STOP!!!

My Beautiful Wife
 

Today is 1 Mar 2015!!!    Stop and think about that.             I mean yesterday was Christmas and the day before that I was 16 listening to my Mother say, "Just wait kid, you'll find out when you're older".  We spend so much of our lives thinking about the next big thing.  Saying I can't wait till Christmas or Summer break.  Waiting for lunch time, For God's Sake!!! 

Take the time people, live in the moment and not the moment to come.  Stop wishing your life away.  A friend of mine  Brother of mine once gave me a little poem.  (You know who you are, you piece of shit)  It was titled Happiness is a Journey, Not a Destination, I didn't pay much attention to it then.  Just like I didn't pay much attention to the wisdom of my Mother or any other elder that tried to steer a young mind in the right direction.

I've been a little ill lately.  I've have had as many as six doctor appointments in one week.  I was sitting on the couch the other day and looked at my wife and said, "you know what baby, it's not that bad, we still have a pretty good life".  We have food, don't go hungry.  We have clean cloths, have a roof and four walls.  Truth is, I married up.  She doesn't have any money but works her ass off every day to support my ass.  She puts up with way to much of my BullShit, some of it my fault, some of it not.  I'll lie and say most of it not.

So as I sit here in my "White" privilege.  Sit here in my "Male" privilege.  Sit here in my "Vet" status privilege.  Waiting for the government to decide if I deserve the forty cents a day that disability will afford me, I'm crammed in a 500 sq ft apartment waiting for the next few hours to pass so I can go out and start my car so the nine year old battery won't die because of the cold.  And Oh Yea, the drivers door won't open, and a long list of other complaints, I feel good about the future.  Why would I not?  I have every thing that I need and a beautiful wife to share my trials, tribulations, and wonderful moments of life.  JUST STOP.  WHEN LIFE HAPPENS, THINK OF SOMWTHING THAT MAKES YOU LAUGH!!!   CARPE DIEM....

BTW Jo, Halloween isn't until October.
