I could start with Trump this morning, actually I could start with him every morning. there is not a single word that comes out of his mouth that isn’t stupidity personified. I have lambasted him enough though so lets discuss something else.
Have you given any thought to the things you most want to do when this lockdown eventually loosens? Do you think our lives have changed forever? What have you missed most?
There are the obvious choices and we all know what they are. What guilty pleasure have you been unable to do?
I confess yesterday evening and for the first time I started to get pissed off with the whole thing. I’m fine this morning. Normally I’m reasonably philosophical about what life throws at us but even I get fed up now and then. Most people that I have spoken with or heard from seem to be stoically enduring.
Think of the money you’ve saved, petrol and other sundries items under normal circumstances you would buy. I appreciate that there are those who are suffering great hardship.
I have this recurring fantasy (like so many) of winning big on the EuroMillions and then using the money to help others. There is little I want or need these days. I am not suggesting for one moment I would not enjoy the money for ourselves but I have always thought large fortunes should be put to use for others. Call it guilt, call it altruism, philanthropy or any other appropriate word but what other use is there? Well that’s a fantasy and it’s easy to write what you would do, the real test would be if it happened.
It’s good to be happy and I’m lucky most of the time I am. I often say to my Wendy that I struggle to understand those who suffer from depression and low self-esteem because I can’t wrap my head around why you would feel that way but only because apart form a brief hour here and there I never have? Please do not misunderstand I get it and we are all different. Wendy would not mind me saying that she has fought and still fights her demons on a daily basis. she has fought depression and the physical debilitation of fibromyalgia. I admire her strength and the courage it takes to get through each day.
I have had my “problems” over the years nearly died a couple of times but somehow I’m able to cope and put it behind me and it seems to have little lasting affect. Perhaps I’m just senseless!
We all have our skeletons and demons who tap us on the shoulder now and then. The trick is how we deal with them!
Stay well
