If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, and why?

By Tracy Schruder

(Venutian) Valiant Thor 

If I could be someone else for a day, I would choose to be Valiant Thor. He was (alleged) an alien from the planet, Venus. This visitor fascinated the world with his extraordinary story.

Valiant Thor’s visit to Earth supposedly took place in 1957, when he landed his spacecraft near Alexandria, Virginia, and met with President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Valiant Thors mission was to share advanced technology and promote messages of peace, love, and unity, warning humanity about the dangers of nuclear weapons, poverty, and environmental destruction.

In 1957, humanity was still reeling from the aftermath of World War II, which had ended just over a decade prior. The world was divided into two blocs, with the Western powers led by the United States on one side, and the Eastern bloc led by the Soviet Union on the other.

This Cold War era was marked by ideological tensions, proxy wars, and the threat of nuclear annihilation.

Famine and poverty were widespread, particularly in developing countries. The post-war economic boom had not yet reached many parts of the world, and millions of people struggled to access basic necessities like food, clean water, and healthcare.

Governments around the world were often rigid and authoritarian, with many countries still ruled by colonial powers or authoritarian regimes.

The Civil Rights Movement was just beginning to gain momentum in the United States, while the Soviet Union was still under the iron grip of Joseph Stalin’s successors.

Despite these challenges, 1957 was also a year of great scientific and technological progress.

The Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite, into space, marking the beginning of the space age. This achievement sparked a sense of wonder and excitement around the world, and marked the beginning of a new era of exploration and discovery.

Thor’s story, as told by Frank E. Stranges in his book “Stranger at the Pentagon,” describes him as a humanoid extraterrestrial who came to Earth with a delegation to help humanity avoid self-destruction .

He allegedly lived in the basement of the Pentagon for three years, taking regular meetings with high-ranking government officials and scientists.

While the authenticity of Valiant Thor’s story is disputed, his legend has endured as a symbol of hope and cosmic benevolence. I admire his motives and bravery, and I’m fascinated by the prospect of being an alien, visiting other planets, and experiencing life beyond Earth.

I wonder what kind of living accommodations they have on Venus, what kind of houses they live in, how they grow food, and whether they live under the planet’s surface or in the clouds. The possibilities are endless, and being Valiant Thor for a day would be an incredible adventure.

Unfortunately, there’s no concrete evidence to confirm Valiant Thor’s existence or his achievements during his alleged stay on Earth. However, his story continues to inspire and intrigue us, reminding us of the importance of promoting peace, love, and unity.

conclusion:

I would like to be Valiant Thor for a day because of his inspiring values and visionary plans for a peaceful Earth and universe. His courage to reach out to humanity during a tumultuous time in history, and his dedication to promoting love, unity, and understanding, resonate with me, deeply. By walking in his shoes, I hope to gain a deeper understanding of his unwavering commitment to creating a better world, and to be inspired by his extraordinary example.

My Sister’s Girl is My Girl

By Tracy Schruder

From Rita’s first breath, I was undone,

Fifteen and awestruck, my heart had just begun

To overflow with love for this precious soul,

My sister’s daughter, my heart made whole.

Then Jena arrived, a sweet serenade,

A melody of laughter, a heart that’s not afraid

Her beauty shines, a light in my day,

A blessing from above, in every single way.

Tracy, oh Tracy, with a smile so bright,

You light up my world, and make everything all right

Your intelligence and kindness, a treasure to see,

A gift from my sister, a blessing to me.

I never had children of my own to hold,

But God had other plans, a love that would unfold

Through my sisters’ girls, I’ve experienced the delight

Of being an aunt, a love that shines so bright.

So to my sisters, I offer my gratitude and praise,

For bringing these blessings into my life’s gaze

You’ve given me a gift, a treasure to behold,

A love that’s pure, and a heart that’s made of gold.

Rita, Jena, and Tracy, my loves, my shining stars,

You’ve brought joy to my life, near and far

I promise to always be here for you,

To support, to guide, and to love you true.

My sister’s girls are my girls, a love that’s strong and true,

A bond that’s unbreakable, a heart that beats for you.

My Approach to Budgeting: A Journey of Growth and Adaptation

By Tracy Schruder

Over the years, my approach to budgeting has undergone significant changes. When I first started living on my own, my top priority was paying my rent. I would set aside one-quarter of my rent money each payday, which was every week, thanks to my job at the time. With a steady income and ample overtime opportunities, I had a comfortable financial cushion.

After covering my rent, I would allocate funds for groceries, buying whatever I needed and wanted without worrying about a strict budget. My cable bill was relatively affordable at $40 per month, which I could easily cover with a single paycheck.

As I grew older and my career advanced, my financial responsibilities expanded. I took on a mortgage, telephone and satellite bills, car payments and maintenance, insurance premiums, and education expenses. With these added obligations, I had to develop a more sophisticated budgeting strategy to manage my finances effectively.

Although my financial situation has changed, I still prioritize my housing costs, paying my mortgage weekly, just as I did with my rent in the past. However, I now have to allocate my income among multiple bills each month, taking care to account for fluctuating expenses like hydro and food. To manage these variables, I set aside a specific amount for each expense category, ensuring I have enough funds to cover my needs.

This adaptive approach to budgeting has helped me navigate the complexities of financial responsibility while maintaining a comfortable standard of living. By prioritizing my expenses, allocating my income wisely, and regularly reviewing my budget, I’ve been able to achieve a sense of financial stability and security.
