Pondering

Today was a frustrating day. My children are my greatest joy but they also can be my biggest frustration.
Today I feel old. I went through 40 years of newspaper clippings and it's interesting to me how some issues never change. Why does it seem like the more things change, the more some things stay the same.
I feel sorry for Joe Lieberman tonight. Why must we be so partisan that when a man breaks ranks for a cause he truly believes in he and his constituents get punished? I'm really tired of this strong two party system of government.
The weather was bizarre last night. A 25-degree change in temperature? Totally weird. And how funny is it that they're having blizzards in the north and there's a hurricane in the Caribbean.
I'm working in the corner office this week and I looked out the window today and noticed one bright red hibiscus bloom standing out against the gloom of the backside of the bush. Gorgeous.
