A high school photo of me wearing a "God's Eye," which is what we wore over our graduation gowns in 1970 to show our disapproval of the Vietnam War. The God's Eye, I just read in Wikipedia (take it for what it's worth) is symbolic of the power of seeing and understanding that which is unknown and unknowable, The Mystery. The four points represent the elemental processes earth, fire, air, and water. I even had opinions then, not to mention the belief that I understood the mysteries of life.

Consider yourself lucky. Some of the blog posts of 2011 got away – meaning they were never posted. And that is a good thing.

It’s like the road less taken, only it’s the posts not posted.

I use my husband and kids to be my filters, not that I would need one or anything (yes I do). Sometimes I go too far even in the going too far category of life in which I live and/or write..

So here’s to what I haven’t posted, thanks to family members saying don’t do that.

I salute those who have laughed along with me, provided inspiration and support and actually subscribe to my blogs.

As to all of you people I haven’t quite offended yet  with my blunt views, may you worry that I still will publish these posts if I can get them by the family censors and/or folks with more common sense than me.

Happy New Year all.
