As I sit here and ponder the years past, I feel a bit of melancholy as well as somewhat of a remorseful and penitent emotion deep down inside.
I am approaching yet another trip around the earth this week and at my age I am so thankful for this opportunity. So many of my close friends and kin have moved on to their everlasting home and I know I am blessed.
The sad feelings come from my wanting to finish my ever-wanting bucket list.
Oh, I have completed quite a good many items, but some go unfinished.

The Agricultural Land Easement (ALE) is an option that can be used to protect native grasslands.
To establish an ALE, the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) works with a land trust to fund the purchase of a permanent easement from a landowner in exchange for a cash payment. The ALE is an essential tool for land-owners interested in maintaining agricultural uses of their properties in perpetuity.

Blocks away from where state lawmakers will consider redrawing Mississippi’s political maps to reduce Black representation in government, thousands of people gathered Wednesday in Jackson to protest those efforts and mobilize people to vote in November.
The energy from the crowd was so palpable and raucous at times that some of the event’s speakers had to pause their remarks to let the attendees participate in rounds of chants, shouting, “No justice, no peace.”
