wondering can be Stressfull, with a capital S


*
I just wondered what to blog today. Something inspiring would be useful. I looked up "spiritual" on google. I don't need to look it up by the way I do know what it is but it did rreminds me of my Dr. Visit yesterday. Don't know why I capitalized "Visit"? Maybe it was because it was the one year anniversary of #2 so it needed to be and "event", or maybe it was because it shed some light on this mention of "spiritual". I occasionally get some chest pains. Guess the nitro helps with that I finally learn. Wondering what caused the pain was a subject discussed at the Doctors. It probably is angina I learned.  My mom had angina and I remember hearing about it over a lot of years. That is the good news ........."A Lot of Years". Anyway the pill helps. The pain may be brought on by stress. I was asked what was stressing me? I mentioned that the pain was stressing me. Sort of a mystery. Why is the pain caused by worrying about the pain? Sort of a chicken or egg question? The picture I found when I looked on google for the word "spiritual" that reminds me of all this, above, makes more sense by the way. Anyway I mentioned "spiritual" up a few lines. The "Visit" had that word come up. The Doc asked how my spiritual side was working? I did mention that a prayer in the middle of the night had worked even faster than the nitro so yes it was fine. I actually typed this first in  small print. I then figured why am I saving space. A blog doesn't take any space really. It is sort of out there but exists nowhere? Course who really knows? Sort of like where did the pain come from? Who really knows? Wondering can be stressful.

A hero

I actually took this picture about 6:10 AM on Sept. 8th. So that means I took this picture before I posted the last blog on our anniversary on which I posted some pictures I like of KJ. I don't have any significant reason for posting this picture today by the way but it does give me something to type under. I was impressed with a talk I heard a week ago where a young lady (in her 30's) told us that her father had gotten in the habit of sending an email each night to his family and the short focus of the email was to find something he was thankful for that day. She seemed to feel it was a good thing and I was impressed with her and how she felt about it. As I look back to my last post I know that I am thankful for the subject of that post. Today I looked at a short video a friend sent to me that was titled "Angel Flight". It was about a airplane crew that brought back solders who had died. The treated the flight as a scared and their special passenger as a hero. I was impressed that the video demonstrated how special the "hero" was. The message was of how important the hero was and how much care went into his special "angel flight".  It seems like that the most meaningful knowledge that we can gain as we go through life just might be to understand how special others are.

46................


46 years ago it would have been hard to imagine what today would be like. They were good years and the trip was a good one.

A whole Month?

Not sure I have ever, since I started blogging, gone for a whole month without blogging. It even surprises me. I could go back and recap the month. It was a fine month in most ways. The cat moved out. Zach moved out. Mike moved out. I put on weight.  On the other hand We drove to Utah. Then we drove back. Now I am not saying that this group of memories are "fine" things. I did enjoy the trip with Kathy and always enjoy seeing the Nelsons.

Perhaps I may post an even more exciting post soon. Maybe tommorrow.
