Peaceful Easy Feeling

My wife died three years ago today from cancer.

Marijke. I love you and miss you. I think of you every day.

2018 was a bittersweet year for me. My dear wife passed away from cancer 08 December 2017. Our first grandchild was born 01 April 2018. April Fools Day but more importantly, Easter Sunday. A real blessing for me but sad that my wife never got to hold her.

I spent most of my time in the first 6 months of 2018 planning my pilgrimage. This proved to be a very welcomed distraction from my grief. I will not go into it as you can read about it in my archived posts starting around the 27 July – 13/14 September 2018. I felt my wife’s presence throughout the long walk. Silent times for personal reflection among some of the most beautiful scenery on the planet – France. Mon Dieu, beaucoup de belle pay. Je l’aime. It renewed my faith in life and in God. My anger about my wife’s death dissipated like a light translucent fog in a light summer’s breeze. How could I remain sad in this environment?

From there I went to Lourdes, which was a very personal journey for me. Then finishing off this glorious summer trek with a visit to a very old, but dear friend, who now lives in Switzerland. Spending a week with her, her husband and family was a highlight for me. Thanks Ruth and Pascal.

Sadly Ruth passed away from cancer 19 August 2019.

I was able to say goodbye to Marijke and I could sense her letting me go. To move on. It is okay, she whispered in my ear, GO, and  live, just as a soft, light enveloping wind swept over me like a cool refreshing blanket in this summer’s heat. I will never forget her but I must move on for the sake of my two sons, and now my grandchild.

Goodbye Marijke. Until me meet again. Hallelujah!

I have met someone new. Debra Dorothy, aka Dot, who herself lost her husband 27 December 2007.

We are now together to share both our loss, our grief but most importantly, our new lives together.

One can move on from a tragic loss. I love you Dot.

Give Me Some Lovin

The Los Angeles Clippers and the Los Angeles Lakers, led by superstar LeBron James, reportedly voted to boycott the rest of the NBA playoffs.

What a sham….according to Shams Charania, lead NBA writer for The Athletic, James walked out of a hastily-called players meeting when other team representatives said they would not join…who names their kid sham anyway…

Miami’s Udonis Haslem spoke and essentially told everyone in room that — without Lakers and Clippers, how will season continue? LeBron James walked out. Rest of Lakers and Clippers exited behind him,” Mr. Charania wrote.

Who on earth would name their kid...Udonis?

Of course:

But they can be broke enough. Let them eat cake…or MacDonalds…!

If this carries on then the only job these selfish, self centred dudes in weird shorts will be able to do will be at MacDonald’s.

And this is why I will not be coming back to watching or supporting sports for a very long time.

From the… Are you kidding me…? file comes this headline:

The Crap News Network. This is…….C.N.N

Another from the…You must be kidding file?…comes this:

A collaboration between a Chinese company and a Halifax research team aiming to carry out Canada’s first clinical trials of a potential COVID-19 vaccine has been abandoned amid rising tensions between the two countries.

The partnership between the National Research Council of Canada and CanSino Biologics was announced by the federal government in May.

A team at the Canadian Centre for Vaccinology at Dalhousie University was supposed to work with CanSino to run the first Canadian clinical trials for a possible COVID-19 vaccine. CanSino’s vaccine, called Ad5-nCoV, was already being run through human trials in China and has shown promising results.

Say that word…CanSino… really fast and you come up with:

They are certain to make big bucks from this venture. It is a secret though.

Would you trust a vaccine that has been partially developed by a country that produces this:

Those sweet and sour chicken balls look yummy.

Is the irony lost on anyone here:

Rioters attacking the police, assaulting residents and burning down stores are now crying for the police to stop the shooters in Kenosha.

No?…Oh!

One of the biggest diplomatic coups achieved by Trump and the US in recent years has been all but ignored by the liberal press. What you may ask? The Israeli – UAE accord, known now as the Abraham Accord. Yet hardly anyone knows of this because of the bring down Trump at all cost liberal media bias.

Have a great weekend. Read ya Monday.

A Collection of Pics and Vids.

In keeping with the 4th of July tradition, here is a video to explain America’s exceptionalism from a nice wholesome pretty American girl…oops. White Privilege!!

They certainly have done a great deal to contribute to the west’s prosperity. Of course there are many out there that do not feel this way and are ready to crucify Trump for just about everything, including climate change.

Thanks to the Rebel for this one:

There was a big 4th of July parade earlier today in Washington, D.C.

But if you were getting your news from the Big 3 TV networks, you wouldn’t have known about it. On the afternoon of July 3rd, news broke that ABC, CBS and NBC would be following the lead of MSNBC and not airing the 4th of July parade. Why? Because they, the media, hate Trump and still cannot get over the fact that Hillary Clinton lost the election. It is as simple as that.

Trump Derangement Syndrome is still at a fever pitch, isn’t it?

So much for the media.

People take note.

Get this: Sebastian Gorka reveals the most important political book of the last decade: “Deep Throat 10.” Hey it brought down Nixon, why not Trump?

Trudeau and Canada’s climate change guru, Climate Barbie’s, worst nightmare. The Bolton Truck and Tractor Pull:

“Oh how I love the smell of carbon in the morning.” And these girls.  Perhaps the Canadian government should ban this for the more exciting “Prius and the EV Bus Pull contest. Or perhaps this:

See the source image Hey Barnie, Wilma, Betty, watch this.

Speaking of the climate, here is a snippet from one of America’s great, but late humourist:

“Lava in the living room.” Gotta love that.

Or “how I found love on the flood plain.”

And speaking of Science, Alexandra Occasionally Cortez But Generally Whacko would not get this:

A statement of “HYPOCRISY.”

This is the Liberal, Progressive, Green solution to feeding the planet.

Let them eat maggots.

Of course they would eat steak.

Please, please, say it ain’t so.

See the source imageMad Magazine is no more. Boo Hoo, Boo Hoo. I grew up with this guy Neuman and its satirical bent.

If only today’s mainstream media would implode.

C’mon people, shun the elitist UN shit, think for yourself and hop onboard. Play it loud and sing along. You will be happy. I guarantee it.

And here is another one along the same lines.

God the music of the 60s and 70s was just awesome, wasn’t it?

It is a wonderful world. If you let it be.

Have a great day. When everyday is a great day. No matter.
