I’ve been silent for a bit. Truth be told, I bummed out and have started seeing a counselor. I’m working to change my perceptions so that I can stop stressing out and enjoy my life more.
An important insight I’ve stumbled into, is that my day in the sun is past. I can no longer stay involved with the energy and passion I had when I was younger. I’ve said it about Biden and now must apply it to myself, It’s time to let the younger folks take over.
It’s their world now and they must do what they think appropriate. I am assuming the position of an elder and will offer ideas and advice, but now it’s out of my hands and in theirs.
To maintain my balance and not put a bigger ding in my Wa, I’m removing all political and news sources from the screen. I am not allowing any of the nonsense and hysteria into my mental space, no matter Left, Right, or Center. The only input will be written and from reputable sources. I can’t hear one more person with their hair on fire.
Also, I’m letting go of any desire to convince others about the reality of Climate Change/Global Warming or the occupant in the White House. It’s up to each of us to sort it out as best we can. I haven’t quit the Cause. I still believe in Rule of Law, fighting Global Warming, improving Social Justice, and the weird concept that there is a simple Universal Morality that we all can follow: don’t lie, steal, bully, and honor/protect the Earth from greed, power grubbing, and waste.
To all my friends, Right, Left, and Center, my love and thanks for our years chatting. Please remember that all of us are part of the human family, related by DNA , blood, and the human experience. All children are ours and they need cherishing and nurturing. Hold fast to the Golden Rule.
As part of my mental health regime, I’m looking for things that are positive and challenging to my mind. Already, I have a scientific quest that should keep me happy: I know almost nothing about it, which will require lots of research in physics and chemistry, perhaps auditing university classes at reduce Seniors Rates. I’ll blog about it if I get the thing rolling.
Lastly, I’ll continue to post my photos and thoughts. I hope to increase both the frequency and the tone.
To everyone who visits me here, thank you. I hope it is of some worth.
