 TREE HOUSE NEWS🌳


Land of The Whispering Pines


🌾🌺~"Good morning, everyone!~🌺🌾


Hey, pssst, keep this secret to yourself, OK? THE SUN IS SHINING! It's almost like I was climbing to the top of the entry tube to my bomb shelter, wearing a stained and torn top, blue jeans with the legs cut off to make shorts, disheveled hair, and squinty eyes from living in subdued light.

This morning, the radiation monitors all around the shelter's complex flashed green, indicating a safe level of radiation outside. I'm about to flip the lid over, ... and ... WOW, THAT LIGHT! For the first time in ten years!

Or how about the individual who walked across the desert for a hundred miles, then found an oasis and nearly drowned in the pond? With her thirst satiated, she lay in the shade under beautifully manicured palm trees and flower beds along the edge of a well-groomed lawn, enjoying the coolness of the grass under her, and then the mirage disappeared.

TODAY'S DISCUSSION:

Mirage Or Reality?


But no sooner does one mirage dissipate, another materializes to replace the previous. The trick is not to stop dreaming. Try to see if it is possible to connect the dream with reality. In reality, it will never be a perfect fit, but you may come up with some very interesting facsimiles.

Look at Walt Disney's fantasy movies, which are the best facsimile we have to bring fantasy to life. Those dreams came to the screen from books, legends, and short stories crafted by writers and storytellers over centuries. And our dreams continue.

Using Myself As An Example:
At one time, I had the world by the arse, had property facilities, and a whole bunch of ideas, some in progress, some still on paper, and all the play toys anyone would desire to have back in the 1970s. Then, a bad marriage kind of busted all that up. My collateral, the property, was gone. Let's just say If I wasn't an alcoholic before, I certainly was after.

But after the breakup, I sobered up, had fun, and traveled a lot. Then, I settled down and began my career in social work. I never dreamed I would be a social worker, but this work was very self-satisfying. It felt good to help someone else, and as long as I was of service to anyone who needed it, that made my day. It was a fulfilling job. It had its kinks, but it was so worth it. And I don't play cards anyway.😆

My last ship came into port, and my mirage materialized when I needed it. Now that I am retired and no longer able to do the physical part of volunteering, I have chosen to do my best to share this experience with you here.

Under the Orange Pus Bag's administration in Shmuckarica, I would have been living in a tent. What would have happened to all the people with whom I chaired AA meetings, not just in church basements but also in institutions for the criminally dysfunctional, Narcotics Anonymous, women's shelters, soup kitchens, and drop-ins from 1986 until 1992, and then from 1992 to 2012 as a support worker, managing a drop-in for mental health consumers?

I did my best with the tools I had, made my amends, and followed the road to redemption as best I could. With all the pain and suffering I've endured in the past decade, I think I have already traveled a good portion of that road to redemption.

Now it's time for The National News:

Trump threatens new sanctions on Russia after weeks of conciliatory statements toward Moscow

President Donald Trump on Friday threatened new sanctions on Russia, including on its banking sector, in response to Moscow’s continued bombardment of Ukraine — a significant warning as he seeks to end the conflict.
The new threat was notable after weeks of conciliatory statements toward Russia and its President Vladimir Putin, including saying he was open to lifting sanctions.
Now, Trump says he could slap new, tougher sanctions on Russia in his bid to end the war.
“Based on the fact that Russia is absolutely “pounding” Ukraine on the battlefield right now, I am strongly considering large scale Banking Sanctions, Sanctions, and Tariffs on Russia until a Cease Fire and FINAL SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT ON PEACE IS REACHED,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“To Russia and Ukraine, get to the table right now, before it is too late. Thank you!!!” he went on.

**Trade war truce? Not so fast. Trump has Canada's auto sector in his sights**
One trade war down, two to go — maybe more. U.S. President Donald Trump has dialled back his tariffs against Canada after rattling the economy from the markets, to factories, to the borders.
But that was this week's battle.
There's another one next week when his steel and aluminum tariffs take effect; then another three weeks after that, when Trump is threatening other tariffs on a multitude of countries.

NOTICIAS DE LA CASA DEL ÁRBOL🌳


La tierra de los pinos susurrantes


🌾🌺~"¡Buenos días a todos!~🌺🌾


Oye, pssst, guarda este secreto para ti, ¿de acuerdo? ¡EL SOL ESTÁ BRILLANDO! Es casi como si estuviera subiendo a la parte superior del tubo de entrada a mi refugio antibombas, con una camiseta manchada y rota, jeans azules con las piernas cortadas para hacer pantalones cortos, cabello despeinado y ojos entrecerrados por vivir en una luz tenue.

Esta mañana, los monitores de radiación alrededor del complejo del refugio parpadearon en verde, lo que indica un nivel seguro de radiación afuera. Estoy a punto de voltear la tapa... y... ¡GUAU, ESA LUZ! ¡Por primera vez en diez años!

¿O qué tal la persona que caminó por el desierto durante cien millas, luego encontró un oasis y casi se ahoga en el estanque? Con su sed saciada, se tumbó a la sombra bajo palmeras y macizos de flores bellamente cuidados a lo largo de al borde de un césped bien cuidado, disfrutando de la frescura de la hierba bajo ella, y luego el espejismo desapareció.

EL DEBATE DE HOY:

¿Espejismo o realidad?


Pero tan pronto como se disipa un espejismo, otro se materializa para reemplazar al anterior. El truco es no dejar de soñar. Trate de ver si es posible conectar el sueño con la realidad. En realidad, nunca encajará perfectamente, pero puede que se le ocurran algunos facsímiles muy interesantes.

Mire las películas de fantasía de Walt Disney, que son el mejor facsímil que tenemos para darle vida a la fantasía. Esos sueños llegaron a la pantalla a través de libros, leyendas y cuentos breves creados por escritores y narradores a lo largo de los siglos. Y nuestros sueños continúan.

Usándome a Mí Mismo Como Ejemplo:
En un momento dado, tenía el mundo bajo mi control, tenía propiedades, instalaciones y un montón de ideas, algunas en proceso, otras todavía en papel, y todos los juguetes que cualquiera desearía tener en los años 70. Luego, un mal matrimonio destruyó todo eso. Mi garantía, la propiedad, desapareció. Digamos que si no era alcohólico antes, ciertamente lo fui después.

Pero después de la ruptura, me volví sobrio, me divertí y viajé mucho. Luego, me establecí y comencé mi carrera en trabajo social. Nunca soñé con ser trabajador social, pero este trabajo era muy satisfactorio. Me sentía bien al ayudar a otra persona, y mientras pudiera ser útil para cualquiera que lo necesitara, eso me alegraba el día. Era un trabajo gratificante. Tenía sus inconvenientes, pero valía la pena. Y de todas formas no juego a las cartas.😆

Mi último barco llegó al puerto y mi espejismo se materializó cuando lo necesitaba. Ahora que estoy jubilado y ya no puedo hacer la parte física del voluntariado, he decidido hacer todo lo posible para compartir esta experiencia con ustedes aquí.

Bajo la administración de Orange Pus Bag en Shmuckarica, habría estado viviendo en una tienda de campaña. ¿Qué habría sido de todas las personas con las que presidí reuniones de AA, no solo en los sótanos de la iglesia, sino también en instituciones para delincuentes disfuncionales, Narcóticos Anónimos, refugios para mujeres, comedores populares y centros de acogida desde 1986 hasta 1992, y luego desde 1992 hasta 2012 como asistente social, gestionando un centro de acogida para consumidores de salud mental?

Hice lo mejor que pude con las herramientas que tenía, enmendé mis errores y seguí el camino de la redención lo mejor que pude. Con todo el dolor y sufrimiento que he soportado en la última década, creo que ya he recorrido una buena parte de ese camino hacia la redención.

Ahora es el momento de The National News:

ÚLTIMA HORA:

Trump amenaza con nuevas sanciones a Rusia después de semanas de declaraciones conciliadoras hacia Moscú

El presidente Donald Trump amenazó el viernes con nuevas sanciones a Rusia, incluido su sector bancario, en respuesta al continuo bombardeo de Moscú a Ucrania, una advertencia significativa mientras busca poner fin al conflicto.
La nueva amenaza fue notable después de semanas de declaraciones conciliatorias hacia Rusia y su presidente Vladimir Putin, incluyendo decir que estaba abierto a levantar las sanciones.
Ahora, Trump dice que podría imponer nuevas sanciones más duras a Rusia en su intento de poner fin a la guerra.
“Basándome en el hecho de que Rusia está “machacando” absolutamente a Ucrania en el campo de batalla en este momento, estoy considerando seriamente sanciones bancarias, sanciones y aranceles a gran escala contra Rusia hasta que se alcance un alto al fuego y un ACUERDO FINAL DE RESOLUCIÓN SOBRE LA PAZ”, escribió Trump en Truth Social.
