I am Glad I am Getting Old
For the past couple of years, I have been glad I am growing old. My heart goes out to all of the young people who are inheriting this world full of problems. I would not want to be in their shoes. I am glad, now, that I do not have children. What would I say to them?
Then on Digg, I found this video. I cried. This young woman has courage and heart. Watch it and you will cry, too. We should all be crying.
Changing my Focus
Just a little.
In addition to being busy with my crafts and suffering from some down days, I have also been kind of stuck in regards to this blog. I think I want to shift to a slightly more personal voice. After all, this blog is for me. I have some other blogs in support of my business, but this one is just for me. Read more »
About Me
My most treasured value is my freedom. It is one I have been willing to die for. Without freedom, my life is not my own. Why should I live a life not my own?
I served 6 years active duty in the U.S. Army. I served between two wars – Vietnam and Desert Storm.
I have spent most of my life seeking truth. I am still looking and suspect I always will be…
I have a vision of this blog being a place where I can explore the “Devil’s Advocate” position on various topics and share my opinions (and where I get them). My hope is to help myself and others to develop skill in critical thinking.
I am not a scholar. If you are looking for scholarly debates and dissertations, please look elsewhere. I am merely a middle-aged woman on a quest. If you are interested in following my thinking, welcome.
Sometimes I make mistakes. I even make dumb ones at times. So, if you catch me in one, please do point it out. That is how I learn. If you find yourself with an opinion different from mine, by all means, tell me about it and explain why you think the way you do. That way, we can all learn.
In the interest of making fewer mistakes, Logic and Fallacies – Constructing a Logical Argument is a great resource.
It may take me awhile to find my voice, but this is a journey, right?
