Tiptoeing through something

I am beginning to think I have stuck around too long.  Truly.

I am not sure if I can stay calm, cool and collected for another two years.  Despite how effortless it may seem at times, it really does take a lot of work.

My renowned patience wears a bit thinner with each passing day.

My understanding of things, if it in fact it ever existed, fades a bit each day.

I don't get it anymore.  I don't get people anymore.  I really don't.

I find myself more and more contemplating the saying "losing faith in humanity, one person at a time".

What keeps me going I suppose is nonetheless some positive faith.  Despite the things that happen all too often that make this one shake his head, everyone so often you see or hear or read about something that lifts the spirit, that renews hope, that keeps the fire burning.

There is faith and also time.  Time can truly be one's ally.  For me it is right now, and takes the form of a two year calendar.  Everyone day means another "X".

Enough of that.  What I really need to do is take a week or so off from reading or watching anything.  I need to find that level of bliss that seems to be enjoyed so often by too many.

Observation of the day:  Ever notice when you dig a hole and then have to fill it in, there isn't enough dirt left over to quite get the job done?

Second observation of the day (used before I know):  Why do they call it "common sense" when it seems it is so uncommon?

Third observation of the day (stolen from J.P. Morgan and paraphrased):  People usually have two reasons for doing anything; a good reason and the real reason.

If you are wondering what the heck today's post is all about, it is called avoidance.  Either that or the closest thing to self-control I can muster today.  You may recall prior tidbits about reading something once, twice and three times before hitting the publish button.  Well that has happened for several draft posts written between last night and this morning.

Should have gone out and bought some fried chicken last night, or perhaps a pizza.  Might have given me a calmer perspective.  

Okay, last observation/words for the day: "Only fools rush rush in where angels fear to tread".

Enjoy your weekend.  Be safe.
