It's time for another edition of "If I could" There may
be a few repeats from the last edition but then again it's the
same life so that's to be expected. Besides I don't feel up to
searching back to check what I posted so long ago so you'll
just have to bear with me.
If I could.... I would truly like to set down with a few of my
close friends and have them explain to me their
views on the direction this nation is going. Mostly
explain the acceptance of the hate and division
that has become an everyday occurrence. I'm not
talking political policy. I'm talking simply being
OK with the constant badgering and name calling
outright lying and badgering. It's getting to the point
that I almost don't want to participate in a society like
this. I see now why hermits are the way they are....
If I could... I would like to go back to my younger days and change
a few things. Not change the results per say. I am
satisfied with the way my life evolved being blessed
with a great family and fond memories. However I do
wish I had taken greater advantage of past relationships
and friendships. So many things I look back on and wish
I had done and said. Like I say I wouldn't change the
outcome but it sure would make for some great memories
here in the latter part of life. And after all sometimes
memories are the best part of getting older. Sadly some
friends are no longer with us and memories are all we will
ever have. But for others there is still hope of chance meetings
and adding to the memories...though it be slim.............
If I could.... On a lighter note..If I could I would love to have the means
to start a rescue for shelter dogs. Not a caged up jail but a
multi acre free range safe haven for abandoned and neglected
dogs to live in peace with the freedom to roam. Silly I know
but hey.. everybody needs a crazy dream.....
If I could.... Last but not least...Even more silly ..If I could I would love to
take a year off from life. Strange as it sounds I find myself
longing for solitude and freedom that I feel I never really had.
I am lucky in that all of my life I have been able to pretty much
go and do as I please and I have always given my wife that same
option. But we both always knew there were obligations of family
and home to tend to. So as lucky as I have been I still feel the urge
to break away ( remember my Hobo and Hippie fantasies). Oh
I'd return of course but what a soul cleanser that would be. Maybe
recent health issues are arousing these old wishes.. but who knows
maybe God willing a mini version may happen in the spring. One
never knows ..I've done stranger things in my life.........
