USA Situation

Last week my daughter and her husband from Minnesota declared bankruptcy. he had his own carpet laying business and had worked 90 hours a week …previous to last year.   They did it to save their home.   And the stress put on them was enough to cause her to develop medical issues which forced them to delay having children.

My other daughter…having put herself through school for the past four years in addition to working a full time job…was just informed that she is no longer eligible for financial aid.   She is now forced to postpone her dream of    becoming a nurse.   And her husband lives in fear of losing his job.  Luckily if they had to…they could move in the basement of mother-in-law’s   house.

My father, who has developed cancer during the past year and lives with excruciating pain…waited in the doctor’s office last week for nearly six hours ( yes, he had an appointment ) last week.   He never did get in.   Hate to say it, but I am glad I wasn’t there because the entire  clinic would have heard me.

ALL of us have lost this past year.   ALL OF US.   We have had large part of our lives taken away…and in many cases, replaced with  something which is almost  intolerable.   We have less money, we have more stress and many more problems than ever before. Life is simply less fun than it used to be…

This report is NOT a rant or diatribe against life “back home”.  It is not an indictment against the government or “the powers that be.”

IT IS THE PRESENTATION OF AN ALTERNATIVE… a way of life that many of you thought no longer existed …

…many of us dream of the days when life was simpler.   And the past values of family, honesty, and simplicity were paramount.   Most of us   consider those days   gone and still we dream.

For a great many of us, the life which is evolving “back home” is becoming increasingly intolerable.   The values, the lifestyle, the centers of our lives…are eroding daily.   And we feel powerless.
