February 25, 2021

Good morning everyone, today is February 25, 2021, Thursday. Yes another month hurdling by. It is only about 2 weeks til we turn the clocks ahead and we get longer days, can’t wait, it means spring is around the corner. I hope everyone is well this morning, looking out the window the weather looks beautiful, maybe a good day to get out. I trust everyone took advantage of yesterday’s present of a beautiful day and did something fun.
As I was walking yesterday I thought to myself growing older is really not a lot of fun as I have told you I do feel lucky with the life I have had. I think I have experienced many things others have not. For that I am thankful, and I thank god everyday for what he has given me because if it wasn’t for his kindness and goodness I would not have had my life. On a secular level I was taught very young not ever to be that happy because the other shoe could easily drop. And at this age I’m finding that to be more true than not. I have gone through years of illness now and just when I think I feel good something creeps in, again I thank god they are minor and can easily dealt with but it just gets me down sometimes and I abhor that feeling. I was also taught that god only gives us what we can bear. If you put all your problems in a barrel with everyone else’s you would always take yours back. When I awoke this morning I was not as jovial as I am on other mornings but talking is making me come alive again, because I don’t want to miss this beautiful day. I’m tying to plan my next move, that may also be part of my problem, I also believe an idle mind is the devil’s worship, I always have to be doing something. I can’t tell you the last time I sat and watched a movie , I just feel that time could be better spent. Growing up I had friends when it was time to watch television at nigh their mother would always bring out something for them to do knitting, crocheting, something to keep their hand busy. Others would have to practice the piano 1 hour before tv and their father being a surgeon would drop the scalpel between their fingers as they did the scales. I myself when I finally sit down around 8:30 9 o’clock come with a barrage of books and papers to read while I watch tv, now the internet has been added. Maybe that in itself is a problem I cannot sit idle.
Today let’s enjoy this glorious day and have some fun, I don’t know what , but I will try and find something.
Enjoy, Til Tomorrow!
