This is my puppy, Lilla. She turned one yesterday. Don't let this angelic picture fool you, she is full of energy, curiosity, and mischief and she never stops moving. Love having her around, she keeps me on my toes - 'especially' when she's trying to attack the footies I like to wear around the house or chew on my shoes. Yes, while I am wearing them.

I made a mistake today. I knew better, but I walked right into it.  I responded to a political Facebook post.  I've been carefully avoiding them, but for some reason I felt compelled to look up what was happening in a picture and  'reply'.  I shared what I had found and was met with an angry response by a stranger accusing me pointedly of 'not caring.'  I hadn't stated an opinion - heck, I didn't even know what any of it meant, but wanted to look this one up because it was so clearly trying to steer the reader to think a certain way about what was happening.  I don't think I did anything wrong but it still bothered me - a lot.  I'm sad that everyone is so freaked out.  I don't believe most people are inherently mean and don't want to live in a state of fear, but that's where we ALL seem to be right now to some degree or another.  So, I'm just going to wait out the next few months (or years?), ignore Facebook political posts, drink wine and stock up on chocolate. I'm all about being happy right now, and that should pretty much do it.   Feel free to follow my lead, I think it might work out just fine.
