You'd think with Edie finally at home, my cold just about done with, and riding my bike for the first time in a week yesterday, I'd be feeling a lot better now, but I'm not.
Maybe the last week, without much to occupy my mind, I had way too much time on my hands to dwell on the future.
Part of the problems is, despite continued stable blood counts, and feeling mostly fine now, getting sick last week made me start to wonder, even more so, how much longer I can maintain this facade.
Then there's the economy. Even though my savings hasn't been effected nearly as much as many others in the US, and the rest of the world, I still can't help but worry. Remember we all live on the same planet, and what effects one of us, has at least an indirect (if not direct) effect on everyone else.
And of course there are the elections. What direction will the electorate take us this time? Are we to continue a policy of dividing the country between red states and blue states, and the I've got mine, so who cares about anyone else philosophy?
Or will we move away from the divisive policies of the past 8 years, and chart a new course?
After this election is over, and no matter who is elected president, I just hope we at last take a good hard look at what we want this country to represent, and decide what is best for everyone in the US (and the world), not just what is in our own self interest.
Ok, that made me feel a lot better now, plus I just checked out Russ Roca's website, and I got the "cover" in his latest post. Yep, that's me on the bike. I also lifted this photo from Russ's blog.
I never knew I was so photogenic. :)
