Were you or any of your ancestors born or raised on a farm? Have you ever spent time on a working farm where you milked a cow, fed the chickens, plowed a field, baled hay, or harvested crops?

“Sleep”  Shakespeare tells us  “knits up the raveled sleeve of care.”

In 1775 three months after the Battle of Lexington and Concord,  the Continental Congress turned to Benjamin Franklin to establish the first national postal service with Franklin as Postmaster General.
Since then the USPS has delivered millions of letters and packages.   And although the tech revolution and the advent of cell phones and email have impacted our reliance on snail mail and on the P O,  postal workers and mail carriers still carry on through the proverbial  “rain,  sleet,  and snow.”

Resistance is hardly an abstract concept to toddlers put down to nap,  teenagers who’ve been grounded,  or grown-ups told they need surgery.

What kind of resistance have you put up to perceived injustices - as a child,  as an adolescent,  or as an adult?   Or perhaps you’ve resisted exploring your own feelings or actions?   Or on the flip side,  have you acquiesced or shoved a concern under the rug rather than resisting - perhaps to your later regret?
