It feels like my good days returning. Hooray! So many little things have been nagging at me lately; and I have felt less tolerant than I usually am. And that's not my nature. I have all of these "to do" things in my head and feel a little overwhelmed. One of the most important things is that I want to move and I am finding that very difficult to do, on many levels. When I was away I thought that I had found the perfect building; it was near the water, it had good security plus it had a gym and was the right price. I can't believe that it was near the water, I could walk to all of the spots I love. Oh whine, groan. I wanted an apartment there so much. It turns out that it was one of those places that must have a certain number of upper, middle, and low income families. I looked at the income requirements and found that I did not fit it anywhere on the percentage chart. Very disheartening and disappointing. Am I repeating myself here, have I said this before Bloggie?? Being so-called middle class does have it's drawbacks. My senior has been nagging me about moving into her "adult/senior" building. I never answer her. This week she mentioned it again. But this time she said, "Even if you wanted to, you have too much don't you?" She knew the answer, even as she asked the question.
Yesterday in the Star Ledger there were a couple of paragraphs about the widening gap between rich and poor. No one ever talks about the middle class problem of too much money or too little money; too many or too few assets to qualify to a number of goodies. When I went to Jaimaca many years ago, one of the things I was told was that the country no middle class--just rich people and poor people. Here, we sort of fall between the entitlement cracks.
But you know, as I sit in front of my window looking towards the sun, everything feels right with the world.
