I hope that everyone has a better year than the last.
Look forward with hope.
Don't dwell on the past, but don't forget it either.
The past is what makes us who we are.
The future is what we hope to become.

Just sitting here contemplating on what I should do for the rest of my life.
Currently working in an aircraft factory. I don't see myself working there for another 20 years or more.
Hmm, what to do, what to do.

Sorry this is late. It was after midnight before I could get to my computer.
May 12 is the anniversary of the passing of Irena Sendler.
She helped smuggle out over 2500 people, mostly children, from the Warsaw Ghetto in Poland.
Irena was in charge of the Children's Division of Zegota (a Polish underground group to assist Jewish people).
As early as 1939, when the Germans invaded Warsaw, Irena began helping Jews by offering them food and shelter.
When the Warsaw Ghetto was erected in 1940, Irena could no longer help isolated Jews.
The Ghetto was an area the size of New York's Central Park and 450,000 Jewish people were forced into this area.
Irena first rescued the orphan children from inside the Ghetto.
Irena used her papers as a Polish social worker and papers from one of the workers of the Contagious Disease Department (who was a member of the underground Zegota) to enter the Warsaw Ghetto.
Irena (code name Jolanta) was arrested on October 20, 1943. When arrested she felt almost liberated. She was placed in the notorious Piawiak prison, where she was constantly questioned and tortured. During the questioning she had her legs and feet fractured.
The German who interrogated her was young, very stylish and spoke perfect Polish. He wanted the names of the Zegota leaders, their addresses and the names of others involved. Irena fed him the version that she and her collaborators had prepared in the event they were captured. The German held up a folder with information of places, times and persons who had informed on her. She received a death sentence. She was to be shot. Unbeknown to her, Zegota had bribed the German executioner who helped her escape. On the following day the Germans loudly proclaimed her execution. Posters were put up all over the city with the news that she was shot. Irena read the posters herself.
During the remaining years of the war, she lived hidden, just like the children she rescued. Irena was the only one who knew where the children were to be found. When the war was finally over, she dug up the bottles and began the job of finding the children and trying to find a living parent.
Almost all the parents of the children Irena saved, died at the Treblinka death camp.

My little black cat that I have had since he was a kitten was killed by a large animal Sunday night.
He was about 6 years old. I had expected him to be with me for a lot longer.
I will miss him curling up next to me and purring loudly while I watched television and when we would chase each other around in the yard.
RIP my little kitty.
