I have been in a reflective mood for a while now. I am not sure what's going on, but I will just ride it through.
This latest bit about terrorists and airplanes has really shaken me. Not that I plan to go anywhere soon, but the idea that I can't take a bottle of water or make up is scary. Especially, the make up part--maybe they will let women keep their eye brow pencils. If my mom where still with us, she would be calling at all hours to make sure that I was not going to Bermuda or some place (smile) She would also tell me about "Judgment Day". I don't know about that, but it seems to be someone's judgment day. Very unsettling. If I had cable or whatever, I guess I would watch the news about terrorists on 140 channels, instead of just a few.
I am in the process of getting rid of a lot of stuff. An old toaster oven, some outdated and broken computers/printers, etc. And finally, I am tossing those electric cords and goodness knows what else. I have a habit of getting rid of a piece of equipment but keeping the cord. Oh well, by Monday this stuff is gone. (LOL)
Hope to take some R&R soon. R&R??, What? Oh I can hear you guys, wondering out loud why I would need this, I am retired, right? Well, my days are no longer 9 to 5 and a few weekends; they are now 6:00a (sometimes 5:30a) until 9p or so and most weekends. What are you gonna do? Still I do love working from home. Now when it rains, I am out because I want to be. I have been retired for over a year, but this (2006) is my spirit-wise productive year.
I am been reviewing the horoscope (again) I had done 25 years ago. Although I did not want to accept much of what I saw early on, it was on target then and it is now. One of the things is said in many ways was that whatever money I received, I would have to earn it myself. Unfortunately, truer words were never written (laughing) There is also something about me 'marching to a different drummer', when I first read that I was somewhat offended and did not accept it, because no one follows orders or stays inside the lines, like I can and always do. So I did what so many horoscope readers do, accept only the things you like, and consider the other stuff bogus (smiling) Through the years, I have realized that although I do stay inside the lines, absolutely no one can make me paint with colors I don't like. ;-) I guess a mother really does know her child. (smiling)
