Forget the Rabbit


.






.Original illustration for 'The Tale of Peter Rabbit’, Beatrix Potter ...

"Just do what must be done. This may not be happiness, but it is greatness."George Bernard Shaw

 It has been 3 years already, and I have left my writing.  Where was I? What wonderful and exciting thing did I do?  What happened?

Going on life like millions of others, I want to make a living, raise my children, help my husband, and pay my bills. I look back, and all I see is nothing? Running after the rabbit.

Then I look up, and 3 years have gone by...

I would love to say that I have been involved with some great causes, wrote my biography, took on ceramic, and am having my own shows... but no... nothing that grand.
I have been helping my daughter, who suffers from severe anxiety and compulsive disorder. Working 12 to 15 hours a day trying to compensate for the income my husband lost, like many others.
Caring for my mother-in-law, who has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's.

So no, I did not create anything, write the next great novel or win anything... like the millions of us, I have with my family survived.  I say endure because I forgot to live...

I know you will understand and forgive me for my long absence.

20st Century ~ Century of Violence.~

In ancient times during war, soldiers fought on the battlefield corp, face-to-face with the enemy. It was brutal, horrific, and bloody.  War was fought over reasons as ancient as man and still true today; Wealth and Power. A politician once said,  "The United States has no friend, only interest."   It is valid for all countries and men. The mass killing also increased with great leaps forward in technology and science.
