Restively Rambling...

November is almost over...
Good grief... there's days I feel like I am hurtling towards oblivion...
And I don't mind a bit!

This hasn't been a good year for news.

I have people all around me diagnosed with terminal cancer.
People I love.
People who are loved by people I love.

And the world economy is swirling round the bowl...

Big things happening...

BIG
things.

Stamps won the Gray Cup....woot woot...
Obama won the White House....
Conservatives...win another minority in Canada...sigh

The wars.......deeper sigh...

Gas prices are down.
Grocery prices way up.

My youngest son got offered all manner of drugs at the local school ground just last week...by kids barely older than he.

Trying to find purchase on the slippery slope of life these days is getting particularly difficult.

Fear is rampant.
Ignorance is bliss.
Everyone is looking for a savior... not for their souls...
But for their STUFF...
We are desperate to preserve our way of life... our entitled...existence.
Now and even far into our perceived futures.

Did you ever wonder what it will really take for us to be driven back into community?
Where neighbors take care of neighbors.
People share...
Burdens and benefits.
We're so busy taking care of business and protecting our right to HAVE what we want and keep what we HAVE...
We're losing it all.

There's lots to think about now-a-days...
Cynicism wars with Hope...
Opinions are at a premium..
Emotions are running high...

Feelings can't be helped...but what I think/believe about what I feel can change how I behave.

Change
How
I
Behave.

It's a start.
