- A good friend of mine has lost his son to a drug overdose.
- My kitchen sink is stopped up and it’s annoying to do dishes in the bathtub while we wait on the maintenance man.
- I am at a current wall in the search for my oldest daughter, so I am rethinking that for the best angles.
- I am having delays with my government help concerning my health issues.
- I stretch daily which means I am in pain nightly.
It’s the waiting that is the biggest burden. I know and completely understand that I can not solve my problems in a day. I know and I understand that I can not solve the world’s problems at all. Still I look at these things and study and try to understand.
Watching or reading only gives me two options. I either learn about the problems, and face them or I avoid the problems and learn nothing. I have taken what actions I can to work on my problems and at this moment I am forced to watch for openings where I can act again. While I wait I feel that my time is best served to look at the world around me. My only other option is to hide within either fantasy or comedy. I have learned how to moderate my addictions to alcohol. I have learned to shut-down my smoking. I can not however seem to shake my addiction to information. I used to spend an easy 12 hours in front of this computer playing games, but now I spend almost my entire time searching down information. I used to spend my entire day watching “Comedy Central” or the “Sci-Fi Network”, but now I wake up early so that I can check the headlines to see what I missed over night.
