Time marches on...

On the back burner is where I have stowed my emotional baggage for tonight.
And so onward I will go… to vent about more important matters…
Taking the high road in life, is also not for sissies, did I ever mention that?
I guess it all comes down to forgiveness of others and oneself, huh?

All those people who send those inspirational forwards to my email please forgive me for NOT passing them on!
You want to know why, I suspect, huh?
Well, those lovely warm fuzzy little ditties have caused many to send me back NOT such warm fuzzy comments, actually some people were annoyed, a few just were aggravated and even on occasion some were just plain nasty in their replies! Consequently I have lost some of my email pals, oh well, who said being un-censured is the American way?
I do on occasion admit to not having a proper editing device on my mouth therefore my brain or my writings…but I have been trying…really!

It’s odd how many of my so-called religious old buddies who even went to different sectarian religious schools and they ended up becoming Atheists?
I too have my own questions of not knowing who are there for us when we need or want that spiritual guidance, and so I have tagged-lined, myself, Agnostic, but in retrospect I do want to believe in something.
So I have taking that to believe in myself!
Perhaps the fifties were the age of Mom and Pop taking the kids to church, mosque, temple, and synagogue and making sure they received a proper religious education, but it seems to have backfired, huh?

A few very interesting friends of mine have found religion in new churches, which to be honest I don’t trust, since they seem to operate from strip malls and pop up whenever the wind changes, or as some do have amazingly enormous compounds that for the price of all your worldly possessions they promise that you will definitely go to heaven when you depart this level…just BELIEVE!
Am I too blasphemous my dear readership?
I sure hope not!
That would be too ungodly and not at all to able to be forgiven of me by you…huh?
Who said that people should forgive the bad behavior of one another, G-d?
Nah, other people, and what makes us so capable of being able to know that we have that power to exonerate others?
I thought that was whoever is up in those heavens job?
Therefore we are just here to cope and observe others and punish the ones who deviate too far from what is legal or in cases inappropriate behavior, correct?

Life is an interesting concept and this one your in is not a dress rehearsal folks!
But I am so sure you all do know that, right?
Let’s all take a deep breath and then do an exercise in self worth and think about the fact if you were to drop dead tomorrow who would show up?
If your answer is hundreds, that’s great, if your answer is more than a thousand that’s more power to you, wow and I am impressed! But if you can’t think of more than the fingers on your two hands or even one, then my friends you have a lot more work to do while you are here, and so do you know what I figured out for myself?
I figure I personally have a lot of work to do for at least the next few decades… bud dump bum. "And so can we talk?" Joan Rivers quote, PS Happy 77th Birthday Joan!
You see, I don’t want to be sued in this lifetime or any other, and so be back here tomorrow night same time and I will again divulge my unsolicited opinionated drivel for all the world to see!

Good night dear friends and count those blessings and we will too!
