SO LONG, 2016!

I’ve been wondering for more than a decade now; what’s going on with the changing weather… and all the weird things happening around the world.  It seems that there are so many more earthquakes, and floods (and storms in general) than there ever used to be… everywhere around the world.  In fact, there are: reports released from the United Nations show that earthquakes – and tsunamis, which they trigger, have been THE BIGGEST KILLERS for the previous TWO DECADES (Borgen, 2017). 

See HERE for a list of tsunamis from 2001 - 2011.

I first noticed this pattern starting with the major quake/ tsunami in the Indian Ocean, in 2004 (which registered at a 9.1 magnitude and killed over 283,000 people); this one, scientists said, altered our earth’s rotation slightly and caused a 2.3 cm wobbling of its axis.  It produced waves that were more than 150 feet tall and reached fourteen different countries! (Borgen, 2017).  

Since this, it seems, there have been ever-increasing catastrophic seismic and weather events, major solar events, rare astrological events, and violent behavior among various groups of people all over the globe.  It feels like the end of days…  fish floating to the surface of lakes, dead from unknown causes; birds dropping dead in mid-flight and falling from the sky… the wars, riots and terrorist attacks occurring all over the place; strange weather behavior, strange people behavior, strange universal behavior?

I’m almost afraid to see what 2017 is going to bring our way, weather-wise (can it get any crazier?) …and just a little frightened about what our “government” is going to be doing.  I have high hopes that Donald Trump will be able to maintain good relationships with other countries (rather than pissing any of them off); and I hope everyone can get off their ‘high horse’ now and just conduct business.  I didn’t want either of these people in charge, but the more I think about it, the more I’m thinking, Donald might just be what America needed in more ways than one; maybe it’s just time to shake things up here at home.

Kudos to Putin for not responding to Obama's desperate move; was he trying to get us into a war with Russa before he leaves office????  Geeze.  Donald was bashed for praising him!  I'll praise him!  Thank God he showed such restraint and is trusting that our president elect will be more reasonable to work with.  

I’m a little unsure about what's to come, yet, at the same time, I am excited for the future, and to see what it brings, personally and globally, whatever it may be.  HERE'S TO 2017 !!
