I missed yesterday - a bit under the weather. We certainly can not complain about this winter here in Canada - unless of course you LIKE snow. I like it - to look at but that's about it.  So today I am grateful for photos- visuals that summer is around the corner and the promise of spring - NEW life with it! 
I watched a documentary last night on North Korea. I am thankful I AM in Canada.
To be ruled by a man (men) who watch their people starve, keep them ignorant so that they do not realize what the rest of the world is like. The only one  obese in the Documentary was Kim Jong il. They worship no God other than Kim Jong il. They have prisons every where and most things are punishable by death. Speak Ill of il and you are put to death.
The ones that do escape to China are then treated like dogs and forced into sexual labour - or sent back  - where they will be put to death.  Shame on China. 
I say Thank God I am born in Canada and then I look at our leader - S----- H----- -( fill in the blanks any way you wish.) With him building  the new prisons and turning Canadians into criminals. Changing the name of OUR government to Harpers Government.  I had a friend who bitched about S.H all the time but when it came time to vote - she didn't have time to look into the other candidates so she voted "for the evil she knew". 
Instead of making a change because of being lazy - that is what it is all about, not going to vote, not finding out who possibly has your best interest at heart. LAZY. Vote for the evil you know? Then deserve the evil you get.  BUT your children don't.  I did not VOTE for S.H.  I WILL NOT vote for S.H.  In this country we have the right to vote. I will not vote for the lesser evil but for someone who gives me hope. I am thankful I was born in Canada and hopeful next election we will vote out our Kim Jon- opppps I meant S.H.
GIVE thanks.  Not sure who you will vote for, I suggest you start looking into it now...  or just look around, people hurting, losing jobs, jails being built...   

I am thankful for my girls who bring me smiles every day. No dogs in North Korea. ;-(

It's incredible when you start o research a topic like Cannabis and learn so much more. 
I have in fact I guess been awakened. Rather than blame myself for my past ignorance I hope to  forgive and try to make it better.  It is not until my  .. '40ish' (hee hee) years that  I will admit rarely did I think past me, me & mine.  Or perhaps it has nothing to do with my age but more precisely  life lessons that have finally made me stop and take a good look around.  Oh well, what matters is I am here now and there is no turning back.

O.K.,  EVEN if you don't agree with me on Cannabis (I believe in time, once educated that will change - how can it not?) - are you aware that in places all over the world  "they" and we we all know who 'they' are, 'they' who only care about $$$.  
THEY are trying to have many, many, many plants patented -OWNED by a company and punishable to anyone else if you grow these plants.  These plants are NOT cannabis.
The plants 'they' are talking about are herbs, flowers in your garden, plants that make vitamins.  Even vitamins that you can buy over the counter  - you may soon need a prescription for.  Availability down and cost UP.   DON'T believe me!? Research it for yourself.  Don't care?  You will one day...
Humans.. we try to control everything - plants, animals, each other.  Each time we hurt anything we are really hurting ourselves. We don't have to all like each other. BUT for the greater good we better all start to get along and work together to NOT let some stuff that is happening- HAPPEN.  Stop hurting each other.
