Slip Slidin' Away...
Earlier this week I saw Paul Simon on a late-night television show and much to my surprise he performed one of his older songs. I was expecting something new. If memory serves me well, he sang “Slip Slidin’ Away”. Looking back, it seems appropriate because it perfectly describes how this week has felt so far. Last week when I decided to start writing again, I was hoping to write something every day. If you are paying attention, you can see that I haven’t written anything since last Sunday. Today is Thursday.
On Mother’s Day my family gathered at my son’s home for a very nice dinner. On a side note, regarding food in general, I am a little upset with myself. I have diabetes but generally I keep it under control. After a couple of visits to my doctor it’s apparent that I’ve fallen off the wagon. I have gained some weight and my A1C is higher than normal. I need to be more vigilant about what I eat. Goodbye ice cream and chocolate chip cookies!
On Monday I discovered a leaky pipe in my bathroom. This required a plumber installing a new pipe under my sink. Getting this repair scheduled and completed took most of Tuesday.
Wednesday was grocery shopping day. A few other errands were also included. I strived to buy healthier food and snacks. Grocery shopping is exhausting for me, and I am usually shot for the rest of the day whenever I do it.
I was looking forward to going to the cinema today with my wife and son to see the new Planet of the Apes movie. My son has been busy, so we’ve rescheduled this event several times. It looks like we will be rescheduling again because now my wife is sick, and I will be taking her to the doctor this afternoon. We’ve all been looking forward to this movie for quite a while. I have been a fan of the franchise since the 60′s when my stoner friends and I saw the first movie with Charlton Heston as “Taylor”. Those were the good old days.
It is challenging to live a quiet and peaceful life. All plans are subject to change without notice. Even my mood and abilities have been tested lately as I deal with some foot issues that can be painful. I thought I might have gout, but bloodwork indicates that I do not. This might sound strange but I am almost disappointed. At least gout would have explained some of my symptoms. If I do not have gout, what do I have? Arthritis? Who knows? One tends to acquire multiples aches and pains at my age, so the journey continues.
It’s time to breathe, ring my bell, and regain my inner peace. All daily challenges are part of life. There is never a time when life remains peaceful and calm all the time. Change is always happening. It can be annoying or challenging but you have to roll with it.
I need to be mindful of the moment which is currently peaceful.
OM!!!!!!!!!!!!
