I created this blog as a way to express myself and what I have discovered is that it’s hard to find words and put them down to describe exactly how I feel.
These are the things that roll through my head on any given day; my 15 year old dog and her failing health but not failing so fast or consistently that I know what to do, turning 55 this year is weird and I don’t know what to do with it, retirement is not that far off and I am actually afraid if I am ready for it after years of struggling from paycheque to paycheque, Russia invades Ukraine and the world is really good with tut tutting Russia but nothing is being done to provide help to actually change the outcome I think it is just prolonging it, SCOTUS, the US as a whole and it’s love of populism, populism coming to Canada, my health and that’s just what is there right now.
I am not writing this for sympathy but looking for order, commonalities that maybe run through these things so I can try to understand it. I think the thing that bothers me about all of this is the fact none of it is under my control. Sure there are things I can do to try and help by donating, volunteering, giving the dog what she needs right now in the moment, planning for retirement as best I can, making changes to my life to improve my overall health, voting and a myriad of other things, but on the larger scale things we need decision makers to make the move, make the right decision and be bold and I just don’t have faith that happens anymore.
Get Off My Lawn. Please.
