On Sunday I chose a different venue for our walk. It's just a few miles for our house but we haven't been there for quite a while. I needed a change.The sky was so blue and the air was crisp. The river was full and flowing. The walk was smooth and easy for our out and back 1.20 miles.
Colors are subtle in the wintertime, but they are there in the leafless riverbank bushes. It was a contrast to my Monday morning. Monday is one of my "long program" physical therapy days. Then it's housekeeping and laundry time. I listened to the radio while I exercised. I recorded the inauguration events on NBC TV. Tom had MSNBC on live in the kitchen. Between the various media I got the coverage. I worked and exercised and struggled and seethed. Everything was making me angry. I think Tom was ducking for cover.We sat and watched Donald Trump's speech. I took notes.
Now all media is off. It's quiet. I am calming down.
I have a lot to say. I probably won't say any of it. But how in hell did we do this again?
I didn't watch any of it but read the news online. I am very sad about the direction we are headed. I'm glad there are plenty of us still around, though.
ReplyDeleteWell lets just focus on the good walks. I didn't listen to the speech but listened to the commentary after.
ReplyDeleteI find it all disheartening and it's not even my country.
ReplyDeleteBusy Monday here too. Have a good week.
The bits that I watched were disgusting: constantly lying and spouting incorrect information. I just hope his children don't run for office the next time, presuming his effort to reinstate 3 terms gets stopped by Congress. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteI'm with Granny, it is all very disheartening. Especially because our next (likely) Prime Minister holds similar views to your current President.
ReplyDeleteI don't watch or listen. It is all too much for me.
ReplyDeleteI watched all of it…and wondered what was going to happen after the speech ?
ReplyDeleteI watched and enjoyed the ceremony complete with many prayers for our Country. I am hopeful! We will see what the next four years brings:) I wish people were more united as they have been in the past with a new President. I recall when JFK won even the Lutherans came around with support...eventually:)
ReplyDeleteI don’t like what’s happening, either, especially RFK and the anti-vaccine issue.
ReplyDeleteHow could you even watch? I could not.
ReplyDeleteI won't listen to him. My teacher text chat group keeps telling me what's going on and it's just too depressing.
