At least in the Valley, this week has again passed virtually unnoticed... except the continued onslaught of immigration and the mindless debate over the COVID Vaccination... as to whether or not our Federal Government should mandate or not mandate getting the vaccine... it bothers me and it should bother you that our Federal Government wants to TELL US how to make our own medical decisions.I got the COVID Moderna Vaccine because I wanted to get the vaccine, not because I was being forced to get it by our Federal Government. Similarly, I DO NOT have to inform my employee of any of my medical conditions, if I do not want to, and there is not anything that any employers can do about it.
DON'T LET OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TAKE OUR RIGHTS AWAY... WHICH IS WHAT OUR LIBERAL GOVERNMENT CURRENTLY WANTS TO DO...
Weeks in the Valley are the best ever... as the young female says about the ARK commercial... and, they are the best ever because I no longer have to work unless I want to. I no longer have to kiss my supervisor's ass or violate my integrity because management wants to withhold information from the consumer. I no longer have to worry about GREED or the BOTTOM LINE even though I am frugal with my money.
I don't blame people who are of retirement age, not to want to stop working, especially since they have nothing else to do... nor do I blame them for wanting to generate more revenue... as that is their right... it is just that I no longer have that desire or motivation; instead, I am spending all my time doing exactly what it is that I want to do and that is WRITE Creativity... and, I want to exercise that right whether or not people want to read what I have to say.
I stopped drinking alcohol years ago.
I stopped smoking cigarettes years ago.
I stopped constantly worrying years ago.
I started exercising regularly years ago.
I started eating healthy years ago.
I finally grew up years ago... and, when I did, I realized that the influences of society were designed to work against people like me who were not motivated by money or climbing up the corporate ladder or becoming incredibly wealthy.
Of course one has to earn enough money to survive and to pay one's bills... but, one's bills do not have to be as high as they currently are. One can choose to live more simply... in not such a large house... drive not such an expensive or brand new vehicle. Not dress in all the latest styles and fashions or stray overnight in the most expensive hotel.
My lifestyle is simple and yet it is still complete. I want for nothing except mild weather temperatures and sunshine. I have one bedroom in my house only as large as I need to sleep at night. I have an office that I share with clothes and cats. My living room is just large enough to contain two 3 people couches and a large flat screen and there is no wall between it and the kitchen that is big enough for two people to do their own thing.
We have garages for our two vehicles and a deck with a gazebo and an above ground pool along with a hot tub for our warm weather entertainment.
And, we constantly have and/or experience best days ever here...
BTW, my pool and hot tub are 14 years old and were maintained properly in order for them to last that long.
I have minimal desires to go out to eat or to drive or fly somewhere for a week long vacation. Home is where I am these days for as long as that lasts and my money supply is sufficient to enable me to do that for another two decades or more. At my age, two decades or more is interesting speculation.
Technology impacts me very little and there is no reason why it should. My vehicle is gasoline powered and I will invest in an electric vehicle when I am forced to and not before. I an not interested in hunting for charging station and finding them all occupied. And, by that time, it will be more convenient to order goods and services online and not drive anywhere at all.
ONLINE SHOPPING IS THE BEST DAY EVER...
