand for her people?

Mr. President, you are the man we put in the house,

it is time to clean and wash the fears away

 Take a stand and assure the people.

we already know it will whatever you say

will not be favorable to many,

but

then again, if we look back over history,

many who have taken a stand have not

but

they have been effective.

Some more than others,

but

we are still here,

we are still the Nation that the world looks to

that many ask much from

and

many stand in awe of.

We are the Nation that comes together

arm in arm under real and perceived threat

as

one Nation under the Creators arms

and eyes,

we survive

under times of great sadness and stress

and threat.

We are SURVIVORS

and

our colors do NOT run.

Our Ancestors

the

FIRST Americans

and now

we come from strong stock.

We are America

the many faces of great people

from those of the soil

of our rich nation

of spirit.

This is our country

our land

Those who stand with pride

do not fall.

The fire is burning brightly, the sage is lit and its smells and prayers are being sent on the wind to our President and his family, to all who gather here. Blessings to you friends.

Walk in Beauty,
