How Do You Take It?

Minute by minute

Hour by hour

Day by day

Week by week

Month by month

Year by year

Decade by decade

Our perception, I am told, changes with age, experiences, influences on and by others, as well as our financial situation...

For me...  I take it day by day...  as the AA programs suggests and one thing is for sure and that is that you never look back...  looking forward is risky unless you are really isolated...  so logically that just leaves us with one day at a time.

I am just finishing up my 14 year of being treated for cancer and the last half of those years, I received treatment for two cancers simultaneously.  Yet, I do no live under the fear of becoming terminal although I am sure that is a possibility and I am not sure how I would initially feel if my Oncologist were to tell me something like that...

But age changes one's outlook on life even if you are perfectly healthy as priorities change and things that were once important don't seem so important anymore.  And, the reverse is true as well...  things that were once not important now take on at least the appearance of being important.

If there is something over which I have NO CONTROL or very little control, then I simply do not worry about it...  then only issue that I can really control are my own choices and thoughts and actions...  and quite possibly reactions.

However, I find myself becoming more impatient as the years pass and I really get angry at INCOMPETENCE and believe me there is a lot of that in our society these days.

The younger generation no longer wants to learn or retain any information and wants everything handed to them on a silver platter and not gold because some one on TV told them that silver was in short supply.

How many push mowers do you see being used to cut grass these days?

I guess these people are getting prepared to have their jobs replaced by robots so they are practicing to become lazy.

I betcha you don't even care or have never thought about how you take life...  you just exist...  and go through your routines without even thinking...  letting your phone do all the thinking for you.
