Finding Time

It’s been nearly a year since I last rambled.

Lots has happened in that year. I have two adult sons and their wives who were living with me and my wife and daughter. All of their animals also lived here. At one time I counted 5 cats and 2 dogs along with eight people. The eighth, was my first granddaughter. A blessing I’ll never regret letting live with us for the majority of her first year. It was a joy to come home and find her crawling to me when I walked through the door. It makes me smile to hear her giggles in the next room when her Dad and Mom were playing with her. There were struggles, but everyone had plenty of time to become well acquainted, and the two couples have now found a place of their own, it’s nearly time for another visit to Papa’s and Grammy’s.

As though that wasn’t enough, I volunteer working for our county GOP. There’s usually a couple of meetings to attend per month along with quite a bit of keyboard work outside my regular job. The regular job is a decent job that pays the bills and that’s pretty much all it pays. It’s about 45 minutes away, man I hate that drive.

I joined a gym last year. I started working out this past January, lifting weights and some light cardio. I’m already seeing improvements in strength and I’ve been at it for more than a month so it looks like it may stick. I’m doing it the way I want, every other day and pretty much sticking with the same workouts. I’m finding the best workouts are the ones I’ll actually do and continue to do and that helps. I’m eating cleaner, and starting to see a few results in the mirror, but choosing not to post them on social media…for reasons I can’t explain, if everyone sees me doing it, it kind of breaks the magic of me wanting to do it for me and my wife. I don’t want to quit, so I’ll just keep doing what I want when I don’t have meetings that get in the way. There is something to be said about discipline that pushes a person to succeed.

Oddly enough, a few weeks after I joined the gym, through a string of circumstances I couldn’t foresee, my Dad is now an employee of said gym. He’s like Mick from Rocky. Everybody knows him, and as near as I can see, everyone likes him.

There’s still the lingering “ouch” I feel when I think about the business I lost. It’s easy to blame others for it; blame the government, rage against the machine, complain the little guy never gets a “square deal” in life. Yet I also know I bear some of that responsibility, maybe not all of it, but some of it, and that hurts.

All of this to say I feel as though I’ve not had time to sit and research and write and do the things that in my mind I think I want to do. I’d like to remedy that. In the past year I’ve changed my mind about some things. I still follow Q, and will likely always be a fan. The Epstein Files have been released, which is a big event that Anons have been looking at for a while now. I may explain my thoughts and how that has affected me, both in the past and now. The fact I finally decided to come out with it in a plea to pray for your neighbor and your nation has led to some inquiries I wasn’t expecting, so I may expound upon that.

I’ll just have to make the time, like I am now—up too late. Onward. Christ is King.
