"There are No Setbacks in Life,

 life only goes forward," - sle.  Guess there are setback in life.  I forgot to turn the dishwasher on.  So, bed won't be mine until after midnight most likely.  Hehe.  I don't give make-ups very often, if at all, really.  I don't like my students worrying about going back.  Want them to keep going forward.  That is rough enough.  I mainly emphasize the final exam.  It carries more points.  Decided on Robin Hood again for tonight.  Foundation.  Word from the movie.  Good buildings need good foundations.  That is the same for a home; family.  A good foundation depends upon those building it and the materials used.  Noticed today the foundation of this land.  How beautiful this property is.  How strong its foundation could be.  Just something to consider after the new year.  Can I take the chance of finding someone to help me build a foundation here.  Or, should I consider getting closer to work.  Guess a lot depends upon the future, which only God can see.  Sweet Pea deserves a good foundation in her life.  Don't think it is here.  Quite honest.  Don't think she has much of a chance for a good foundation.  To build a good foundation takes a lot of hard work.  I don't see it here in this world, the people of today.  Empathy is another word that seems to be haunting me some.  How can one lack some empathy?  some understanding?  The word came to me when thinking of Mr. Kenny the other day, then, heard it in a movie.  God is a funny man.  How can one have no feelings? and this from a man that wished many times he didn't.  Just didn't think it was possible.  Duty, is life but a duty to get by from day to day.  To survive.  Is there not more?  Sweet Pea does make me laugh.  She likes using up my tape, so I buy the cheap stuff.  I don't use tape, really.  Once in a blue moon.  There is a writing in me and I can't get it out.  I have so many thoughts and words I want to use, but something just isn't right.  I just can't seem to find what is missing.  In time I guess.  Little over twenty minutes for dishes.  I am a strong believer in spirit, in the American Spirit, in the spirit of people, the spirit of existence, but I see it getting weaker and weaker everyday.  And it is not so much people getting more materialistic, but more the lack of empathy, not caring, being afraid, being piles of crash before it is easier.  Easier to destroy than to build.  More so today than ever before, I think.  Just the facts ma'am.  Not only the lack of faith in God, but faith in themselves.  Why be more when it is easier to be trash?  There are some things that are just human by nature, though there are exceptions.  One being, people are lazy by nature.  Good people know and feel they have to drive themselves to be better, for themselves and family.  You figure out the other side.  Sweet Pea does enjoy having a fairy godmother, me.  I enjoy it, too.  She does pick up some little things from other children, one in particular, like hitting and lying, but luckily, she knows what bad words not to repeat.  Some people don't mind using the f-word and worse around children.  That is trash.  Sadly, many people won't say a word to them.  That is the shame.  The worst shame is that the creep doesn't have enough sense to know better.  Trash.  Well, time for the dishes, I hope.  Tomorrow.  Slept well, though I still can't stop that night eating.  Will start my Ozempic today.  Takes 4 weeks of small shots to get initiated or set up in your system.  Then start bigger shots.  Ozempic is a  protein that helps reduce eating urges and stimulate insulin release from pancreas and reduced the sugar released by the liver and slows food going from the stomach slowing sugar spikes.  Interesting.  Boo is the sweetest.  Mr. Kenny caught me this morning.  Wants some new books and wants to go shopping again.  Maybe tomorrow.  See where there is a nice sandwich place.  He wants something new, haha.  We will see.  Well, little news.  Snack then class.  Most of the time, like a little peanut butter sandwich before class.  Just seems to be the right thing for me.  At home.  Boo on YouTube, haha.  Class went well.  Powerpoint day.  On the way home, "What makes a woman a woman?"  Read an article about the women in Iran and how many are being killed for protesting.  Had a photo of a dead young woman in the streets. My comment wasn't the kindest to women in the U.S. and the rest of the World.  How much is a human life worth?  Yes, human are evolving, getting better.  My question, where?  Great week of peace.  Hope it can last for awhile.  At least, until after the new year.  Still can't get over that thing that is bugging me with  my writing.  Deja Vu, am I looking for something new.  Waiting for Him to tell me?  Don't know.  It will come.  Sweet Pea is so deserving, like all children, to a better life.  Felt more how everyday life is while watching Pale Rider.  Gold miners and their wives.  Everyday going through the hard times of living to find gold.  What and where is the true treasure?  And to find romance in it all, how wonderful that would be?  TIme for a movie and supper or snack.  Oh, Ozempic first, first shot.  The shot went well.  Could make it a tab easier with reading the pen number, but overall, went well.  One shot a week.  Pen lasts 6 weeks this time.  One month next time.  We shall see.  Watching Shane.  Great western.  Some say the best.  Alan Ladd is good in it.  Watching today, it looks pretty clean.  Women had some great makeup, haha.  "What makes a man a man?"  Think pigs, rats, or snakes first then go up the evolution ladder.  Actually, pigs are pretty smart, lol.  There are all kinds, good and bad and in between.  Jack Palace had a higher billing than I thought he would have.  Shane is a very colorful movie.  Noticed Uncle Joe from Petticoat Junction is in it; Jane Hathaway from Bevelery Hillibillies, too.  Ben Johnson, one of John Wayne's fellow actors in a few of John Wayne's movie.  Thinking it shows how much homes can mean to people.  Waiting for the big gunfight.  Shane is going to fight his friend, then the shootout.  Great ending.  Can people change or are they destined to be what they are?  Was told I wouldn't change after 40.  Well, done a lot of changes.  A lot with more to come, I hope.  Man on Fire, think I have seen the end a couple of times.  Do like Denzel Washington.  He was good in The Book of Eli.  Need to start dishes.  Dishes going.  Movie is good.  Denzel and Dakota Fanning have a good relationship in it.  Time for news and emails.  Still have that hump.  "Today you are her father."  From a nun even.  God is a funny man.  Anyway, what am I missing.  Passion is the word that has been coming into my mind here and there.  What does it mean?  Is it the word I am looking for?  In the movie, Denzel holds a gun to his head and pulls the trigger.  The bullet doesn't shoot.  Something with the primer.  Hard to imagine it.  Worse, living it in your mind.  How some people can do it for years.  Some can't.  Rough movie with the kidnapping.  Do have a good night and a great day tomorrow.  God bless.  Sweet Pea.  She is something else.
