Good Morning everyone, today is Tuesday June 1, 2021. So far so good for the weather outlook, I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend, if you survived the deluge. Actually yesterday was pretty nice, so I did take advantage of that.I hope you did the same.
Over the weekend the idea of trust stuck in my brain for several different reasons. TRust is the ability to believe in something or someone. That they are reliable, a matter of integrity. That a person is as good as their word. Without trust a relationship can never grow, there would always be a question of doubt. That kills all hope of having a relationship. When I was taken to NYC on two occasions as an emergency, one was a Friday night about 9:00, a doctor met me at the door and said we will get you settled and into surgery by 10:00 they were wheeling me in, I had to trust the reputation of this man and my doctor in Jersey. Months later again at night I was brought to New York, and a PA came to the room late and told me they would be operating first thing in the morning, this time I met the doctor while being prepped I had to trust again in this man’s reputation. I knew neither of these men but I had to trust them. When seven of the doctors who take care of me, and have allowed me to survive told me I had to be vaccinated against Covid, I had to listen, I’ve listened to them as they put me back together, why wouldn’t I trust them now.
When the CDC said wear a mask and social distance , I listened because I trusted their knowledge. Now when they say I no longer need the mask or social distance in most settings, I listened again I trust their word. Let’s face it we do not know everything about all things so we must trust professionals. Even a small thing, like when I bought the Bacala last week, I trusted the fishmonger, I know nothing about fish, meat I could wing a little but fish, nothing, so when I asked if it was boneless I trusted him when he said yes. Well yesterday I was wrong, I wanted to grill this fish, but first I had to remove 1000 bones. When it was cooke dI could barely eat it and no one else could either. I’m not saying the fish was bad because I’m sure it wasn’t. My ignorance I think I the way to prepare it was the problem, so most of it wound up in the garbage. So my trust was a little misguided.
We live most of our lives trusting in the word of other people and for the most part everything works out fine. But when it doesn’t we feel let down, question ourselves and our ability to do things. That’s where we are wrong, we cannot be experts on every subject so we must relie on the reputation and word of others who are the experts. Many times we are too hard on ourselves. The other night I went to the supermarket with Justin, as we walked around I realized we were the only ones without a mask, so I started to feel a little guilty like I was doing the wrong thing. Then I I said to mysel it is everyone’s purrogative to do as they chose. Masks are no longer required but if you want to wear it , do it if you don’t that is your choice.
Well June is here already, that means the summer season has begun. Tradionally summer is a time for fun and enjoyment. Let’s go back to tradition and enjoy the next few months,let’s tap our inner child and enjoy those small things like we did as a child. I ‘m looking forward to doing just that.
Well I see the brightening on the horizon, so I know that, that is my time to leave. Today I am having lunch with two dear friends that I know for many years, this lunch is a long time in planningwith vaccines, weather, schedules but today it comes to fruition, and I couldn’t be happier. That is my enjoyment for today. We will meet again, Til Tomorrow!
