(no subject)
I have some decisions to make over the next couple of weeks. None of them are going to be fun but they need to be done. Right now my brain feels like it is spinning out of control. The only thing I am sure of right now is my family. Not one of my better mornings. I didn’t sleep well last night at all for a variety of reasons. So this blog might want to be skipped by those who enjoy happy blogging.
I was told once that life never throws more than you can really handle. The trick is that you don’t know what you can really handle. I don’t know if I believe that. I know people who have had a lot of merde toss at them all at once. Some made it through and others never made it past the pile. As I get older I find more people I have known over the years wistfully looking at the past with such intensity that they have seem to have forgotten the future. I have fond memories of my past. I have parts I wouldn’t want to ever relive too. I look to the past to help me with my future not wallow in it. There are some people I use to call friends that I meet up with and I have nothing really to say to them. My life and their have completely diverge. Then there are those few that have remained friends over the years that I see again and it is as if we had dinner together just the other day. I don’t regret my past nor do I live in it.
There seems to be a lot of news recently about alcohol on campus and binge drinking by college students. The only real piece of new information I heard was from a college administrator who said that it use to be the students who get to college and develop a drinking problem but now they are showing up with them from middle school and high school. I know that at my high school there were a group of kids that went out and got trashed on weekends. There was also a group of pot smokers that everyone knew about. But these groups were in the minority at the time. Now it seems that these kids are in the majority or the press makes it look so. I really can’t tell but I do know that colleges have had problems with alcohol when I was in college but it was kept quiet.
I am grateful for modern medicine.
