If I have been radio-silent for a while, it was with good reason; this retirement thing was not as easy to adjust to as I originally thought. Hey, I am a tumbleweed…I roll and rumble about easily – “Change” is my middle name. But you see…I am married to a goat; albeit a sure-footed goat but an old billy bucker just the same. However, I have single-handedly restored order in our kingdom and now this fairy goddess can go back to doing what is important to her soul.
I have been thinking a lot during these extended days of the pandemic. There is so much political mud being slung in both directions, it is hard to stay clean and unaffected. I still do not understand why some insist the effects of a world-wide pandemic are the fault of one human being or one administration just because of their political affiliation. We are all in this together; our nation is facing something of the likes that we have never seen before. Taking it day by day and weighing each action against the result is a formula I think most any prudent person would take – Democrat or Republican. I think it would help our nation if the criticism died down a bit.
With that being said, I can’t help but thinking we, as individuals, are all just one small adjustment away from making our lives work. The measures that we must now take to remain connected to each other dominate our process, and that is a good thing. The slow draw has us all becoming more unhurried, and I think that is a phenomenal place from which to rise. In my own self-examination, I am reaching for that one small adjustment. I find I am inhaling more of the abundance I am promised and exhaling my appreciation!
You see, I want to ensure that I make it to the other side when this whole life is over. I, for one, am not taking any chances!
