My cat is my best friend from today until the end. He listens to my sorrows without a complaint, oh my goodness he is a saint. 

 

He wakes me up every morning with a nudge and a kiss. I want to sleep in is all I wish. 

 

He wants to go out now and play, I said later today. He looks at me with those sad little eyes that almost makes me cry. 

 

He will demand his way until I say, later today. I need to finish my coffee and try to wake up, until then you are out of luck. 

 

He argues with me to get his way, I want to go out to play with the birds and see who came by today. 

 

As soon as he comes out, he wants to go back in. I look at him with a smirk and a grin. 

 

I say to him, “why do you want back in, he looks at me and says I win. 

 

You are a cat I must say, and you have already gone out today, he 

 looks at me with stare of confusion, this cat is half human. 

 

He says words that a mama can hear, people I tell say man you are weird.  

But spend some time with my little cat, he will teach you this and that. 

He says words like “ouch and mama'', and I really believe, then gives you his toy for you to throw which he will retrieve.  

He will drop at your feet to throw again, with a purr and a smile like “I'm going to win.” 

 

With a yawn and a stretch is nap time and rest. He has had a busy day running and playing, I can hear the birds singing. 

 

Sleep well little one; when you wake you can have some fun, we can run and play until the end of the day. Right now, you need some rest, so you can do your best. 

 

I love this little guy from the ends of the earth and up to the sky. He makes my day when he wants to play, and that is every second of every day. 

If you do not believe what I am trying to say, then get a cat and you two will play.  

They will bring joy to your life, and then you two will start to revive. you will run through the house looking for that lost stuffed mouse. By the time it is found, you throw it on the ground.  

He will turn around and walk away, you will ask “you don’t want to play”? 

He will turn around and walk away, he has had a busy day. Therefore, you need a cat someday. 

 

To play and run and have some fun, they will bring joy today, even when they walk away. 

 

Going to close for now with a yawn and a growl. If you have a cat today, go outside and play. They will totally make your day. 

I love you, Tiger!!! 

 

Take care, be safe and as always be positive.

A poem to the late Robbin Willams

A poem to Robin Williams

You made us laugh, you made us cry, and now we wonder why you died. 

Your movies and shows put a smile on our faces, and made our hearts go better places. You helped us forget all of our sorrows, and look forwards to a better tomorrow.

While you are helping us we did not know, that deep in side you there was no glow.

That the funny faces was just a name, when actually you where hiding pain.

We laughed a smiled at every joke, when deep inside you where really broke.

No one knew the pain you felt, and the troubles you where dealt.

We’re sorry that you felt this way, and felt thought you could not stay.

We all know you’re in a better place, making sure everyone has a smiley face.

Your imitating every one from down here, and this is what we really fear.

As time goes by this will fade, but when a movie is on we will remember your name.

We will think back to your first show, and the feelings that left our hearts a glow.

Mork and Mindy will steal our heart, and make us look back to when it first start.

A Na Nu or shush but, will make our day, and all of worries go away.

Miss Doughtfire will make us say, we wish we had you to help us today.

We wanted you as our nanny, you gave us all some sanity.

We will really miss you MR. Robin Williams, your face and smile is worth billions.

We all know you’re in a better place, making sure everyone has a smiley face.

What is love?

What is love?

This is a deep thought that goes back several generations, that no one really understands exactly what it means. 

 The Definition of love is,

an intense feeling of deep affection.  Hmm let me try to break it down to understand better, people say “ I love you” everyday,Mother’s say it to their Daughters, Fathers to their sons, Wives to their Husbands, and so on.

But do they really know what Love is??

Is it a word, saying or a phrase? Do they really mean what they say ?  or are they pretending to get some attention?

Let me close with this last point, you can’t buy love, it’s not for sale no matter where one might look.

Love is love no matter who is saying it, or feeling it, it comes from one heart to another, one person to another and one sole to another. That’s called true love. It’s great when you find it, and heartbreaking when you lose it.

Some people buy love, but that is not love, it’s only what I call fake love, and that is the worst love at all, and some people fall in love with  themselves as they can’t find true love or don’t want to make a commitment to find happiness, so they take it upon themselves, and that is ok to do.

Christians say that God is there choice of love, question; how can you believe in something that is not real? You can touch or feel?

I’ve also been told that you can talk to him, and he answers back, how can you talk to someone or something that is invisible or does not exist? It’s like talking to your  invisible friend as a child, they don’t exist as well.

I’ve also been told that if you don’t believe in God, then Satin will take over,again, this is an invisible person or object as well.

I believe that things happen for a reason, and that there is no higher power that has a helping hand in your day to day decisions. I also believe that you have a choice in life, your choice is to be happy or not, to believe or not, and no one can change your mind expect for you. 

Now back to the topic at hand, my personal thinking is, things happen for a reason either good or bad, land you can find Love  weather your spouse, partner or religion , it’s your choice, your decision your life.

Make it 

PSPS

PSPS....
Every time I hear that word I feel like screaming, especially when there is no wind or fire danger but they still cut off power to save their butts. They don’t care if we have to live on the dark for days or weeks on end. What about us? Our neighbors, our friends? What about seriously ill people who need power to live?
You say that this is to help us, but in reality you do this to cover your butts, not ours.
PG&E used to be a household name, where you never heard of anything like old lines, or old Transformers that don’t function as well now as they did when they were first installed.  You did not hear of major fires starting due to their old, outdated equipment. Yes, transformers blew and maybe a block would be in the dark, but not an entire town or county.  
It’s the digital era, so shouldn’t PG&E have some way of checking on these without have a crew physically going out to check on them? One would think so.
You have caused so much damage in the past years with fires, lost property, lost town and lost lives, when do we say “Enough” and stand our ground?  This has to stop and stop now, before another catastrophe is caused by this company.  How many more lives have to be lost, property lost, and families torn apart before something is done about this?
Yes this recent PSPS was a bit better than the last one, but that is a drop in the bucket. There is so much more that needs to be done before people can trust this company again (IF they ever will).

My prediction is, people will go elsewhere to find power sources--solar, another company, who knows? 

All I can say is “This has to stop, and stop now, not for PGE’s sake, but for their customers as well. 

Is this a dream?

Am lying in a hammock under a warm spring breeze, or by a fireplace sleeping with the heat upon me?

Am I swinging from side to side, or skiing down a mountainside?

I feel the warmth filling the air, with a soft breeze everywhere, birds are singing a sweet song, while people are talking and carrying on.

My mind drifts off to some familiar places where children are playing, with smiles on their faces.

They are running around with no care in their minds, except for playing and having a good time.

The birds are chirping and flying around, while others are sitting on the ground.

They are happy to see everyone having fun, and feel the warmth of the sun.

I look towards the sky and see clouds pass by, and I start to wonder why?

Why do these clouds have to come by, now everyone is saying goodbye.

Goodbye to the fun, and the warmth of the sun. Goodbye to the birds in the air, and the children everywhere.

I now feel a different breeze. The worm spring breeze has turned to cold, and a chill has come upon my soul.

Drops of rain have begun to fall, as people run to hide from it all. They run to their homes, and cars, leaving behind memories and scars.

 My body awakes from this place, but strange looks come on my face. Was this a dream or was I transported to a make believe place?

Health Care

I read an article this morning that made me shake my head that,  “Contra Costa County” is allowing funds to be used for undocumented adults to have free health care. But they can’t find the money to have decent fire protection for East Contra Costa County.

This makes me wonder about our Supervisors and elected officialsThere are people in Contra Costa County who cannot afford the high health care prices for their family, who work for minimum wage that the county offers to support a wife and kids but be an illegal undocumented adult, and we will give you free health care. What’s next, free housing? Free cars? 

Where do we draw the line and say enough is enough?

 Has this gone too far where they are more important than the citizens that have a right to live here, who pay taxes, and are part of their community.

 It needs to stop. Let’s take care of our own citizens first and make sure the counties have adequate fire, and first responders protection; take care of our homeless, our poor, our sick and mentally ill citizens. Then IF there is any money left over, we can help the rest.

East Contra Costa County is suffering with “LACK” of fire protection as they have closed two major fire stations and that leaves East Contra Costa in a potential crisis

IF we should have a major emergency that requires all fire stations attention, or have all stations tied up on different calls, we have to depend on other resources to help cover calls.

We are told they closed the stations due to lack of funding. How can there be no funding to keep our fire stations open, but funding to allow health care to undocumented adults? Is this fair? I think not. What do you think?

I think we need to do something to let our elected officials know how we feel.  Let's start a petition and let our voices be heard in a peaceful protest. This has to stop now before it gets out of hand. We can’t sit and do nothing, and hope it goes away, because it won't. We need to elect officials who care about their citizens in this amazing county, and who are willing to do something to improve what is now a disaster in progress.

For those who wear a badge

What is a police officer?

A police officer is someone who is sworn to protect and serve the citizens of their city, to answer the calls of help, and remove citizens who don’t follow the law. But here lately this statement has had a different meaning, as the officers who protect us, can no longer protect themselves. And we are losing too many offers here lately.

Too many officers are being shot or killed for doing their job, for protecting their community from harm's way. It seems like I’m hearing about officers who are getting shot for just being on the job. Is this what society has come to? Where the protect and serve can no longer protect and serve?   Where the gangs run the city, and ruin lives?

Why fear the gangs. Aren’t we stronger than that; isn’t our motto “United We Stand, Divided We Fall”? 

Let’s hide in our homes, lock the doors, and pretend that everything will be Ok. It’s like the saying; “sweep the dirt under the rug, and the dirt is gone”

We can’t stop the shootings or violence in the streets, if we all hide in our homes and do nothing about it

“ We are only strong as we are united, and week as week are divided.

So let’s stand strong together and fight back, We all need to help out our sworn law officials, as they are stretched to thin too be everywhere, we need to be their eyes and ears, stand next to them, and be their bodyguard, as they fight every day, and put their lives on the line to keep us safe.

We can no longer hide and hope everything goes away. With today’s culture, and economy people are angry and are taking their frustrations out on innocent people. Unfortunately these people are the people who are trying their best to keep us safe.

There is no easy solution to this problem. As time goes on, violence will increase if the economy continues, and more and more people are laid off, or unemployed, and companies are closing their doors.

Here’s a thought, why not let the gangs patrol the streets. That way they will shoot each other? Problem solved.

OR IS IT??
