So It Goes

I have been tending to things with my father once again actually for the two days and he finally we are coming to some connect again but I have my own life to live. For those of you that read my blog back when he was in the hospital he is doing fine. And I know that certainly it does take a toll on one but I opt to take him in and then I leave him there, thereafter I really enjoy just meeting back up with some of the people that I have not seen since I moved back here.

The people you meet and what is so amazing is when you run into them how much many of them have changed in there appearance. Yet they are the same. Tomorrow for me is "me day", I am taking that time out and probably going to come on here and write. There is a friend of mine that I touched base with his father built a hotel here and I just went in and asked for him and right away he knew who I was. I am not sure if knowing everyone is the best thing, as in many ways so many things come to be known with regards to your family. I find that in my younger years, I thrived on it. However, I certainly do love to engage in a conversation where there is something of interest, and I asked if I could take a few pictures and it was nice to have a quick talk and thereafter just have that creative time.

After all was done I took picked up my father and drove him home and he was as happy as can be. So this is good but at the same time the things of today were too much fun. Especially with talking to some people and hitting it off. The weather took a change today but hopefully it will get back into the groove of not starting off as cold as it has been these mornings.

Life is funny how it works in its ways, yet this week I know that I am on the trail that I wish and desire. One can sit idle and think on things and go such a fast pace in all directions or there is that choice of once again moving forward. I find that the more there is an interaction with people when you make a move and are kind of starting it over that the best situation is to understand your own inner compass and at the same time understand that one has to move outside of there own realm a tad, as it gives way to a rebirth in a sense.

I had a call from my own cousin Delvin, whom lives in a small town and he was telling me his plans with starting to seed his crop. As well he is a second generation breeder or Clydesdale horses. We had a brief talk his younger brother which is my age is going through some tough times since his mother has passed away and that has yet to be come to a closure. I was not raised with them but it’s interesting as well of how with time people do come to be more human if that would be the appropriate word. Right now he is getting all his tractors and all reading for seeding. And I think that they all see my mother as someone that is kind of a replacement to my aunt which past away. We just did the quick small talk but everyone was concerned with all that was going on with my family and as well, Delvin is not dumb – he knows since the time I returned here to Canada that I had a host of things to tend too. However there is that choice one makes and winter is over and I am in that spring and summer mood if you know what I mean.

This is a long write as I see it but what the heck I enjoy it. I think as far as what all is going on in the world right now as something that I enjoy in reading with the newspaper in the morning and thereafter, I just go about things in my own way.

Unfortunately I with the economy I did not get the position I was wishing to get as there are cut backs going on. But I did file my taxes on time.

  2. Well regardless of where we are, there is always that taxman if you know what I mean. How did the Beatles say it, "there is one for you nineteen for me".
    All works well I will have some coming back from that taxman... :)

  6. Carlos thanks....three weeks ago we left off on not that great of terms, and now its fine. He is a proud man but I have learned that all good things come with time.

    But now it's my time and I do believe in those merits of honoring family but as well, it's very difficult to deal at times with a proud man. But is seemingly has worked out well and now I have to consider things with regards to my own self. That is not selfish it's life.
    Thanks for that consideration...mucho...

  11. Glad to hear that you can take some time for yourself. Seeing friends after a long time apart can be a rather unsettling experience for me because I can see how much time has gone by. Good luck on seeing some money back from the Feds up there :-)
