Into July

 My brother's wife died at the end of May.

That is a blunt reminder that we are all immortal.

When I was a child I frequently confused "immoral" and "immortal."

Go figure.

I also confused "brought" and "bought."

Maybe this was a mental block.

I Am Here And I Will Live....

 I possess a certain amount of survivor guilt.

Why am I here when so many others have died????

I am an atheist; I leaned towards the agnostic side for several years then my 2010 cancer diagnosis at age forty-four tipped the balance for me.

As a result, following my 2018 stroke there was nobody to receive my anger.

I am firm in my belief that there are no deities!

The above is not anything to upset over.

It merely is  REALITY!

I don't always relish hiding my atheism.

I have accepted that it is one of the requirement toward harmonious relationships with other homo sapiens.

Tbere are days when I fervently wish I were not a member of the said species.

However unlike to protagonist of Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis" I never change overnight.....

A Death In The Family....

 ...Too soon....too soon!

It Is May!

 Is the entire month one gorgeous holiday?

Does every maiden wish that her lad would be a cad?

Six Months From Today I Will Achieve My Sixtieth Birthday.....

 The Big Six Oh!

"March 11, 2020. The Day EVERYTHING Changed!" 😮😢🙂

 

As I Continue To "Blow Through" Life....

I want to be more understanding.

I want to attempt to look at issues through others' eyes prior to passing judgment.

I want to be as agreeable and amiable as possible, even when dealing with someone I dislike.

I want to be industrious and plan the best possible use of resources.
