I have been thinking all day long about such things. I spent a good portion of my day in Court today. I was waiting to be assigned a case as a Juror. It did not happen. I sat in the room waiting and contemplating much.
I am frustrated by our systems. The Courts are full of nonsense and they are absolutely corrupted. Now it is become evident that our Health Care system is as well in disarray. I might prefer to return to the driving big rigs once again. Part of me really enjoyed that during my young adulthood.
Nahh, I can feel what is coming. I am definitely ‘short.’ I can tell by my breath and stamina. It is all good though. Six years ago by this time of that year, I anticipated that I would not see Christmas or the New Year. Instead, I have endured 6 of each, already. It has been glorious.
Just shy of a year ago, 49 weeks actually, I learned of my best friends demise. Found down, nobody could determine the time of death. We were friends for more than half a century. Suddenly he was gone. Nobody knows when he passed. I grieve still, every day. I feel sad on this subject. Well time is a construct and not truly relevant in the great grand scheme. I just want to not leave a mess when I go.
No warning, just gone. I have such amazing grandchildren. It is strange to see a living being who barely knows the World, and yet my heart is so excited when they are in sight.
In a word, it is just ‘Happy.’ That is what I have mostly these days, Happy. Happy is good. According to Genesis, Creation has been judged as ‘Good.’
All as planned. The ground is shifting right beneath our feet and not many are aware. Canada shines as an example of deterioration and decline.
I have been deeply involved in what previously would have been a routine referral to see an ortho Dr. Of course the patient would not normally be even remotely involved in a simple insurance referral ... and would slide into frustration and oblivion. I have spent hours on the phone, conference calls, long holds. I don't even have to identify myself now; they pick up the phone and call me by name. I have been told that all has been worked out - only to discover that it has not.
Of course all this time spent keeps me from personal as well as societal/political concerns. Hmmmmm
Driving an 18 wheeler is also not what it used to be. 😯
