Seeking Shelter

Image
Our world is going backwards. The shelters we built for other problems can help.   Global warming, the pandemic and war have caused us to seek shelter. The shelters were not built for our current problems. They are effective, but they don’t solve our problems.  How long can we celebrate? The significant events should be celebrated for more than a day. My milestone birthday is celebrated for numerous days. Each day allows memories that shouldn’t be forgotten.  Back to work.

We won’t make this mistake on our podcast. We need to listen and respect our elders.  Our elders demand our attention while they are still alive. I’m not dead yet! Technology has created FOMO. How we accept and deal with this reality can be overcome. Start with not checking your Facebook feed. Nobody had as good of a life as Facebook depicts.  My brain spins like a Ferris Wheel. I need to take a deep breath and ask it to slowdown. The mind has its own speed. We need to accept this speed and ask it to slowdown. Our elders live at a slower pace.  So should we… The reason we enjoy certain people is an intangible. That quality exists but it is unique. Good friends have this but putting your finger on the specific is challenging. Good people have an intangible glow.  Don’t ...
