First Post

I considered naming this blog "Opinionated." I changed my mind after I looked up the word.

Turns out ~

World English Dictionary

opinionated (əˈpɪnjəˌneɪtɪd)

—adj

holding obstinately and unreasonably to one's own opinions;dogmatic ~ that's not me. Sure, I feel strongly about things, but I want to believe that I am open to the ideas of others.  I'm willing, even anxious to hear what others have to say.  So far, though, I'm a liberal, mostly green, lapsed Catholic, retired RN, married American Baby Boomer. Based on that information alone, you can guess that I've got thoughts on politics, conservation, religion, the state of health care, being married and aging in America.  There's so much more to me though.  Stick around.  Maybe we can talk.
