And I get productive.
A tree took out some power lines yesterday. They restored power fairly quickly. Then today, they must have still bee working on the wires because internet was down for a few hours. I had to find something to do that didn’t need internet. I cleaned up the hardwood floor, did some laundry, marinated the chicken for tomorrow night, cut up veggies for lunches, and even did a little writing. Now I’m having wine.
How was your day?

And they say you should post on a regular basis. I have been lax.
Went on vacation with the most beautiful girl in the word, my daughter. We visited the west coast. San Francisco Zoo is awesome.
We also visited Wolf Haven International, a wolf sanctuary in Tenino Washington. As we were awaiting the beginning of the tour, all the wolves began howling. The guide said, “They never do this in the middle of the day.” It was about 1 pm and hot. Mostly the wolves chill out in the heat of the day. We actually met all of the residents of Wolf Haven except the coyotes who decided to hide. I’m adding a link to the site’s gallery. Check out the beautiful past and present inhabitants. Donate if you feel so inclined. Or set up a visit.
All in all, it was one of my favorite vacations. Not just the places we visited nor the things we did but the fact that my daughter and I did it together.

Do you know someone who is being abused? Be a true friend. Give them all the support they need. Listen. Be there with an open ear, an open door, whatever they need. They may not even realize what they are experiencing is abuse.
Do you know when someone repeatedly calls you names, puts you down, makes you feel like a pile of nothing… THAT is verbal abuse and it hurts, sometimes even more than when you get hit. The damage goes even deeper than a bruise. It breaks your soul.
If a person thinks it is their fault, they may stay. You may think how can they do that? But listen to me, you have to realize, a victim might think they are the problem, not the abuser. If they can only behave or do the right thing, the abuse will stop. Until a victim understands what their experiencing is wrong and not their fault, they may not be able to leave.
The best you can do is give them support of whatever you can. Offer to take them to a shelter. Or simply listen.
Be a true friend.
