holding my breath

we finally got another closing date for the house. This has been a roller coaster ride of epic proportions. I don't ever want to do this again. I will live in this home until I die. I am not going to get excited until we actually sign the papers. We are buying an old home built in 1851. I am moving from 14 years in the woods ..into  TOWN . big change for all of us, but I am positive it will be a good one. I love the house, it feels like home. so I am holding my breath, life on hold until we sign. then begins the big move. changing my entire life. for the better.

what is it about the moon that stirs souls and hearts?

drawing dreams to strange tides

dust in the attic

Sitting quietly in a room at the top of the stairs, surrounded by boxes of memories, I wait patiently for life to begin again.

trying to understand the math

So I admit math is not my strongest talent. I in fact hate it. I am trying to figure out the math behind the republican economic strategy, which is basically cut taxes and or give tax incentives to the rich and corporations, and tax the hell out of the poor and the middle class.

 so, in a nut shell, we are going to give rich people and corporations more money which supposedly will create jobs( although it doesn't appear to be working that way , it seems the money is going to bonuses) and take more money out of the pockets of the middle class and the poor( leaving them with little to no discretionary income to spend)

I fail to see how this is going to help the economy . with the majority of americans barely making ends meet they will not be buying any products they don't need. this means less money circulating and if no one is purchasing goods and services then companies are going to either close or downsize. less jobs-less money - horrible downward spiral.

makes no sense.
