Boy, it has been some time since I last posted on my blog. Now that taxes are done and I am caught up on some other pressing matters I may have time to write more.
My Mom had open heart surgery about 3 weeks ago which has also slowed me down (it slowed Mom down even more). It’s very hard on someone in their 80’s to quickly recover from such a surgery. Doctors know how to repair the heart. It’s the person’s body that has a hard time with the recovery.
In my Mom’s mind she thinks she should be able to get up and move around quickly and her body says “Oh no you can’t.”
As I see it people have two or perhaps three choices:
1. They can live a healthy life so that when they become old their body will be able to handle challenges.
2. They can live recklessly and hope that modern medicine and time can heal whatever goes wrong with their bodies.
3. They can plan on not living into old age and not have to deal with the challenges of growing old.
I am not saying that Mom did not take care of herself, because she did. She just grew up in a time in history when there were many challenges, like the first Great Depression and World War II. Not as much was known about staying in shape and good healthly living.
However, for right now we, the USA, have something far more important to think about and take action on. Our Constitution, which has kept us FREE for over 230 years, is in danger of being run through the chipper.
I receive a lot of emails from people who are concerned about how our current Federal government is being run. Whether you believe what Congress and the president are doing or not, you must read both sides of the happenings that are taking place.
As an example I just read an article by Michael Connelly, Ret. Constitutional Attorney regarding the recently Health Care bill that was passed. According to him much of what is in the bill is Unconstitutional. You can visit Snopes at http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/connelly.asp to read the full story.
If you pretend to be like the Ostrich and bury your head in the sand when danger or potential danger is nearby then don’t be alarmed about what may happen when the November elections approach this year.
