Ponder Pages

I know the few of you who have followed me were beginning to wonder what happened to me. I've just not been in the mood to do much posting. Not to say I haven't had anything to say, I have. I've just not put it here. But I do think it's time to start up again. Anyway, I'm here now. I would like to talk about freedom.   Or I should say the lack of it.  For being a country that say it's the home of the free, it's not a very free one.  I thought that there was suppose to be a separation between church and state.  I thought peoples bodies were their own.  But I guess that maybe I should stop thinking and just obey. Last night before I tried to drop off to sleep my mind did it's best to stop that from happening. The recent ruling from the supreme court really ticked me off. How did we get here? How did we let those kind of people tell us what we can and can't do with our own body? Maybe we should also ban that little blue pill to even it out. If women can...

It's the start of a new year. The last two were not good for most anyone. Now we all know what happened so I don't think I have to repeat any of it, do I? I know I didn't post much last year. I thought about it often but I'm a huge procrastinator. That and I work a lot. So most days when I get home my mind and my body says, "It's time to think of nothing else. Sat down and relax." I can post some weekends if I really want to. But, unfortunately I end up working on Saturdays. So the one day I get off I have too many other things to do.  So we will see if I can be more creative this year. Three things that are happening this year are: The first thing, the husband is going to have corporal tunnel surgery. That happens this month. In February my daughter will give birth to our second granddaughter.  In March the husband plans on retiring from his job. Those are the main events that I know are happening. The rest is up in the air. As for things I want to happen...

I know it's been a while since I've written anything. I just didn't know what I could add to things that wasn't already being said.  The question that is often on my mind is: How did we get here? Then I realized it's because we are living in the time of Stupid. I like to say, imagine life is a bus. Standing on the side of the road is Common Sense. The bus is being driven very fast by Stupid. Stupid will not stop the bus and let Common Sense on because if he does then Common Sense will take over and the bus will slow down.  Stupid is not about to give up the controls.  Others who are on the bus right now are lazy, con men, egomaniacs, whinners, greed, manipulators, the very selfish, and that's just the ones in the front of the bus. Stupid driving the bus didn't just happen all of a sudden. There was a time when Common Sense was driving some of the time. They would take turns. But then there came a time when Stupid found a way to get Common Sense off the bus c...

Doubt: to waver in opinion: to suspect; to distrust; to question: uncertainty; question; perplexity. This is the definition from the New Handy Webster Dictionary copyright 1941 This is how we are living today. In a constant state of doubt. And it is getting worse everyday. Thanks to certain people always saying everything is fake, we have to hope for a better future. I for one am tired of the finger pointing and the blame game. Will it ever end? I'm trying to not let it be the focus of my day to day life but they make it really hard.  When you have doubt you have fear.  I keep trying to find better things to post but these issues always seem to take center stage.  I need some ideas to follow. I could try again to write a short story from time to time. I'm always thinking of ideas when I'm at work. But I don't have a chance to write there. And when I get home my focus is not there. I have house things to do and a dog to entertain. Or is it be entertained by the dog?  ...

Hello all! I hope this post finds you all well. I'm fine.  A lot has been going on in the world or should I say just our country. Here is is something that has been rolling around in my brain. about the recent events. Ready? Thanks to Mr. Dweeb (formally known as President), the country is on the biggest edge it's ever been on. At least in my lifetime. Will we be able to overcome the mess he has left in his wake or will we be forever dealing with the fallout? I want to say, we will get past this but it's going to be a very hard long road. He has sown so much doubt in everyone's minds it's going to be the hardest on his supporters or maybe they are followers. Not sure what to call them.  What is making this even harder is the pandemic. Between just these two things, life as we have known it will never really be the same again. But to make this problem even bigger, Mother Nature is making herself known also.  So I guess we are living in a trifecta kind of time. Whatev...

Here's to hoping that 2021 will improve things that we have had to deal with in 2020. I know that the things we have had to deal with not magically disappear. It will take time for the affects to ease up. Patients will be a very hard thing to have. We are very impatient beings. Change will take time. The thing I want to change right away is, NO MORE MASKS!!! This is the first thing to ponder for this year. When will be able to stop masking up every time we go out? The second thing to ponder is: Will President Dweeb step down? Or will he have to be dragged out of office kicking and screaming? Can he be the bigger man or I should say will he become mature and step aside? Or does he have a nasty surprise for the American people that will forever change us? Could we become controlled by another country? Or are we already controlled by another country? Did he have a deal with Putin that would make him president for life?  Lets see what should be the third thing we should ponder this yea...

I just wanted to drop a little Christmas note to you all. I hope to find myself dropping by more often in the new year. Till next time . Keep on pondering the pondering possibilities.
