Preparedness itself can be a rabbit hole, and for a time it was my rabbit hole. The events of the past few weeks have been my wake-up call. I still do the necessary things to make sure I am ready for whatever evil comes our way. I still check the headlines. But I find I am taking more time to do the things that make me happy and bring me peace.<br /><br />And yes - sand may be pounded wherever we feel compelled to pound it! :)<br /><br /> Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-50455056411758931592021-05-31T11:58:44.177-05:002021-05-31T11:58:44.177-05:00This is the precarious knife-edge we, as preppers,...This is the precarious knife-edge we, as preppers, occupy, Vicki. The whole idea is to prepare, and then live your life. The media wants us sucked down one rabbit hole or the other. It's up to us, with God's help, to mind what's going on right in front of us. Like that lady you told us about said; "Stop listening to the fools..." I get my "news," and then shut the box off. I might check in again if someone on the ham radio says "Did you hear about...?" Otherwise, I go about my day. I tweak my preps, and then go on living...Peteforesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00702888855868877243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-20249312964182697062021-05-31T11:51:34.326-05:002021-05-31T11:51:34.326-05:00...She didn't say where they should pound that......She didn't say where they should pound that sand, Gorges...

I generally make an attempt to do the exact opposite of what they want me to do. It makes my day, when I can ruffle their feathers.

I am so done with it all. I will still keep an eye on them so I know what is coming, but my answer to whatever evil they come up with is "Nope. Not gonna do it."<br /><br />I completely get moving to be close to kids and grands. That is exactly what brought me back to my home state some 24 years ago and I have never, not even once, regretted that decision.<br /><br />I would love to sit on a porch and have good conversation. We need more of that and less of the efforts to divide us. God bless.

I would love to sit on the porch with you. We do here and love talking to the neighbors. This last year has definitely made us all more aware of the value of the everyday with family and friends. In fact, we're moving closer to two of our boys and their new little ones as soon as possible. A year of separation was not good. It's like a lost year. I used to follow the news a lot. Not so much anymore. I'm tired of being lied to and manipulated. We'll live our lives as best we can, happy to spend time with those we love. And continue to prepare as best we can for whatever comes our wayAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08016981433104024327noreply@blogger.com
