The Sunday comics were up to their usual shenanigans today. Life must be getting back to normal, at least a little bit at a time. Thank you, cartoonists, comic strip creators and other illustrators of the quandaries of daily life, for helping me navigate this past year . A little smile goes a long way…even if its only a smirk.

The B.A.N.J.O. Party
A political party with these stated principles...
Benificence – the quality or state of doing or producing good
Autonomy – the property of having one’s decisions respected, honored, and heeded within a political context
Nonmaleficence – an obligation and dedication not to inflict harm on others; closely associated with primum non nocere (first do no harm)
Justice – moral obligation to act on the basis of fairness, entitlement, equality and in accordance with law
Openness – openhearted, openminded, open actions (transparency)
You don’t need to leave your current party. Just bring these qualities and principles in with you, and we will all benefit, regardless of what party we affiliate with.
I began this painting on January 6, 2021 and finished it on January 20, 2021. If we look for the good in each other, we find common ground. Look for the bad in each other, and we find poisoned soil. Plant the seeds of the future where they can grow, on common ground.
Good Energy Translations
Many years ago, my husband was stationed in Europe. When you are living far from your birth family, the other Americans around you become your second family. My European second family has stepped forward to help with the translations of Why(r)us the Virus and I can now provide the book in German (Why(r)us das Virus), French (Why(r)us le Virus) and Spanish (Why(r)us El Virus). The women who did the translations (Angie, Sophie and Andrea) were military spouses like myself, and we worked together in Europe to look after the American families stationed with us. Angie is a German national, Sophie is a French National, and Andrea is the daughter of a Mexican national, and all of them donated their time and energy to provide excellent translations so that the book can be of use world-wide. I am so grateful to them for their continuing contributions to increase the Good Energy in the world. Hopefully we can visit again soon, once the vaccine has made a difference in the pandemic’s spread. Just so lucky to have their friendship and support…
