POST #477
Perhaps it's just a natural part of the human condition, the idea of the good old days. Ah, the good old days.
Like when I could visit Mary and Dora-dog.
Like when I could travel without any restrictions or mandates.
Like when I could cross a border.
Like when I didn't have to wear a mask in order to shop for food, so that I can continue to live.
Like when I had a full house sit calendar booked months in advance.
Like when ...
I could go on, but you get my drift.
This is the state of the world in late 2021. I don't like it one bit, but unfortunately this is how things are at the present time.
What to do?
Do what I try to do each and every day. That is, live with gratitude and acceptance, which has become much more of a challenge lately.
Yes, the good old days.
I feel that at some point in the not too distant future, we are going to look back at what is currently happening in our world, and say to ourselves, "Yes, in late 2021, those certainly were the good old days."
I would love to be wrong.
grateful for every breath,
Paul
