Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka...
"And if I only could, make a deal with God, and get him to swap our places, be running up that road, be running up that hill, be running up that building..."

The Truth Is Out There...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration turns 51 years old today. Since its inception in 1958, NASA has accomplished many great scientific and technological advances in air and space. NASA remains the leading force in scientific research and in sparking public interest in space exploration, as well as science and technology in general. Space exploration has taught us to view Earth, ourselves, and the universe in a new way. The tremendous accomplishments of NASA demonstrate vividly that humans can achieve previously inconceivable feats, with the realization that Earth is just a tiny "blue marble" in the cosmos.

I Pray for Jackie's Strength...
Jacqueline Lee Bouvier Kennedy Onassis was born 80 years ago today. She was beautiful, charming, talented, gifted, and immensely respected worldwide. Every woman in America wanted to look like her and her taste in fashion quickly became the national standard. Although "Jackie," as she was called, professed no particular interest in politics, she quickly became a major asset to her ambitious husband.
She traveled around the world as First Lady and impressed many dignitaries with her knowledge of foreign languages. The American public was charmed by the sweet-voiced Jackie who led them on a televised tour of the White House to show off its treasures.
Above all else, Jacqueline Kennedy was devoted to her children. Mrs. Kennedy once said, "If you bungle raising your children, I don't think whatever else you do well matters very much." The nation grieved along with the First Family when the Kennedys' third child died shortly after birth in 1963. But there was even greater grief yet to come. On November 22, 1963, President Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas. The nation watched transfixed as the young widow led her family and the world in mourning the fallen president.
Through her amazing courage and strength she mustered after this tragic loss, she helped the country mourn the loss of one of the greatest American Presdient's ever to live. This woman can remind us all that through any sort of tragedy or loss, we must find the strength to move on, and use the pain to channel goddness and hope.
To honor the life and legacy of Jackie, I have included Tori Amos singing JACKIE'S STRENGTH:
"A Bouvier 'til her wedding day, shots rang out, the police came. Mama layed me on the front lawn and prayed for Jackie's stregth."

All Work and No Play...
"I would not think of quarreling with your interpretation nor offering any other, as I have found it always the best policy to allow the film to speak for itself."

This Woman's Work...
"Pray God you can cope. I stand outside. This woman's work. This woman's world...I know you've got a little life in you yet. I know you've got a lot of strength left."
