If you’re looking for ” feel good ” and ” warm and fuzzy ” , this is not for you. What comes up comes out, and at this time I find myself tired of so many things , many that could be corrected with just a little concern for others.
I am tired of :
…..partisan politics where consensus has died and agendas preempt constituency needs.
…..potholes on major roads, especially the interstate.
…..talking heads of television, who intertwine opinion and fact , so that we get led down a rabbit hole.
…..fickle football fans who desert, criticize, and humiliate their teams /coaches when they lose.
…..aggressive and angry drivers, who push from the rear, pass on the right, and ignore yield and stop signs.
…..people who use information as power ; wrong information can be disastrous.
…..public parking lots that are poorly designed and therefore quite dangerous.
…..hypocrites.
…..self-serving and self-righteous religious organizations, including, but not limited to, churches.
….. local elected government officials who don’t have the courtesy to respond to a text or email if only with a ” got it “——-but grateful for those who do. AND I VOTE !!!!!!
…..the culture of entitlement ( me , first and only ) that is prevalent in our nation.
Yes, I am tired——–but I am also truly blessed.
I have Byron, who has , for 63 years , been the wind beneath my wings in more ways than I can count. We have two children who chose their true loves wisely, brought respect to their chosen professions, and love their mama through the good times and the bad. We have six grands ( and one newborn ” great ” ) who have brought us nothing but pride and pleasure. I have dear friends, from birth through this aging————-and we have Gracie, who is the icing on the cake !
TIRED ???? Yes, I’m tired of the negativity, the angst, the hostility, and the nastiness. But my glass is generally half-full, and for that, I’m grateful.
Just a down moment……………
You nailed it! Words written from the heart that are so prevalent in the minds of a lot of others! I often ponder how our amazing world evolved so quickly into its present state—ever thankful for bountiful blessings while at the same time perplexed by thoughts and actions of those that cross our paths…♥️
Thank you. And I’m with you 100% that at my personal level, the blessings overflow———but , out there in the real world, it’s a mess !!! If you are so inclined, and you have friends who may have the same concerns, would you consider sharing /
I sooooo agree with almost all!!!
Thanks ! Just think the world is pretty rugged right now.
I agree with everything you wrote.
Thank you so much. I value your opinion.
Lots of words wisdom and of truth in this one. We are living in some crazy times and you nailed it. In the mist of it all, as you so beautifully said, we are blessed beyond measure. Love you, mean it!
Your comments mean more than you’ll ever know ! Thank you for all these years of camaraderie and friendship. Love you back………
I tried to find something to disagree with, but I didn’t. Regardless of all the bad out there blessings still abound.
I always love a Devil’s Advocate, but appreciate the fact that it didn’t work this time ! Thanks for responding and thanks for all these years of friendship.
In saying all that, I still hear that my glass is half-full coming through.
Thank you——–for reading and commenting.
And, indeed, my little world has been, and is, a blessing ( at least so far ; never take anything for granted, though ! ) . It’s the world at large that concerns me. We have developed a culture nationwide that seems to say, ” My way or no way “. Scary when agreeing to disagree but reaching consensus seems so sensible. Again, thank you——-and you are doing your part in rearing Addison to be a caring and productive young lady.
