Plus throw the complete lunacy that is going on-and has been over here in the US, makes me sick. I really wonder where true human kindness, compassion has gone. A country/world gone bonkers at a time(really always) we should be pulling together instead of feeding all the unrest, racial issues, and everything else.
My mom has had two strokes over the last couple weeks, and I cannot even see her. My step daughter is about to give birth to her first child, and her husband has just found out he has a rare cancer, which obviously isn’t good, especially now looking to be a father.
My wife is in the midst of losing her job, one that she loves dearly, and the thought of even attempting to get out and look, and go through the hell hole that can be, especially now, well, it can all be a bit over whelming. I thought mentally that some of this wouldn’t get to me-or that I would not allow it to, but have found it easier said than done!
But in it all, I feel my wife and I are very fortunate in so many ways, especially when I do see so many that have little to nothing, with very little help or hope. It takes one look around to realize I have no reason to complain one bit, and try to help those less fortunate if possible. That helps bring grounding, and focus too.
When I do take time to sit and listen though, music almost always brings me so much joy, and settles my heart and soul, much like the sea does(even though I am far from it). So all is not lost, perspective from a good place does help! Keep the chins up folks, better days ahead hopefully, it may be awhile, but we need to keep on, keeping on!
