Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness??
Happy Mother’s Day to all of the mothers of the world. What we have gone through both physically and mentally to get where we are today, fabulous mothers!!! My hat off to all of you.
I myself have 3 terrific kids, one married and the other two pretty staunchly against it. No grandkids on the horizon, just dogs, fish, snakes and cats. That’s all cool with me, less to tie me down when the urge to just take off comes along.
What about the pursuit of happiness? Where did we ever get the notion that we are supposed to be happy all the time? I am a bit sad and melancholy this Sunday morning, and don’t see an end in sight today. I’m going to share some good times with 2 of my kids for Mother’s day and that will be happy, but underlying is still my blue mood. We’ll see if it can be lifted with my travel coming up this week. I’m flying to Milwaukee to hang out with my boyfriend. Now, why does that word seem silly at my age (55)? I don’t know. But, I will see one of my sisters while I’m there too. I am the direct cause of my funkess, but someone else has to be the resolution of it and that bugs me. I want to be responsible for myself, but somehow, we always seem to be connected to other people and they impact our lives a lot. So, the pursuit of happiness is very complicated at times and not all that happy!!
I hope that my ramblings are cathargic for me, and don’t bore everyone to death, that is if anyone even reads this stuff!! What am I, self-important or something? Nah, I just like to talk and living alone keeps me from being able to do that regularly! So, I have started to write.
tata for today
