Purpose...


Does one ever do anything not on purpose? Sure we are all guilty of making mistakes, by accident, and so no guilt should be involved, sounds convoluted to me too, not just to you? HA! But this ‘purpose’, as a reason, point, idea, principle, rationale, function, use, intention, intent, aim, object, objective, goal, target, end drive, determination……..whew, have to catch my breath, okay, now I can go on…resolution, resolve, persistence, perseverance, single-mindedness, tenacity is my real reason to go on by doing something, anything to fulfill that purpose, TA DA! As we all know that I have way too much time on my hands. So it’s fine that I try not to waste time with those appendages by them being idle. Although, most know that the devil has, on occasion, made a stop in my brain with my devious ways of thinking … but I used to be so nice! I even won an award for volunteer of the year, but that was twelve years ago… with a national organization. Life has taken a turn downward for me, and at first I was not that anxious about it since I had my buds around who would be available for keeping me distracted, but somehow when you diminish in abilities and become a burden not a help to others as you once were, some don’t know how to react and so they jump ship and go on without you! Or that is how I saw it. So many of my friendly-friends that needed me to help them and I would, have magically disappeared since I cannot be there for them in that capacity any longer. At least, in many cases, it does seem that way to me, which has caused me to, on certain days, weeks, or months use my option to vent my feelings about all that… and one of these so-called friends even accused me of having a chip on my shoulder, well some days I do, as they do too! Thank heaven for Hubby and number one son, because at times if it weren’t for them I would consider Skipper to be my only true friend. Over these last few years, I have been cautious with allowing people to get too close to me; not that they have sincerely tried. You see, once they know the true issues that I have to deal with they run away anyway, or so it does seem. And to think for over forty years on and off I worked as a volunteer with all ages and all ills. And no, I did not do it for any rewards in my future, I did it because I could and I wanted too! Moving on… Enough of that cry baby baloney… that’s not why you are here, is it? Why are you here? Don’t say anything, since I can’t hear you anyway, let me just bask in the warmth of that idea that you are. I love the fact that I seem to be getting back my many more followings and the more than ten countries a week reading this drivel that does give a gal a moment to pause and reflect with a thought of Geez, maybe I am not that boring after all, hmm? I sure hope not. How about that weather, oh I meant here in the US of A, we appear to be having an upside down thingy going on in the north and western parts of the country with cold where it should be hot and vice versa… but here in paradise AKA Florida, we are just a wee bit warmer than we have been in HISTORY! Yes, I did check it is January, not March, when these high eighties might be showing their Fahrenheit numbers to cause the rest of the country to be green with envy! No, even these balmy degrees are NOT our norm either and we have been breaking all records too. But our usual would be around mid-seventies with lows at night in the fifties, when we have been sixties at night and eighties during the day! So a ten numeric differential, and that is what makes us BEAUTIFUL! Being a ten has its rewards… more tourists, more traffic, more crowded restaurants, more crowded beaches, oh no! I just heard a cold front is coming through like tomorrow, so never mind…HA! On that last bit of lunacy note…scary, love to end on a high note…, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and kindly count all your blessings and share all of your overages with you know who and we will too! And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?!
