People speak with incredible contempt about — depending on their views — the rich, the poor, the educated, the foreign-born, the president, or the entire U.S. government.

Studies show our most creative moments occur during boredom.” ~Dr. Andrew Weil Sunrise in St. Joseph / Cindy La Ferle ______________ You are welcome to share my posts on social media.
