Gloria Moraga - Political Woman

Well, we made it. It's been a tough political road to Nov. 3. I'm watching the election results come in with high hopes. I'm praying that we will elect a kinder, more inclusive President who will represent all of us. Not just the Rich and the Racists.

We are going through some rough times in America. Through it all, I realize more and more every day, how badly our leaders "COMMUNICATE!"  The Presidential Debate Sucked! Rudeness and Bullying won out over information and communication. Trying to get the right information on the President's COVID Infection is impossible. People refuse to wear masks. Why are we so DUMB! Wearing masks is not a political issue. It's a MEDICAL ISSUE!

I'm FRIED. BUT! I did clean my closet. I have photos, I'm working on a video, but I'm so embarrassed by the BEFORE PICTURES.  Those pictures are a statement about my depression and how much the pandemic has changed my life.  The good news, my loved ones, My sister and my nephew, came for a visit, and we had a blast!

This day began quite happily, thank you! And thank you, my daughter. She surprised me with cheesecake—a beautiful thing to behold. I started thinking about all the surprises in my life, and not just sweet ones on a plate. Some co-workers in my career surprised me by being totally, unexpectedly wonderful.

I'm thinking about the University bullies. On the one hand, I had two bullies giving me hell; on the other, I had this particular co-worker.

This one special man taught me how to edit videos. And he saved me from the bullies. Today's September-Happy podcast is about appreciating the people in your life. Because not everybody lets you know how much they appreciate you. So say it. Communicate it, One-On-One! You and they will be happy you did. 

My September Happiness Quest continues and I'm finding many reasons to be thankful and happy. Even though I loath going to the brace repair shop, I got through it today. And enjoyed a book, a French film, and more... 

The film was about divorce and even though going through my divorce was miserable. I'm happy I did it. 

How does this all tie together? You gotta listen to this episode to find out. Please share and please subscribe. 

I have many "Reasons for Living." Some are dead serious (pun intended); some are not! The VOICE COMMAND REMOTE is my Reason for Living #65! I love my remote.  And it is definitely one of the reasons I was really happy today. As we get closer to the election, I'm looking for joy in everything and finding it. Join me! 

Even though the weather was weird today, my remote did not let me down! 

I quote this Wall Street Journal article in this episode of One-On-One. Here is the link:

Are you ready for Fall 2020? I am definitely raring to go. Happy to see summer in the rearview mirror. As everybody is posting pictures of their vacations and picnics, etc., I've just been home. Trying not to get COVID19!  As an old, washed-up political reporter, I'm happy to get ready for the election cycle. Many important issues are facing us. I'm going to focus on the issues, not the personalities. I'm also going to focus on the POSITIVE. Stay with me. Please subscribe, download, and share! Be safe! 

2.1 million people in the United States are living with Limb Loss. Each year 1 million people in the world undergo an amputation. That's one every thirty seconds somewhere in the world. For the first time, the Physical Therapy Department at Sacramento State is opening up its popular amputee clinic to the world. Because of COVID, the popular clinic is going virtual, professors and students will be using Telehealth to communicate with patients. One-On-One communication in the digital age includes health care clinics and doctor's visits online and on the computer screen!

Professor Toran MacLeod is one of the brilliant faculty members I worked with at Sacramento State. It was a pleasure to sit down and talk with him on Zoom about his upcoming clinic, his students, his digital projects, and the importance of Communication and kindness. Especially now, but always.
