It has been more than a week since I last wrote something. Within that week, many things have happened...the good, the bad & the downright ugly.
When the body is weak, it is easy to catch all kinds of pesky bugs in the air. But combined with a 'weak mind', the road to recovery seem to take forever. It is a vicious cycle...you are already down physically, and being mentally down does you no good.
Yes, the roller coaster ride is getting wilder and exciting...and even before I can catch my breath and find my sense of balance, I am being thrown up in the wind and hurtling down to earth.
I thought I had a high level of tolerance...but as age catches up with me, the maxim 'live and let live' gets harder to abide.
Why should I close my eyes and delude myself; when I see that things are not done right?
Why should I comprise my own values...even if they are 'so old-fashioned'?
Why should I pander to another person's whims and fancies?
One of the biggest question I have yet to answer is...whether or not I should continue with the things I do. Because if the answer is no...I may then question if what I have done for the past 20 years is right...or the correct thing to do...and that, is very, very scary.
Live, and let live...if only.
I will just hang on to this well-known poem as I ponder over things.
"God, give us grace to accept with SERENITY
the things that cannot be changed,
COURAGE to change the things which should be changed,
and the WISDOM to distinguish the one from the other.
