January 9, 2021 WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT

 It's been a LONG FOUR YEARS.  I can still VIVIDLY recall the morning I woke up to CBS radio announcing TRUMP was  our new president. I was BEYOND SHOCKED. I felt like the character in Ray Bradbury's short story "A Sound of Thunder" who returns from the past after killing a butterfly and.... read it for yourself and you'll immediately get where I'm coming from.  Anyways--we've had to ENDURE  a HELL of a lot  over the last four years. A president who has made us the laughing stock of the world. A president who lies--cheats--HELL he'd sell one of his kids to the DEVIL if it helped him get reelected.  WHY? BECAUSE WE LIVE IN A DEMOCRACY.  The events on 1/6/21 have made it abundantly clear BEYOND a shadow of a doubt--I sincerely hope--HE NEEDS TO GO. He has done enough damage to the United States. He never wanted to be PRESIDENT--he wanted to be a DICTATOR. If Trump took the office seriously---he would NEVER have provoked an insurrection during the certification process at the Capital Building. AND THAT'S JUST WHAT HE DID ON TWITTER. He should have been BANNED a long time ago. TWITTER is a company. They are NOT the government. Constitutional rights don't apply here. TWITTER can ban whomever the company deems UNFIT to have an account. I could have saved us all a lot of trouble. I'VE BEEN SHAKING MY HEAD IN DISGUST FOR FOUR LONG YEARS. TRUMP is only about TRUMP and YES--HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN UNFIT FOR THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENT AND HE'S ALSO UNFIT MENTALLY.  10 more days............If you're anything like me, then you're starting to get those winter blues. What better way to combat those than with a little help from Tina Turner and her new book Happiness Becomes You. Yes, I'm talking about Tina Turner--the singer, dancer, actress and eight time Grammy winner. Turner's new book--this is her third--is a guide to changing your life for the better.  Turner has had to overcome many hardships in life--poverty--abuse--adversity-- to name a few. In this book, Turner uses the lessons and wisdom she's gained  to show the reader that change is possible with spiritual strength.  Turner became interested in Buddhism in 1973 and has used the principles to help meet many challenges and she wants the reader to know that they can too. Turner's ultimate goal is to help the reader find purpose and joy in living by purging  negative obstacles for an inner peace. Her courage, strength and attitude continue to inspire me. This little gem is a quick read--200 pages--with lovely inspirational quotes that will turn your frown upside down. Give it a try.
