"Crazy Aunt Bertha"

"Crazy Aunt Bertha" we all have one, somewhere deep in our families, the one you may only see during the holidays, the one you will know to have a controversial comment before the day is over...Her opinion will be varied on everything depending on the clarity of her mind or how many eggnog's she has sipped over in the corner. 

 Aunts go by many a name, "Sally", "Edna" or maybe "Charlotte"... Yes it is true ...I have become your Crazy Aunt.

I don't know when it happened, if it was gradual or it came on sudden like a cold after the first sneeze, But none the less it's here and it's not going away.. My very opinionated self has arrived!

I never set out to have an opinion or thought about anyone or anything that didn't directly effect me, as being and old hippie I believe in live and let live, but last month my ex mother in law passed away and I was told of something she had said, and it goes something like this " If you don't speak up when you see a wrong happening, it is like you are condoning it".  This statement change my life. 

Maybe I had been slowly creeping up to that day or it just turned on the switch.. whichever I'll never know..But now, because of it, I will have to use my voice to right the wrongs, that I see as Unjust, Unkind and Unfair.

I don't ever want to be negative or even the voice of reason, I only want to bring to light what others maybe missing, Trying to keep it in a positive perspective, I am sure you know, going into this my perspective will be tainted as it is being filtered by my life experience and education.. so take it with a grain of salt, chew on it for a bit and arrive at your own conclusions.
