A Most Ambitious DIY Project –
A futile attempt. Never had a chance. My favorite part was standing on the corner handing out my 16 page pamphlet with my position on the issues. It was called a comic book but I got a chance to talk to a lot of interesting people. Just getting my name on the ballot was a major accomplishment. Preparing the ‘comic book’ and mailing it out was fun.
A Ban –
A permanent ban on the word ban. Think about free speech. Think about who decides what to ban. Only the lie needs protection. Truth will prevail because somehow it makes sense. Take time to think. And that’s the truth.
A Challenged Person –
A senior problem. Taxes. Doctor. Driving. Reunion. Everything is a challenge when you are over 80. The biggest one will most likely be some kind of change I will face in the next six months. Can we go six months without a change? How about a month?
A Need of Advice –
A time to listen and think. It gets better. Appreciate who you are, what you have, and what you can be. Ask questions. It is a time to learn which is fun. Read as much as you can. Forget everything else, just read.
A Lack of Learning –
A time to think. Not having something to think about is boring. Learning is happiness. Hated studying. Loved trying to solve a problem. Looking for the answer was always exciting. You have to believe there is an answer.
A Reason To Believe –
A necessary gift. The best one. Can I lose it? I don’t think so but I am told it is possible. Appreciation is important. I believe you won’t lose what is appreciated. Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened to you.
A Savings Account –
A teenager who saved. Two older brothers who didn’t and would have to borrow from me about early spring. My approach to budgeting is very simple, just save as much as you can. Borrowed only for school, car, and home. Others would have to borrow from me.
A Love Of Country –
A third place. Right after God and family. “Render unto Caesar...” Your second obligation, right after God is your family which needs a father and a mother to protect the child. You can’t trust the village or Marx. If you are not a patriot, you are a wannabe immigrant who has given up.
A Love Of Neighbor –
A gift of Charity is required, I think. It is a test you know you are going to unintentionally fail. You can’t love whom you can’t forgive which is required to be forgiven, I think. You can always ask for the gift of Charity.
A Title –
A biography. Spent more time thinking than doing. Maybe should have spent more time listening. Asking questions. Looking for answers. Always believed there were answers. You just had to look for them. Found history late in life. The missing link. Found my job. I think.
